Dash Cam Installation Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of professionally installing a dash cam. A single front camera plugged into the cigarette lighter is free to fit yourself, the cost is in hardwiring, hiding the cables, and adding rear cameras or parking mode.
Your dash cam installation details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Running the cable to a rear camera, hidden through the headlining and pillars, is the fiddly part of a front-and-rear install, which is what you are paying an installer for over a DIY plug-in.
A single plug-in front dash cam you can fit yourself. Paying for installation gets you hidden cabling, a hardwired power source (freeing the 12V socket), rear cameras and parking mode, all of which take time to route cleanly.
💰 Ways to save
- A single front camera on the cigarette-lighter socket is free to fit yourself, pay only for hardwiring and extra cameras.
- Hardwiring hides the cables and frees the 12V socket, worth it for a clean look.
- Parking mode needs a proper cut-off kit, cheap setups can flatten your battery.
