Had my dashcams professionally reinstalled today.

For anyone interested they were able to use empty live and switched live slots in the fuse box rather than tapping onto existing fuses. He installed a battery monitor to ensure voltage doesn't drop too low.

I will try and get the pictures and post them here for anyone interested.

If you don't want to do it yourself and want to get someone to install your cameras or supply and install cameras, I highly recommend David at dashcams.co.uk. He did my ZS and now my MG4.
 
Mine is on finance, so I would say no.

It's not technically a perminent modification althought I didn't bother removing the hardwire kit from my last car - if anything it would be useful to the next owner.
What trim do you have. I heard the empty slot is for the heated seats and wheel on the trophy.
 
A few pictures of the installation. I’ll get the picture of the board later hopefully

Nice job. What was cost for install if you don’t mind sharing?
Cost varies by location, and you might be able to get a rough idea here but if your location isn't there he will give you a custom quote.

I paid less than £200 for install of 2 cams I already had and new hardwire/battery monitor kit at my house in Birmingham (he's based further north) as a returning customer. It's not the cheapest service available I know but he does an quality job.
 
Would be interesting to know which empty switched slot he used.
Here you go. Also ground bolt on the right, and piggy backs need to be in that orientation

Edit: swapped picture as now using a different switched fuse

Anyone have any idea of this Dashcam AURA HD3 Road Angel HALO PRO 2K.

I am not sure the front Cam will not be too wide when attached to the windscreen. Would have have preferred the tubular round cameras as it seems small enough not to be noticeable.
