I have seen them for sale on Ebay.
I fitted some to mine when I had interference problems. I made a loop of the power cable (see HERE), and held it together with the ferrite core, approx 3 or 4 inches from the dashcam.

It made no difference.

I changed the power supply, with one similar to THIS and all was good again.
