What moves the price
- Type of dash cam being installed — a front and rear system takes longer to fit than a front camera alone.
- Complexity of the installation — hardwiring into the fuse box takes longer than a plug-in camera powered from the socket.
- Additional features like GPS or Wi-Fi connectivity — these need extra setup and app pairing once the dash cam is fitted.
- Cable routing — running the rear camera cable through the headlining and tailgate adds time to the dash cam installation.
- Vehicle trim and layout — some cars have panels and pillars that take longer to remove when hiding the dash cam wiring.
- Parking mode — wiring the dash cam to record while parked needs a hardwire kit and more time at the fuse box.
