1296p front onlyRoad Angel Halo Go 2
One small camera on the windscreen, hardwired properly. The least you can spend with us and still have footage worth sending an insurer.
Collection
A dashcam is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy — as long as it was recording, the plate is readable and the footage is still there when you go looking. All three of those come down to how it was fitted.

The short version
A loop of the road ahead and behind, at a resolution that can actually read a number plate. Anything less is a video of an incident you cannot prove.
An impact saves that clip away from the loop, so the footage you need is still there next week when the insurer finally asks for it.
Hardwiring is what enables parking mode. The car is covered on a car park or a driveway, which is where most of the damage nobody owns up to happens.
The only decision that matters
We fit one brand, so this is not a brand comparison — it is a resolution one, and that is the only specification that really decides anything. The question is whether you need a plate readable in daylight, or readable at night as well. The second costs more, and for a lot of drivers it is not needed at all.

What customers say
Had my Mercedes C180 in with Kaine to replace both front suspension springs. I knew that this was not an easy job on this car. Dropped the car off in the morning and it was ready that afternoon. He did an amazing job and I'll be recommending him to friends and family for any work that they need doing. 5 stars!
Had my Audi S3 in for a complete overhaul — Kaine supplied and fitted all the parts, including cam belt, water pump, a full service and a balance shaft delete. He also noticed one of my rear callipers was sticking, so recommended and fitted a new calliper and new rear discs and pads too. A 5 star service — I'll only use Kaine from now on for any mechanical work.
Exceptional experience with Kaine. Came out to me, took my car and fixed it all within two hours. Very impressed and will definitely call him if needed again. Great price.
5 of our bundles include something from this range. One visit, one price, and the same hardware you would have bought anyway — including combinations we will put together for you if none of the ready-made ones fit.
Plenty of people arrive with a camera already in the box. We will hardwire it, hide the cables, set the parking mode up properly and show you how to get footage off it — typically from £129 depending on the car.
Questions
If you want parking mode, yes — a camera on the 12V socket stops recording the moment you switch the ignition off, which rules out the entire time the car is sitting unattended. Hardwiring also gets the cable out of sight and off your windscreen.
Not when it is fitted properly. The hardwire kit has a voltage cut-off that stops recording before the battery drops below what it needs to start the car, and we set that threshold with you at handover.
Full HD covers a daylight collision at ordinary distances, which is most claims. 2K is the step where plates stay readable in poorer light, and 4K with a Sony Starvis sensor is what you want if you drive at night or park on an unlit street. On the rear camera Full HD is plenty, because anything behind you is closer.
No. A dashcam shows you what happened and who was there; a tracker shows you where the car is now. They answer different questions, which is why the two are so often fitted together — and why we price them as a bundle when they are.
A handful of insurers offer a small discount and most do not. Where a camera genuinely pays for itself is a not-at-fault claim — with footage it is settled quickly and your no-claims comes through intact.
Yes. Placement around rain sensors, heating elements and camera clusters is part of the job. Nothing is drilled, and everything runs behind the trim.
