Installing your Dash Camera
All the above dashcam units are Plug-and-Play - a popular option amongst our customers, as they require minimal technical knowledge and skills to install. However, we also have plenty of hardwired options amongst our stock, which themselves provide several of their own direct benefits. Amongst these benefits is their clutter-free appearance, as there are no trailing wires to contend with. Some of our dashboard cameras can also be wired to continue recording even after you turn off the engine, or use a motion sensor to begin recording after an impact when the vehicle is parked.
To learn more about these advanced models, or for more detailed advice on which is the right dashcam for you, we’re here to help. Don’t hesitate to contact our friendly team on 01254 694 537 for friendly, professional advice - or alternatively, you can get in touch through our contact form.
