In fairness, it won’t be done for free.

What is your location?

OP, being honest, if you can spare 30 minutes you can do it yourself. I have a dash cam and rear camera built into a mirror (Yi dash cam mirror). I was able to run the cables behind the panels and I attached it to the boot inside looking out the window.

I'm in the same area as the OP, and I'm looking for somebody to hard wire in a dash cam. I have no issue with routing the wires (already have the hard wire kit), but I don't want to do the wiring bit, and maybe the OP is the same.
I haven't looked too hard for somebody to do it yet, but if anybody has any recommendations, I would be grateful

Rang a mechanical and he do install dash cam for ppl but it cost 100euro per hour. If it take 3 hours, he’s charging 300euro for installation ! Imagine !

What were you expecting? That's a bit high on fairness but also not outrageous.

Its a simple job with patience, most universal cameras are made to be installed on the driveway.

You hardly thought it was a 20 euro job did ya?

You're paying for time and experience.

Maybe watch a few youtube videos to give yourself an idea of work involved and tackle it yourself?

If i were you, i would do it myself, with the advent of youtube and amazon, the steps are all there for you.
I did one in my quasqai with a similar fuse adapter like this.

For the actual routing of the cable, generally by your shin on the drivers side, fuse panel would be in there, allowing a nice route up the door pillar, to the a frame and along the window. Thats for a front one.

Have a look at this video, see if it is something you woul dbe comfortable with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wml4-DJ0YuM Front one
or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2GNqJffZKA rear
I imagine you will find it easier then you thought!
