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.

  2. I like the Thinkware FA200 Full HD WiFi Dash Cam. I don’t need the models that come with the rear camera as my vehicle has one. This one fits behind the rear view mirror which is convenient. I would then hope to capture incidents with the camera that would help with dangerous or illegal driving and to help determine fault in accidents.

  3. I would love any of these….time to be safer out there. My choice would be the Thinkware Q800PRO 2K Dashcam.

  4. The Thinkware Q800PRO 2K Dashcam with Wi-Fi will be an awesome addition to my home and will provide years of security.

  5. Q800Pro with WiFi – would be helpful to capture episodes of road traffic errors for learning purposes for discussion within my family of new drivers.

  6. I have always wanted a dashcam. I felt that as a female driving to montreal visiting family it would be safer for me to record any incidents that happen. I like the Q800Pro as it instantly uploads to the cloud. So my family could see what is going on right away. On a side note, we just went to best buy yesterday to buy a new computer for my son and we were very impressed on how all staff was wearing masks and how the social distancing was handled! kudos to best buy RH!

  10. I would hope to capture activity around my car when I am stopped at a light. When in Toronto, there are sometime scammers looking to make a quick buck by lying about the fact that the driver hit them…when in fact they have thrown themselves at the car. Prove of what happened is imperative. As I age, I need prove. The dashcam would provide that.

  12. Q800Pro is my favourite and I would want to capture anything that might be helpful while parked or while driving

  13. I would love the Q800Pro and I would hope to capture anything of interest that might be intersting or helpful while driving

  14. The Thinkware Q800PRO would be my first choice. I like how it has the Optional Parking Surveillance Mode features – nothing more aggravating than returning to your car in a mall parking lot and finding a dent or scratch from a fail-to-remain idiot. And then there’s always capturing a UFO or meteorite while driving on the highway !!

    • I love the Q800 Pro for the optional parking surveillance mode. I would like to record all the things that are worthed.

  19. The Thinkware Q800 Pro Dashcam is the one I like the most. I like the time lapse feature in Parking Mode records in 2FPS for continuous surveillance coverage without increased power consumption. GLA

  21. The Dashcam Q800PRO is my favorite. I would like to capture footage of distracted and bad drivers around me.

  23. I like the Thinkware U1000, 4K all day. I hope to capture nothing, absolutely nothing extraordinary.

  25. Q800Pro is my choice. We have had some situations where we have been close to being hit and with a dashcam we could show it was not our fault. As for what we would like to record, we were in Newfoundland and missed out on recording a moose.

  26. The Thinkware Q800PRO 2K Dashcam with Wi-Fi with the optional rearview camera is my pick. I just want it for insurance for recording what may never happen. Smile Please and thanks

  27. The Thinkware Q800 Pro Dashcam is the one I like the most. The options I like about it are the GPS & ADS technology and quality of the video footage. It also works in our cold winter temperatures.

  28. Dashcam would be great in case of an insurance claim dispute. The evidence is right there. Dashcam Q800PRO is my favourite and the footage would be amazing.

  29. I would choose the Q800Pro just in case of a collision… I honestly would not mind any of the models. I have been wanting a dash came since I got rear ended last year

    Thanks for the chance

  30. The Thinkware U1000 4K UHD Dash Cam with Rear Camera & Wi-Fi to have evidence in case of accidents

  31. I like that the Q800 Pro has 2k! I would use it to feel more safe while driving knowing that I would be recording any accidents that might happen!

  33. Thinkware U1000 4K UHD Dash Cam with Rear Camera & Wi-Fi is my favorite and I hope to capture recording of happenings that need verification of details.

  35. I’d love to have a dashcam. I drive around the city regularly and would be able to film how others around me drive and turn that into Youtube videos for sure!! Would definitely be able to share once completed. The Thinkware dashcams are the best ones based on what I’ve heard.

  36. I like the Thinkware Q800PRO 2K QHD 1440p Dash Cam with Rear Camera & Hardwiring Cable because we have a soon to be new driver in the house. I think it will help us to know what is happening when she is driving by herself in a few months.

  37. I like the Q800PRO I like that it has 2K quality. There are instances when driving that sometimes you just want to have recorded, like an accident or just something random, this camera has front and rear camera so you will never miss a thing.

  40. I would go for Thinkware U1000 4K UHD Dash Cam with Rear Camera & Wi-Fi to catch footage of my driving, nature, live beauty of roads, people.

  42. Thinkware F800 Full HD 1080p Dash Cam & Rear Camera with Wi-Fi & GPS is my favourite, though any of them would be awesome! I’d love to have it to record the wonderful scenery on road trips! Thanks for the chance!

  44. My favorite would definitely be the Q800 Pro! The image quality would give me peace of mind compared to other dashcams on the market. Tons of features with the Q800 Pro too!

  45. I’d give the Q800Pro to my son who lives in the North so that he could keep tabs on all the wilderness creatures he encounters.

  46. The Q800Pro would be my first choice. Unfortunately, I would want to use it to record the all too frequent impaired or distracted drivers I often encounter on my commute.

  47. The Q800Pro is my favourite. If I won one of these dash cams, I’d hope to capture proof in case a collision occurred.

  48. TheF800 is the Dashcm for me, becauseit has wifiand super night vision. I could film any accident day or night

  49. The cloud features and high resolution video that the Q800Pro provides make it my top pick. I don’t run into too many accidents, so it’ll be nice to record all the road trips I have in the future!
