Good to Know
> 🎥 **Insurance discounts?** Some insurers give 10-15% off if you have a dash cam fitted. Check before you buy - might save more than the installation cost over a year. **Parking mode worth it?** If you park on street or in public car parks, yes. Captures hit-and-runs while you're shopping. Needs hardwiring with voltage cutoff - I'll install it properly so it doesn't kill your battery. **Rear camera necessary?** For full protection, absolutely. Proves what happened behind you in rear-end collisions or when reversing. Most false insurance claims come from behind.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dash cam installation in Crediton
What's the difference between dash cam fitting and installation?
Nothing really - same service, different words. I mount the camera, hide all cables in trim, connect power neatly, and set it up ready to record. Some people call it fitting, others installation. Either way, you get the same professional job.
Can you install any brand of dash cam?
Yes - Nextbase, Garmin, Thinkware, Viofo, whatever you've bought. Installation process is similar across brands, though positioning and features vary. I'll set it up correctly for your specific model.
What if I haven't bought a dash cam yet?
I can advise on what to buy for your needs and budget. Front-only cameras start around £50, decent front-and-rear setups from £100-150. I don't sell them, but I'll point you toward good options.
Do you install parking mode dash cams?
Yes, but parking mode requires more complex wiring - hardwired to battery with low-voltage cutoff device to prevent draining your battery. Takes longer and costs a bit more, but works properly when you're parked.
How long until I can drive after installation?
Immediately. I test everything before you leave - camera recording, playback working, settings configured. You're fully protected from the moment you drive away.
