Dash camera installation
Dash cameras, or dashcams, are quickly becoming a popular choice for motorists. They are an item you don’t know you need until after you need it. In the case of a traffic crash or disputed insurance claim, their footage can be invaluable.
Dash cameras can be front-facing, rear-facing, or internal facing to record the cabin. Internal facing cabin cameras are more common in rideshare cars, although some drivers opt for this type if they are looking to identify certain habits in their driving.

There could be any number of reasons you might want to install a dash camera in your car. Popular reasons for installing dash cameras include:

Dashcams range in price from around $529 for a system that plugs into your electrical socket, to over $900 for hardwired units. Our rates for dashcam installation start at $145 per hour on top of the cost of the unit.
Installation typically takes 3 hours depending on the type of unit, your chosen mounting position, and the complexity of the work involved.
Most insurers do not factor dash cameras into their policies. Although they are useful in the event of a traffic incident, it is generally considered they do not lower the chance of a crash occurring. However, we recommend checking with your insurance provider to see if they have any incentives for installing a dash camera in your vehicle.
