Picture this. You're backing out of a spot in a crowded parking lot in Hicksville. You check your mirrors — nothing. You start to move, and bam. A car you never saw clips your bumper and keeps going.
No plate. No witnesses. Just you, a dented bumper, and a call to your insurance company.
Or you're on the LIE and someone rear-ends you. They get out of the car insisting it was your fault — and you have zero proof otherwise. Two words from the other driver and suddenly it's your insurance rate going up.
It doesn't have to go down like that.
A professionally installed dash cam and backup camera changes the entire equation. You have footage. You have evidence. You have proof of exactly what happened — and what didn’t.
At Parkway Car Stereo in Hicksville, we've been installing dash cams and backup cameras for Long Island drivers for decades. Clean, discreet installs that hardwire directly into your vehicle — no dangling cables, no suction cup mounts, no mess.
Just protection you can count on, installed right the first time.
Two Cameras. Two Angles. Total Coverage.
Most drivers think of dash cams and backup cameras as two different upgrades — but the smartest setups combine both into one complete system that covers every angle of your vehicle.
Dash Cams — Your Witness on the Road
A dash cam is a small camera mounted to your windshield or dashboard that records everything in front of (and behind) your vehicle while you drive.
The best systems record in 2K or 4K resolution, run automatically whenever the car is on, and loop-record so you never run out of storage. Many include parking mode, which keeps your car monitored even when you're not in it — catching anything from door dings to break-in attempts while you're parked.
Whether you're commuting on the LIE or parked overnight in Hicksville, a dash cam is always watching.
Backup Cameras — See What Your Mirrors Can't
A backup camera is mounted to the rear of your vehicle and activates automatically when you shift into reverse — giving you a clear, wide-angle view of everything directly behind you that your mirrors can't show.
Backup cameras are federally mandated on all new vehicles sold after 2018. If your car predates that or your stock camera is low-quality, an aftermarket upgrade makes a significant difference — especially on trucks, SUVs, and vans where rear visibility is critical.
Combined with a compatible head unit or display, a backup camera is one of the simplest and most practical safety upgrades you can make.
What to Expect When You Bring Your Car to Parkway
We keep it simple. No surprises, no runaround.
We Talk First
You call or stop in. We look at your vehicle, talk through what you want, and give you a straight quote upfront. No pressure, no mystery pricing.
We Choose the Right System
Not every dash cam or backup camera is built for every car. We'll match you with the right setup for your vehicle, your budget, and how you drive — whether that's a basic front-facing cam, a front-and-rear system, or a full multi-camera setup with parking mode.
Clean, Hardwired Installation
This is where Parkway separates from a DIY job. We hardwire the camera directly into your vehicle's electrical system — no visible cables, no suction cups, no clutter. The result looks factory-clean and performs reliably because it's done right.
Walk-Through & You're Good to Go
Before you leave, we walk you through how everything works. Most installs are done same-day.

Book My Install4 Reasons Long Island Drivers Are Getting Dash Cams & Backup Cameras Installed
1 — Your Own Eyewitness on the Road
Long Island traffic is no joke — the LIE, the Northern State, the Meadowbrook. Accidents happen fast, and fault gets disputed even faster. A dash cam is your personal, objective eyewitness. It records exactly what happened — the speed, the lane position, the moment of impact. When the other driver says it was your fault, your footage says otherwise.
2 — Eliminates Blind Spots When Reversing
Even with good mirrors, there's a zone directly behind your rear bumper that's completely invisible from the driver's seat. For trucks, SUVs, and minivans it's even bigger. That's where kids, bikes, shopping carts, and other cars live. A backup camera shows you everything in that zone the moment you shift into reverse.
3 — Catches Hit-and-Runs and Parking Lot Incidents
You come back to your car and find a dent you didn't put there. No note. No cameras in the lot. No way to know who did it. With parking mode enabled on your dash cam, your camera stays active and motion-triggered even when your car is off. It captures anyone who bumps your car, tries to break in, or keys your paint.
4 — Protects You 24/7 — Even When You're Not There
Dash cams with parking mode act as a full-time security camera for your vehicle. Whether you're in the office, at a restaurant, or home for the night — your car is being watched. It's one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make for peace of mind, especially if you park on the street or in shared lots.
What We Install at Parkway Car Stereo
We carry top-rated dash cams and backup camera systems — and we'll help you pick the right one for your vehicle and budget.
Momento M8 Pro — Front & Rear 2K System
The Momento M8 Pro is one of the best dual-camera dash cam systems on the market, and it's a top install at Parkway. The front camera shoots in true 2K for sharp, reliable detail — enough to clearly capture license plates, road signs, and lane positions even at highway speed. The rear camera records in full HD 1080p, so you have complete coverage front and back simultaneously.
Built-in Wi-Fi lets you pull footage directly to your phone without touching the SD card. GPS logs your speed, heading, and location alongside the video — giving you a complete picture of every incident.
Parking mode is built in. Motion or impact detection triggers automatic recording, so your car is protected even when you're not behind the wheel.
Ask us about hardwired installation with an external battery pack to keep parking mode running without draining your car's battery.
Drone XC — Connected 2K Dash Cam
For drivers who want their dash cam always connected, Parkway installs the DroneMobile XC — a 2-channel 2K QHD dash camera built with LTE, Wi-Fi, and GPS.
The built-in LTE connection means you can check in on your vehicle remotely from the DroneMobile app, even when you're nowhere near your car. Wi-Fi gives you fast footage transfers, and GPS tracks your route, speed, and location alongside every clip.
Like the Momento M8 Pro, the Drone XC records front and rear simultaneously — a great option if you want dash cam coverage with true remote connectivity built in.
Crimestopper CAM-400 — Backup Camera System
For backup camera installs, Parkway installs the Crimestopper CAM-400 — a universal 5-in-1 camera system built for real-world use.
It delivers a wide-angle rear view with sharp resolution, so you always have a clear picture of what's behind you when backing into a tight spot.
The CAM-400 can be paired with your existing head unit (if compatible) or installed alongside a new aftermarket radio for a fully integrated, factory-look setup.
Backup Camera Upgrades
If your vehicle doesn't have a backup camera — or if your factory camera is low resolution — we offer aftermarket upgrades that are a massive improvement. Options include:
- License plate frame cameras — most popular, discreet, easy to mount
- Flush-mount bumper cameras — blend into the body for a factory look
- Mirror-integrated displays — feeds directly to your rearview mirror
Wide-angle lens, night vision, and parking guidelines available.
Single-Camera Dash Cams
Want straightforward front-facing protection without the full system? We install compact, high-resolution single-camera dash cams that hide behind your rearview mirror — completely out of your line of sight.
Great for rideshare drivers, daily commuters, or anyone who wants solid coverage without a full build-out.
