Hello,
need advice from anyone who has fitted, hard wired a dashcam in Picanto, and best one etc, not looking to pay a fortune, looking for value for money.

Any pointers would be really appreciated

I would advise to search the forum as there are a lot of posts on this subject. Fitting is pretty much the same on all Kia's

A lot depends on your level of skill on the electrics for hard wiring as you do need a multimeter. Also get some trim removal tools (cheap from Amazon) as it makes it a lot easier to get trim off without breaking clips.

For starters try this thread.

Dashcam "hardwire" using fuse adapter

Just been trial fitting the hardwire kit for the Dashcam, Now I've used a fuse adapter and piggy backed off the 15A Multi Media fuse, this fuse appears to be constant live and after sitting in the car for 20mins does not appear to go into sleep mode but voltage monitoring seems to stop me from...

Many thanks for your reply
Yes I am very conversant using multimeter and do have all the trim tools, just want to make the right choice when I purchase

I installed this into my Niro Aukey Dual dash cam £109 from Amazon, as I wanted front & rear cams. Took less than 2 hours.

Prior to this we had/have Transcend 16GB £119 from Amazon Drive pro 200 in Stonic & still in Picanto.
