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

    What is your location?
    What car is it?

    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.
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/TOOHUI%C2%AE-Profile-Circuit-Adapter-Harness/dp/B07KPKT4VX/ref=psdc_303645031_t3_B07DNTRBSM

    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!
