Dash Cam
Installation
Leeds
If you're looking for reliable, professional dash cam installation in Leeds, OJB Autocare is your local expert. Whether you drive around the city centre, commute across West Yorkshire, or regularly travel further afield, a professionally fitted dash cam gives you peace of mind that your journeys are recorded, your vehicle is protected, and your insurance claims are backed by solid evidence.
At OJB Autocare, our experienced auto electricians handle everything from simple single-camera setups to full hardwired dual-channel systems with parking mode capability. We take pride in clean, tidy installations that look factory-fitted — because a dash cam shoved on a windscreen with a dangling cable isn't good enough when you're trusting it to protect you.
Types of Dash
Cam We Install at
OJB Autocare
Not all dash cams are the same, and the right choice depends on your vehicle, your budget, and how you use your car. Here's a breakdown of the main options we work with.-
The most common type, a front dash cam records the road ahead continuously. It's ideal for capturing incidents in front of you, including collisions, near-misses, and erratic driving behaviour. Most modern front cameras record in Full HD or 4K and include wide-angle lenses to capture multiple lanes of traffic.
-
A rear camera records what's happening behind your vehicle, which is particularly useful for proving fault in rear-end collisions — one of the most common types of road accident in the UK. Rear cameras are also valuable if you regularly drive on motorways or dual carriageways where tailgating is a risk.
-
For comprehensive coverage, a front and rear dash cam system is the gold standard. Both cameras are linked and record simultaneously, giving you full 360-degree coverage of your vehicle. This is the setup we most commonly recommend for everyday drivers who want full protection.
-
Parking mode is a feature that allows your dash cam to continue recording when the vehicle is stationary and unattended. Some cameras use motion detection to trigger recording, while others record continuously in a loop. For this to work properly without draining your battery, it needs to be hardwired with a hardwiring kit that draws power from a fused circuit — something our auto electricians do routinely and correctly.
-
If you operate a taxi, private hire vehicle, or commercial van in Leeds, an interior-facing or multi-channel dash cam system may be exactly what you need. These systems can include driver-facing cameras as well as front and rear coverage, providing protection for both driver and passenger. We have experience installing these systems across a variety of vehicle types.

The Real Benefits of Having a
Dash Cam Installed
A dash cam is a smart investment that protects you in accidents by providing clear video evidence of what really happened, helping prevent unfair blame or fraudulent insurance claims. It can also support faster claims processing and may even reduce insurance premiums or protect your no-claims bonus. With parking mode, it records incidents even when your car is off, offering evidence for bumps, vandalism, or theft attempts while parked. On top of that, the visible presence of a dash cam can deter reckless behaviour and criminal activity, making your vehicle less likely to be targeted in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
For a straightforward single front camera with hardwiring, most installations take around 60 to 90 minutes. A dual-channel front and rear system with parking mode can take up to two hours. We'll always give you an accurate timeframe when you book.
-
Yes, dash cams are completely legal to use in the UK. There are a few guidelines to follow — the camera should not significantly obstruct the driver's view, and if you're recording audio inside the vehicle, you may need to inform passengers. Our team will make sure your installation complies with all relevant regulations.
-
Yes. We strongly recommend hardwiring for a clean, permanent installation. Hardwiring connects the dash cam directly to your vehicle's fuse box, eliminating trailing cables and making parking mode possible. It also means the camera turns on and off automatically with the ignition.
-
When installed correctly with a hardwiring kit that includes a low-voltage cutoff, your dash cam will stop drawing power before the battery drops to a level that would prevent the car from starting. Our auto electricians always configure this correctly to protect your battery.
-
Absolutely. If you've purchased your own dash cam, we're happy to provide a professional installation service. Just bring your camera, any accessories, and the vehicle, and we'll take care of the rest.
-
For parking mode, you want a camera that supports either buffered parking mode, motion detection recording, or time-lapse recording when stationary. It also needs to be hardwired with a hardwiring kit. We can advise you on the best options for your specific vehicle and budget.
-
Yes. Our team routes all cables discreetly through the headlining, door seals, and trim panels so there's no visible wiring in the cabin. The finished result looks neat and professional, as it should.
-
Many UK insurers offer discounts for dash cam users, and footage can be invaluable when making or defending a claim. It can protect your no-claims bonus, disprove fraudulent claims, and help settle disputes quickly. Check with your specific insurer for details on how they factor dash cam usage into your policy.
-
Yes. We work with all types of vehicles, including cars, vans, taxis, and private hire vehicles. Multi-channel and driver-facing camera systems are available for commercial operators who need more comprehensive coverage.
-
Most dash cams store footage on a microSD card, which you can remove and view on a computer, or review directly through the camera's own screen or a connected mobile app. We'll walk you through how to access and manage your footage as part of our installation handover.
