The dashcam does end up in front of it, and it might be affecting the dimming of the rear view mirror, but only making it dim slightly earlier than it would normally, not the other way around. I've not seen it cause a problem, put it that way.
Ah, I see. If it has been dimming my rearview prematurely, then I haven't noticed.

....I also have 20% rear tint, so that may also be contributing to me not noticing the dimming even more so....
