How to Easily Fit a Dash Cam

Hi, this video shows an easy install of the Nextbase 412GW Dash Cam. It is not a professional install as it is using the 12v power supply (cigarette lighter) rather than using a hard wired option like crimping onto a live cable or using a piggy back fuse. The car in the video is a mini cooper and the lady owner didn't want any wires showing. The professional install is a better job as you can still use the 12v power supply for other things like a sat nav or to charge your phone and if you use a supply that is always live then you can enable the parking mode on the dash cam. However the option shown in this video is an easier option and a less daunting install for the average DIYer who doesn't want to connect into the fusebox.
Many thanks Vince.

Down to earth chap, no hype, no music, clearly explained, wonderful. The only sort of person I will listen to.

"... it's not a professional job..." I beg to differ mate, I reckon you did a top job there routing that cable!

This is so concise and well done! No big intros, no blaring music, no useless explanations! Thank you.

Just passed my test in January and bought this dashcam. I love watching the playback on tv of my driving (still feels surreal) as I try to be critical and figure out how I can improve each time. This video has been brilliant from the initial opening of the box and its contents; to hiding the wiring, navigating the functions and the playback.
For a complete novice like me this has been incredibly useful, thanks so much!!!!

bought one of these 2 weeks ago and it has been sitting in the box as I was unsure how to install it. after watching your vid I decided to grasp the nettle and have a go at it. Well blow me down, 10 minutes later it was up and running, don't know what I was worried about. many thanks for the information, very clear and understandable

I bought one of these not long ago and have just left it in the car. I decided to to actually get it set up today and your video has made it really simple and straight forward to set up thanks.

One of the best tutorials of a dash cam on YouTube

It has been mentioned by other viewers of this video. Very clear, concise instructions. Brilliant video. Thank you.

Thanks for this, my daughter wants one and up till now I had no idea how they worked. You have made installation and more importantly actual setup extremely clear. An excellent video.

Fantastic tutorial. Haven’t bought a dash-cam yet just looking to buy one and thought id see how easily it is to fit this myself. Should manage no problem thanks to your easily explained video. 👍🏻😊

Wow! Absolutely brilliant review. Told me 99% of what I needed to know. The 1% missing would be how long the battery lasts? Once again brilliant review. Thanks for uploading.

what a bloody good review :), wish they were all like this

[traverlin]

Excellent. I had watched two recording by other people that told me nothing. This was exactly what I wanted to see. Many thanks.

[annualtravellers]

This is how videos should be, easy to follow and informative.
You must be a mind-reading because everything I wanted to know, you covered it! Thank you!

I've had the Nextbase smaller (cheaper) version Model 212 for over two years and it goes everywhere with me. The idea of using the little device to give extra sockets is particularly useful if your 12v socket does not turn off with the ignition. You can get switched versions thereby leaving the 12v socket permanently connected and use the switches to isolate the dash cam etc.
Absolutely recommend Nextbase, my little cam has been trouble free and gives excellent video. Nice tutorial, thanks.

Great video, I'm just about to install a Nextbase 312G with a 128gb card and this has helped a lot. Good to see that Nextbase give you lots of cable.

Vince, this is *superb*, thank you. Thorough and practical and with excellent advice. Also, I really like the fact that it's not all about you; I'm tired of watching five minutes of videos that are more about the YouTuber's ego and how bloody fab they think they are! I wish all guide videos on here were like this. Tremendous. Thanks for your help.

Bloody brilliant, Superp video. I have just bought this camera and was wondering how difficult it was but now well assured how to use it, thanks so much, you went through it all.
As for the wiring you under estimate yourself, absolutely first class job.
Very well presented as well.
Many thanks again.
All the best
Duncan.

Brilliant video. I was dreading trying to install a dashcam in my new car, but did a really neat job as well in about 10-15 minutes. Don't think it would have looked so neat/hidden without watching this first.
