Dash cam installation in Melbourne

Get your dash cam installed cleanly at C1 Automotive in Oakleigh South.

We install front, rear and hardwired dash cams for Melbourne drivers. We focus on clean cable routing, correct fuse-box wiring and practical advice before you book — including whether your dash cam supports parking mode and what is involved for front-and-rear setups on your specific vehicle body type.

Installation approach

Dash cam installation done cleanly.

We have been installing vehicle electronics and practical car upgrades since 2018. A good dash cam installation should not leave loose cables hanging around the windscreen or interfere with the driver's view. For hardwired setups, correct fuse selection reduces the risk of avoidable battery drain — we confirm the right approach for your vehicle before starting.

We focus on clean cable routing, suitable placement and basic function testing before handover.

Common questions

Dash cam questions.

How much does dash cam installation cost in Melbourne?
The camera plus the fitting. Fitting is $80 for a front camera or $160 front and rear, with the wiring hidden. The cameras we fit are 70mai, from $74.99 for the M310 Plus 4K to $299.99 for the A810S. Parking mode is $50 for hardwiring into the fuse box, plus $35 for the 70mai hardwire kit. Prices include GST.
Is a memory card included?
Only if the camera comes with one. If there is a memory card in the camera's box, it goes in; if there isn't, the fitting price does not include one.
What warranty do I get?
Parts we supply and our installation are covered by a one-year warranty. If you bring your own equipment, we cover the installation and the equipment stays under its maker's warranty. Your Australian Consumer Law rights continue to apply.
Will you show me how to use the dash cam?
Yes, after every install. If the camera has an app, we help you download it and connect it to your phone before you leave. If you're still not sure after using it for a while, bring the car back and we'll go through it again at no charge.
What is the difference between a hardwired and plug-in dash cam installation?
A plug-in setup draws power from the cigarette lighter socket and leaves a visible cable running to the windscreen. A hardwired installation routes power from the fuse box, so there are no loose cables and the socket stays free. Hardwiring is also required for parking mode on most dash cams.
Can you install both a front and rear dash cam?
Yes. We route the rear camera cable through the headliner and pillars to keep it out of sight. Routing time depends on whether the car is a hatch, sedan or SUV — send us your vehicle type and dash cam model for a combined quote.
Can my dash cam record while the car is parked?
Yes, if the camera supports parking mode. It needs a hardwire kit wired into the fuse box: $50 for the hardwiring, plus $35 for the 70mai hardwire kit. The hardwire kits we supply protect the battery. Each has an adjustable cut-off voltage, and once the battery drops to it, the camera stops recording. How long it keeps recording depends on the battery and how long the car sits parked.
Can you install a dash cam I have already purchased?
Yes. Fitting is the same $80 front or $160 front and rear, and hardwiring into the fuse box for parking mode is $50 — bring the hardwire kit that suits your camera. Send us the model and your vehicle details before booking so we can confirm what is involved.
How long does dash cam installation take?
A front-only dash cam installation takes about 50 minutes. Front and rear takes about an hour and a half, or about two hours with parking mode hardwired into the fuse box. Either way the car is ready the same day.
