One Second of Not Seeing Can Cost You Everything
Picture this. You're backing out of a spot in a crowded Hicksville parking lot. You check your mirrors — nothing. You start to move, and bam! Someone clips you. By the time you're out of the car, they're already gone.
No plate. No witnesses. Just a dented bumper and a call to your insurance company.
Or you're on the LIE and someone rear-ends you, then gets out of the car insisting it was your fault. You know what happened. But you can't prove it — and that distinction stops mattering pretty fast when the adjusters get involved.
That's exactly what a dash cam and backup camera are for. The footage shows what your mirrors couldn't, and it was recording the whole time whether you were thinking about it or not.
At Parkway Car Stereo in Hicksville, we've been doing these installs for Long Island drivers for decades. Everything gets hardwired directly into your vehicle — no suction cups, no cables draped across your windshield, nothing that looks like an afterthought.
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 4K or 2K 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.

4 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 4K 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 4K for razor-sharp detail — enough to clearly capture license plates, road signs, and lane positions even at highway speed.
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 & Crimestoppers CAM-400 — Backup Camera Systems
For backup camera upgrades, Parkway installs systems from Drone XC and the Crimestoppers CAM-400 — dependable, high-quality cameras built for real-world use.
The Crimestoppers CAM-400 delivers a wide-angle rear view with sharp resolution and reliable night vision — exactly what you need when backing into a tight spot after dark.
Both cameras can be paired with your existing head unit (if compatible) or with a new aftermarket radio install for a fully integrated OEM-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.
