The ideal point for installing a dashcam is usually in the cabin rear view area, this position is usually suitable for facing the engine hood.You can also install a dashcam there to face the cabin.
Don’t choose a dashcam product carelessly, you need to adjust the features required, ease of installation and budget.
One product that could be an option is Botslab, part of the 360 Group, which is a digital security company from China.This product can be obtained at an affordable price during the 2025 Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week (GJAW) at ICE BSD City.
For example, the Botslab G980H 4-Channel, this is a dashcam with four cameras for 360 degree protection.This model has
Complete features such as 3K or 4K camera for the front and 1080P for the rear, right and left, UHD Night Vision, ADAS Smart Alerts, Hands-Free Voice Control, Parking Monitoring & Sentry Mode.
This product costs IDR 8.5 million but can be purchased for IDR 4.29 million at GJAW 2025. There are also other more affordable options available, for example the G500H Pro for IDR 2.25 million, G300 Pro IDR 1.5 million and HK30 Pro IDR 849 thousand.
If you have decided on the position and product of the dashcam you want to buy, then pay attention to how it is installed which determines the electrical power path.
There are two choices of electrical power source to activate the dash cam, first via a plug or ‘lighter’ or making your own electrical path.
If you use a lighter, there is the potential for it to dislodge if it is knocked over.Apart from that, cabin occupants will lack a cell phone charger plug point because it is already used for a dashcam.
A safer way is to run the dashcam cable through the dashboard and connect it to the car’s electricity.This installation is recommended by experienced technicians to prevent short circuits.
