About this index

What DashboardCamReviews is, and how it works

DashboardCamReviews is a UK dash cam fitting price index that records what fitting actually costs, with every figure carrying the source it came from and the date it was quoted.

That sentence is the whole of what this site is. Everything below is how we keep it true.

How we source a figure

Every price on this site comes from one of three places: an owner describing what they paid on a public forum such as MoneySavingExpert, HonestJohn, PistonHeads or DashCamTalk, a fitter's own published price list, or a manufacturer's checkout page. We do not estimate, model, or average. We do not publish a number if nobody has said it in public.

Each figure carries the date it was quoted or the page was dated, and a link to where it came from, so you can check it yourself rather than take our word for it. We publish both figures and label them disputed where sources disagree on the same fact. We do not quietly pick the one that sounds more plausible. Halfords' own fitting price is the clearest example. Four separate sources land on £35, £55, £70 and £80, two of them independently reporting £35. Halfords itself publishes no figure at all. That contradiction is on this site, not smoothed over.

Confidence tiers

Every figure on this site is tagged with one of these five tiers. This is the single most important part of this page: it tells you how much to trust any number you read here.

Confidence tiers used to label every price on this site.
Tier What it means Figures currently at this tier
Verified We fetched the primary source ourselves. 1
Sourced A named, dated public post or price list states it. 13
Vendor The seller's own published rate. Real, but not neutral. 3
Disputed Sources contradict each other on the same fact. 4
Unverified Seen in a search snippet only. The primary source was blocked. 4

What we do not do

We do not fit dash cams. We do not test cameras. We have no workshop, no van, and no toolkit. Every figure on this site describes what someone else charged, or reported paying, sourced and dated.

That is a deliberate limit, not an oversight. It is what lets us publish a fitter's own bad job, such as a dash cam wired into an airbag circuit, without a trade relationship or a commercial conflict getting in the way of saying so.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site go to retailers or manufacturers, including Amazon, and may be affiliate links. We may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you buy through one. This never changes a price we publish or the source we cite for it.

We tag a figure as vendor in the table above when it comes from a fitter selling the service, such as a mobile fitter's own published rate.

We do not currently have any installer partners signed for the local quote service on this site. Nobody has been vetted or signed as of 9 July 2026. Any commercial arrangement will be disclosed here and on the page where it applies, if and when a fitter is signed.

Corrections policy

Tell us if a figure on this site is wrong, out of date, or you were quoted something different. Email editor@dashboardcamreviews.co.uk with the page, the figure, and where your own number came from. We will check it, correct the page, and note the date we changed it. We would rather be told we are wrong than leave an outdated price standing.
