Why a Hardwired Dash Cam Is Different
Most dash cams sold online plug into the lighter socket, leaving a cable across the dash. If that plug comes loose, the recording stops. If the camera switches off with the ignition, it misses what happens while you're parked. We route the power along the A-pillar and headliner to the fuse box, with no loose cable to snag or unplug. The camera comes on with the car, and a hardwiring kit lets it keep recording after you walk away.
Parking mode keeps a hardwired Thinkware or Garmin in a low-power state while the vehicle is off. When it senses an impact or movement, it wakes and saves the clip. Someone reverses into you in a lot at Park Royal and drives off — you have the plate. Done through the lighter socket, that footage simply does not exist.
Backup Cameras That Work With What You Have
You don't always need a new stereo to add a backup camera. On many vehicles we can add a camera and bring the picture up on the factory screen using a vehicle-specific interface, so the dash stays exactly as it was and the image appears the moment you select reverse. Where the factory screen cannot take a video input, we pair the camera with a compact mirror monitor or, if you were already thinking about it, an aftermarket touchscreen that adds CarPlay and Android Auto at the same time.
The camera itself ranges from a universal unit like the Crimestopper CAM-400 — a small, discreet camera that mounts cleanly on almost any vehicle — to vehicle-specific cameras that replace a licence-plate light or sit in the tailgate handle, so the car looks exactly as it did from the factory. We'll check what fits your model and how well it can be hidden. We also fit front cameras for long-nosed trucks and low sports cars, and rear-facing dash cams that double as a reversing view.
Parking Sensors and Blind-Spot Alerts
Sensors go in where the factory would have put them — flush in the bumper, colour-matched, wired to a discreet buzzer or a display — so the vehicle looks like it came that way. Blind-spot systems add radar modules behind the rear bumper and small indicators in the mirrors or A-pillars. Both can save a bumper, and both are common retrofits. Plenty of vehicles left the factory without them simply because of the trim level chosen.
Dash Cams & Safety — Common Questions
Will parking mode drain my battery?
Not when it is installed with a proper hardwiring kit. The kit monitors your battery voltage and cuts power to the camera before it drops low enough to affect starting, and we set that threshold for your vehicle. On a healthy battery a modern camera in parking mode draws very little. If your battery is already tired, parking mode will make that apparent sooner. We'll talk about that before we start.
Can I add a backup camera to my factory screen?
On many vehicles, yes. We use a vehicle-specific interface that lets the factory display accept a camera input, so reverse triggers the picture on the screen you already have. Whether your exact year and model can do this depends on the head unit it shipped with — tell us what you drive and we will check before we quote. Where it is not possible, a mirror monitor or a new touchscreen are the alternatives.
How long does a dash cam install take?
A front camera, hardwired with parking mode, is usually a couple of hours. Front and rear together, or a camera plus a backup camera on the factory screen, is a half day. Parking sensors and blind-spot systems take longer because the bumper comes off. We give you a firm time when we book you in.
Do you fit fleet vehicles and work trucks?
Yes. We can fit the same camera the same way across your fleet, with parking mode and optional cloud upload so you don't have to remove the card to get footage. Tell us how many vehicles you have and we'll quote for the whole job.
