Why hardwire a dash cam
A plug-in camera hangs off the cigarette lighter and stops when the car does. A hardwired one is out of sight and keeps watch around the clock.
Proof if something happens
Clear footage of the drive for your insurer, instead of your word against theirs.
Watches while you’re parked
Parking mode keeps recording bumps and scrapes in the lot after you walk away.
No cables on show
Wiring tucked behind the trim, so the cabin looks like it came from the factory.
Your battery stays safe
A low-voltage cut-off switches the camera off before the battery runs low.
Add a backup camera
A backup camera that shows on your stereo screen, fitted in the same visit as your dash cam.

Dash cam questions
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation, whether you call, send the form or stop by the counter.
How much does a dash cam install cost?
It depends on the camera you pick and whether you want front only or front and rear. We quote the camera and the hardwired install together, so you get one price before we start.
Front only, or front and rear?
A front camera records what happens ahead of you. Adding a rear camera also records anyone who hits you from behind or follows too close, which is why most people choose both.
What is parking mode?
Parking mode keeps the camera watching after you switch the car off. Depending on the camera, it records when it senses a bump or movement around the car, so you have footage of a hit-and-run in a parking lot.
Will a hardwired dash cam drain my battery?
Not when it’s wired properly. We use hardwire kits with a low-voltage cut-off, so parking mode switches off before the battery gets too low to start the car.
Can you install a dash cam I bought online?
Usually, yes, as long as the camera is new. Tell us the make and model when you book and we’ll confirm what the install needs.
