Pricing Factors

What Actually Determines a Dash Cam's Price

Bundled vs Standalone

Many providers, including Netstar, price a dash cam as an add-on to an existing tracking plan rather than as a fully separate product — so the "price" you're quoted is often a combined monthly figure, not just the camera hardware.

Camera Configuration

A single forward-facing camera costs less than a dual-facing (road + cabin) or multi-camera setup. Higher resolution, night vision and built-in AI driver-monitoring features also push the price up.

Storage & Connectivity

Whether footage is stored locally (on a memory card) or uploaded via cellular data for remote/cloud access affects both the device cost and any ongoing data fee.

Installation

A dash cam wired into the vehicle's power supply for a permanent installation typically costs more to fit than a simple windscreen-mounted, battery or cigarette-lighter-powered unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a dash cam to an existing Netstar tracking plan?+

Generally yes — dash cam options are usually offered as an add-on for existing customers as well as new sign-ups. Confirm current availability and pricing directly with Netstar.

Does a dash cam replace the need for GPS tracking?+

No — a dash cam records footage for evidence purposes; it doesn't provide location tracking or a monitored recovery service on its own. See our car GPS tracker guide for what tracking actually covers.

Will a dash cam lower my insurance premium?+

Some insurers offer a discount for dash cam footage as supporting evidence in a claim, but this is set by the insurer, not the tracking provider. Confirm with your own insurer — see our insurance-approved trackers guide for how this generally works.

Is "Tracker Prices South Africa" the same company as Netstar?+

No. Tracker Prices SA is an independent comparison service. We are not affiliated with, and cannot speak on behalf of, Netstar.
