Thinkware Dash Cams are easy to setup and use devices that deliver a wide range of benefits. Many people are aware that they could use the captured footage from a dash cam to help establish their innocence if they get into accident. However, they may not be aware of some of the other amazing benefits dash cams offer. You’ll find out for yourself how great these are if you read the information below before entering this contest. And if you enter this contest, you might win one of eight new Thinkware dash cams.

Thinkware dash cams are easy to use

I’ve sent Thinkware dash cams to various writers and there are a few commonalities across these reviews. First of all, they all found the installation and set up of the device extremely simple. For example, Dave Neufeld wrote, “Getting up and running with the Thinkware F70 Dashcam could scarcely be much easier.” In her review, Shelly Wutke said, “… it couldn’t have been easier.” Matt Paligaru explains how easy it is to install the front camera of the F200 he was sent then stated, “Installing the rear camera is just as easy.” And, after testing the F800 Brad Moon stated, “First up, installation of the dash cam was easy.”

See a pattern here? Multiple different independent reviewers, using different Thinkware dash cam models, all found that these are easy to set up. Furthermore, they all had no issues with using them as intended.

Why would you want a dash cam

Another commonality across all of these reviewers was what they saw as an important reason to get a dashcam: insurance claims. No one likes to be falsely accused of causing an accident. Dash cam footage has been used by many people to prove their innocence when the evidence was unclear or especially when the other party in the accident was not honest. Dash cam footage has also been used to help people get out of traffic tickets issued erroneously. “I didn’t go through a red light, officer; and, I can prove it!”

If you have teenagers, then a dash cam is a great motivator for them to driver responsibly: everything will be recorded and reviewed when the car is returned. Speaking of reviewing footage: you can also do this after a week of driving to help self-diagnose bad habits and become a safer driver youself.

Of course, you are likely familiar with one other benefit: capturing amazing or shocking events. I live on a tiny island, where the deer outnumber people 3 to 1, so I would likely capture a ton of footage of deer crossing the road if I had one. But YouTube has many examples of people capturing really cool footage like fireballs and meteorites—all thanks to owning a dashcam.

  1. My favourite dash cam is the Thinkware U1000 4K UHD Dash Cam with Rear Camera & Wi-Fi. And I’d like to capture footage of an expert driver actually avoiding a serious accident and a happy ending for everyone.

  2. Q800PRO dashcam is extremely high end with awesome picture quality and the super night vision looks great as well.

  3. I like the Thinkware X700 Full HD 1080p Dash Cam & Rear Camera. Since it has high front and rear video resolution and has night vision too. It is very useful in case of accident specially hit and runs.

  8. The X700 or the F800 have features that I like. I would like to capture the bad and psycho drivers who almost intentionally cause serious highway accidents, thus protect myself/others.
    Ie. While driving posted highway speed, another psycho driver appeared in distance, very quickly n steadily coming up behind me, driving extreme highway speed, then passing, i slowed to let him pass, and CUT sharply right in front of me, jerking and jammed on his brakes, n almost complete stop, then started speeding off again…I immediately applied more braking force behind him…i thought, something in front of him? an animal or accident ahead (?)…No, this psycho driver just drove on speeding off again…this driver did this stupid action for NO reason at all. This was a Highway driving n speed limit incident that could have caused a serious accident. I didn’t get his Licence plate to report this.

  9. The Q800PRO would be ideal for my daily 1.5 hour commute. I would hardwire it and add the rear camera for full driving and parking confidence.

  11. I like the Thinkware F800 1080p Dashcam with Super Night Vision & WiFi. I like the night vision feature which would be great to capture detail evidence in case of an accident

  12. I like the Thinkware X700 Full HD 1080p Dash Cam & Rear Camera and would hope to capture a good video in case of an accident

  16. i think i would go for the F800.the price and easy install and use would be good for my price range. i like the night vision on it.

  17. I would love to try the F800. In the past few days I have had close calls with individuals try to drive into my vehicle.

  18. I would love to win the Q800 Pro. It has a night vision feature which would be handy when trying to video in low light.

  19. The thinkware f70 is good enough for me. It’s enough for protecting myself in the case of an accident

  20. They’re all great, but I think I like the Q800PRO best – it’s complete and full-featured. I especially like the built-in GPS antenna because I am usually lost!

  21. Really like the form factor in the Thinkware F800 1080p Dashcam with Super Night Vision & WiFi and the fact that it has excellent night vision capabilities.

    I would hope to pick up stray animals that suddenly dart in the road. great to prove to insurance that actually happened.

  22. I like the Thinkware Q800PRO 2K QHD 1440p Dash Cam with Rear Camera as it has GPS and we could use it when camping to see if anyone or any animal is around our tent.

  24. Thinkware Q800PRO 2K QHD 1440p Dash Cam with Rear Camera & Hardwiring Cable because it has a rear view and I can video any accidents associated with my vehicle

  25. I’d love to use the Thinkware F800 and try its Superior Night Vision technology for 24/7 recording and capturing footage of my travels to share.

  26. Thinkware Q800PRO Best Buy 5 Star Review rating is one reason for purchasing. The safety features it offers would upgrade my vehicle’s safety.

  27. Getting up and running with the Thinkware F70 Dashcam could scarcely be much easier. This will be a great tool for our rod trips and recording adventures.

  28. I have (and LOVE) the F70, but based on what I’ve read the F800 pro is the Cadillac version, so that’s gotta be my favourite!!

  29. I really like the X700. With having both a front and rear camera, plus lane departure alerts and collision warnings would provide for an enhanced and effective way of ensuring driving safely.

  31. The Thinkware Q800PRO is my choice. I trust the Best Buy 5 Star Review rating is one reason for purchasing. The safety features it offers would upgrade my vehicles safety systems. To have a clear recording of possible collision, parking lot damage, or vandalism would be Great. The recording could be invaluable in many legal challenges. A quality product.

  32. I would love the Q800 Pro dashcam for everyday use and to use when I travel. I love that it has excellent Night Vision as well.

  33. the q800 pro would be an awesome one to own , with that quality screen you would capture any idiot driver crashing into you

  34. The Q800Pro with WiFi would work. Living in a building with underground parking and little security such a camera would be invaluable to protect my vehicle from the bad guys. Also with so many poor drivers on the road a Dash Cam would assist in finding poor drivers.

  36. With a 4.5/5 star rating, the Thinkware F800 Full HD 1080p Dash Cam & Rear Camera with Wi-Fi & GPS would b my choice. The GPS would definitely be handy!!!

  41. Thinkware X700 is the one designed to prove that you are innocent in case of the road rage. Especially it is important for the icbc, I always see the posters “need witnesses”, which proves that one must have a dashcam.

  42. I’m in for the Thinkware Q800PRO 2K QHD 1440p Dash Cam with Rear Camera & Hardwiring Cable… I need front and back protection out there.

  46. I really like the X700. With having both a front and rear camera, plus lane departure alerts and collision warnings would provide for an enhanced and effective way of ensuring driving safely and being able to record incidents that may around me, like accidents, meteors falling, or the occasional UFO while in the countryside. I also love the GPS that tracks your speed, route history, and time, for enhanced safety and security.

  50. The Q8p0 pro sounds fabulous and would capture everything on the road I might miss and be essential in case of any accident
