I’ve wired in a few now (in fact I just replaced my trusty old BlackVue a few weeks back when it finally met its maker), and to be honest it really is something you can do yourself if you’re so inclined.
Half the challenge is finding good sources of accessory-switched and permanent 12v power, preferably around the fuse box (please make sure everything is fused!). A plastic trim removal kit is handy but probably not essential depending on the car.
Just be sure to run any rear camera cabling through the car at floor level under the scuff plates/trim and not up high to avoid interfering with any curtain airbags that may be lurking.
The first one I ever did took a couple of hours. Latest replacement I did was about 30 minutes, but I was able to re-use the rear camera cable run because I stuck with the same brand and style of camera.
