I am considering having a dash cam fitted to my S5.

Can anybody recommend a front and rear mounted camera and a competent fitter in Scotland. Preferably near Edinburgh.

Thanks in anticipation.

I bought a new Lexus RX450H in April and got Nextbase ( model no. 522 I think)front and rear dashcams fitted ,great units that link with your home WiFi however I got the Edinburgh Lexus dealer to fit before delivery.

Maybe worth asking in the Scotland forum, you'll probably get a more relevant response.

I have a nextbase on in my A4 and hard wired it in myself. Not difficult, the wires just go into the fuse box and from memory use an empty slot to connect into. Then run the wire round the windscreen pushing it behind the trim. It's not a perfect fitting, but it's 99% of what you would get if you paid someone and took me less than an hour start to finish. That was front only. Rear probably the same, maybe a little harder to run wires, but presumably will connect into the boot.

It's very straight forward to do yourself and plenty of guides out there. If looking for a switching fuse the Soundaktor is a good one to use.
