Whether you want clear footage in a carpark bingle or full coverage for touring, we install your gear to spec so it just works when you need it.

FAQ
How much storage do I need for a dashcam?
The storage you’ll need depends on your dashcam’s video quality, the number of cameras (front, rear, cabin), and how long you want it to record before looping. For standard front-facing cameras recording in full HD, a 32GB card typically stores about 3–4 hours of footage. For dual-channel setups or 4K video, 64GB to 128GB is recommended. Some high-end units support 256GB or more. Most dashcams record in loops, automatically overwriting old footage unless it’s saved due to an incident or manually protected.
Will a dashcam affect my insurance?
Having a dashcam can be beneficial when dealing with insurance claims, as it provides clear evidence of events on the road. Some insurers may view it positively and even offer discounts, but this isn’t yet common practice across the board. In most cases, the footage can help speed up claims or support your version of events, which may work in your favour when liability is disputed. It's important to make sure your dashcam is positioned legally and footage is accessible if needed. Always check with your insurer for their specific stance.
Can I install a dashcam myself?
You can install a dashcam yourself using the supplied cigarette lighter plug or USB, but this often leaves exposed wires and can interfere with power when the car is off. For a cleaner setup, hardwiring is recommended, which hides the cabling and allows features like parking mode. This requires tapping into the vehicle’s fuse box and possibly using a hardwire kit or voltage cut-off module. While DIY is possible with the right tools and knowledge, a professional install ensures the system works properly without damaging your car’s electrical system.
