How much it costs to install a dashcam

How much it costs to install a dashcam

We get frequent inquiries on how much it costs to install a dashcam.

Let's assume the inquired vehicle is a 2023 Toyota Corolla 4-door sedan and the customer brings a front and rear dashcam package inclusive of a compatible micro-SD card and a genuine hardwire kit.

The installation cost for a compact sedan is $120 ex-GST.

We will professionally install the dashcam by hardwiring the genuine hardwire kit or (an OBD2 power accessory cable) to the vehicle's electrical system to enable parking mode. To sum up the cost factor, for $120, the customers get the following:

  • Professional Installation of your 2-channel (front and rear) dashcam
  • Lifetime Warranty on Workmanship
  • Complimentary walk-through and guide on how to use your dashcam

How much time does the installation require?

A standard sedan takes around 2 hours to professionally hardwire a 2-channel dashcam. Hatchbacks, SUVs, and MPVs take longer due to their liftgate trunk design. Add another 0.5 or 1 hour for an auxiliary dashcam battery in conjunction with the dashcam installation.

Why is the installation cost different depending on the vehicle type?

The installation cost varies depending on the vehicle type. This is mainly due to the required skill and ability to finish on time. Every car is different in terms of electrical layout, interior trim construction, and consumable parts needed in the installation process.

About your dashcam.

If you have purchased a low-cost, unknown, unsure product somewhere online for a great price, we suggest that you reconsider and compare the total package (product reliability, installation quality, and warranty coverage) before installing it or even buying it in the first place.

What else should a customer know about our services?

Our relationship and trust-building begin once the installation has been completed.

We invite the customer to a complimentary walk-through of the installation process and also assist you with the smartphone connection setup until you feel confident to do it on your own.

However, there are some dashcams that we would not have experienced just yet (new products or unpopular brands and models). But do not worry! We will work it out and go through the steps together. There are some, if not many, low-cost dashcams that will have product and reliability issues already from day 1 due to quality, reliability, and Wi-Fi connectivity issues. So please bear this in mind before you make a purchase decision.
