I’ve been using a dashcam now for four years and even though I haven’t caught anything interesting yet, I still would recommend people have one installed in their cars. Dashcams are small video recorders you mount on your front windshield and they record everything that happens in front of your car. They’re great for capturing accidents that aren’t your fault and are used in a lot of countries for insurance purposes.
The other day while visiting A-Store in Shuwaikh I noticed they were selling a bunch of different dashcams including the brand Aukey. Their prices were more expensive than Amazon but if you don’t want to go through the hassle of ordering from Amazon then they might be a good choice.
Their store is in Shuwaikh across from Tilal [Google Maps] but they have the cameras listed on their online store which you can check out [Here]
If you know of any other places in Kuwait that sell dashcams, let me know.

I’ve been pondering on getting one for a year now, and even have a few shortlisted on my Amazon wishlist. However, my problem is that I wanted a dual camera setup, with permanent connection to car’s battery for continuous recording while off (if somebody hits the car while parked somewhere) and I don’t have the time or expertise to hook up such a system. Is there a place anyone can recommend in Kuwait that can take care of that?
P.S. Is it legal in Kuwait? Or would I get in trouble for using it?
I got my Transcend dashcam from BEST in Hawally, didn’t see any other brands there though.
i bought a PAPAGO Dash Camera years ago at B&H in NY, been using it for about 3 years now without a problem in kuwait.
Aukey is a stellar brand, they build really robust stuff, i would not mind buying a Aukey dashcam at all.
I was thinking of installing one for my car but im just scared that once i buy it i won’t find anyone good to install it or that they might damage something in my car.

On a different note – what is the best remote controlled plane or drone available in Kuwait?
Contact these people and ask if they would do it for you: https://zahrat-al-naseem-car-accessories.kuwaitbd.com/about_us
Also, check out the new viofos 129a duo. Dual dashcam, but you will have to wait for a week or two until they release their hardwire kit so it can do exactly what you mention here.
Good luck!
Thanks! (I am assuming this was addressed to me) I will definitely check them out.

are dashcams legal in Kuwait? is the footage recognized by insurance companies or/and by police report? would they be accepted in court for proof?
I used it in an car accident case (with the investigator and the cops at the reception area) nobody mentioned anything about it being illegal. On the contrary, the investigator actually said “[you] thank God that you have this video, it will make the process so much easier for you.” (He only said this because the other party was not convinced that she had committed the mistake and appealed his decision)
Dash cams are cheap and more or less standard in many countries. Without it, one is at risk for frivolous lawsuits and false claims. It should definitely be a no-brainer for expats in a country
I saw some at Q. and they were way cheaper than go pro but looked a lot alike.
If you are an EXPAT in Kuwait especially you need to have dash cam !!! there’s been so many cases that have been judged wrongly due to false claims. Most expats drive professionally and don’t want any trouble or to get into an accident. Then, you have the locals that don’t care and will defiantly lie in any give n moment to not have to pay for their mistake because they know that Kuwait will back them without proof, and they sleep well at night loll!!! So please I recommend anyone to not think twice about it get a good dash cam it saves you KD!!!! On a good not I love Kuwait and do not hold the country accountable for a few actions. Kuwaitis especially the order generation are great and humble individuals. Cameras are not illegal in great state of Kuwait either its recommended for procession purposes.
