Dash Cam Front and Rear Installation Guide

Mount both cameras high without blocking the driver's view, test the rear-camera cable before hiding it and leave enough slack for a moving tailgate. Use professional help around airbags or unfamiliar electrics.

A dash cam front rear install succeeds or fails on placement and cable planning. Position the front unit near the rear-view mirror without obscuring the swept viewing area, and place the rear camera where demister lines, trim and the wiper pattern cause the least interference.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Where should front and rear dash cams be installed?

The front camera is usually mounted high near the rear-view mirror; the rear camera goes high on the rear glass. Neither should obstruct required visibility.

Can a front and rear dash cam be installed in a hatchback?

Yes, but the cable must cross the moving tailgate safely, usually through an appropriate factory conduit or a route recommended for the vehicle.

How long does a front and rear dash cam installation take?

It depends on vehicle trim, airbags, tailgate design and whether the system is hardwired. A careful dual-camera fit takes longer than plugging in a front-only camera.

Should a dual dash cam be professionally fitted?

Professional fitting is sensible if cable routing passes near airbags, trim removal is unfamiliar or a fuse-box connection is required.
