How much does a dash cam cost?

Are dash cams expensive? I read somewhere that you can get a lower car insurance rate if you install one, so I’ve been trying to decide if it’s worth it or not.

A typical
dashcam
will cost you between $100 and $400, depending on the brand and style of camera you choose. If you choose to have someone install the camera for you, you can expect to pay an additional $35 to $50.
While insurance companies don’t typically offer discounts specifically for having a dashcam, they can definitely have an effect of your insurance rates! Dash cams can prove that you weren’t at fault if you get into a car accident, making them a great tool if you’re involved in a traffic accident.
