I don't have a dash cam, I'm speaking from general electronic/interference.

1. You don't want devices transmitting and receiving in close proximity. The body and electronics of one devices will distort the actions of the other devices. The dashcam could create a blind spot for your radar detector, and that's without considering what the upload transmit data will do to the ability of the detector to absorb uninterrupted information.

2. I am assuming that the dash cam needs to be as close to driver view as possible for insurance defense. However, it seems to be that radar detectors perform to max capability when put near the top of the windshield. Even if you have a camera in one place, the display device in another, you're still creating a lot of wireless crosstalk, especially when a two second delay in getting a KA alert means you get pulled over or you don't.

3. Active cloud upload from a traffic cam is going to generate a ton of data that is likely to interfere. I don't read FCC documents, but you can go the route of checking wavelengths used by each device, etc., to make sure.
