Looking to find a good dashcam installer for my dad to get his Viofo A129 Plus Duo installed in his Volvo XC60. Anyone have any good experiences in Brisbane that you can recommend?

Just do it yourself.
There are some links to handy tips to do this on this site from a few weeks ago.

If you do it yourself, this will help remove the plastic moulding/trims etc.
It comes with a trim remover tool?
Had Auto One (NSW) install a Blackvue in the wife's car and I installed a Viofo into my car (Mazda 6)
After some online research (Youtube videos and forums) the Viofo was pretty easy to install, even with connecting it to the fuse box for constant power. Also easy enough to run and hide all the cablesOn the plus side my placement of my camera was better than the installers - they installed the front camera too high so when it rains the camera is obscured by the water droplets that the wipers don't get to.
Spending $200-300 for an installer to install a $99 dashcam doesn't feel very OzB'y
Very lucky to get this one for $99
Probably best to look at fiver or airtasker and check the reviews. Probably looking at two or three hundred if doing hardwire kit.
If it's just a usb powered install, I'd recommend DIY and check youtube tutorials.
