Thinkware dash cam contest at Best buyThinkware dash cams make driving safer for everyone. For most of us, driving is the riskiest thing we do every day. There are few things we can do to protect our loved ones who must take to the roads, for short or long drives, commuting, or even just shopping. Properly maintained vehicles is a basic necessity. Thinkware dash cams provide “next level” protection. Enter this contest and you might win either a Thinkware Q1000 or Thinkware X800 dash cam.

Should all cars come standard with a Thinkware dash cam

Seatbelts were legislated in Canada all the way back in the 1970s. Wearing a seatbelt is so commonplace, many of us can’t imagine driving without using one. Similarly, back up cameras are found in most vehicles now and not having one seems, well, just wrong. Both seatbelts and backup cameras met with resistance upon their introduction. Many people just didn’t want to put on a seatbelt. Similarly, some people felt that a back up camera was simply a crutch, ensuring that drivers didn’t learn proper technique when backing up. Yet here we are, in a better place with both technologies in use for the betterment of drivers everywhere. Driving is safer with seatbelt and backup camera tech.

I contend that dash cams are another tech that drivers and cars are safer with rather than without. And Thinkware dash cams come with a host of features to protect drivers and car owners. Once you have one, you don’t want to be without one again.

Thinkware dash cams do much more than just record the road ahead

In the movie “Next,” Nic Cage is able to protect people in danger with his gift to see a couple minutes into the future. A Thinkware dash cam is kind of doing that by capturing where your car will be in the near future. When things go wrong on the road, having that footage can make a huge difference in your life. It shows how other people reacted to a novel situation. Our memories are fallible; in moments of excitement our brains can mix up timelines, and even “remember” incorrectly. Dash cam evidence presented to the police or even to a judge (if a dispute gets that far) is indisputable.

There is a lot of information coming from a Thinkware dash cam and you can track it all in the app. This includes remote viewing of the cameras, GPS/speed detection, crash detection, impact detection while parked, and more. Imagine if your spouse is commuting to work … you can follow their progress and know if they get stopped for some reason. I was recently at a concert and my truck was broken into … I wish I had a dash cam to alert me!

  1. I have a really old dash cam that really needs an upgrade. The most important part of a dash cam’s features is being able to clearly pick up license plates, even at night, and timestamping the date onto the footage.

  2. I don’t have a dash cam but always wanted one to record my drive in case of any accidents, and also record when parked to record anyone trying to damage my car.

  3. I don’t have a dashcam currently. I like the idea that the device is looking a few seconds ahead to see where my car will be. Added safety is good.

  4. The rear view camera would be a great asset to help avoid accidents and also the camera would be great in the event of an accident to prove fault.

  5. I believe a dashcam should be standard in all vehicles. We are all subject to our own interpretation of events and a dashcam would weed out some bias or misrepresented conclusions.

  6. I don’t have one in my car but I think they are great, especially if there’s a camera in the front and the back – it could come in handy if an accident occurs

  7. i have yet to get a dash cam, but I know they are great for having a record in case of accidents, and as a witness viewpoint

  8. Our vehicle does have a dash cam, and the features, in my view, make them an essential tool for all drivers and car owners’ remote viewing, crash detection, as well as impact detection while parked.

  9. No dash cam yet but my 7 year old has wanted a dash cam ever since he saw someone’s possible bigfoot sighting via dashcam on Youtube. Maybe we’ll get lucky.

  10. When I watch Vancouver’s Worst Drivers and see everyone smashing into each other, I realize how much I need a dashcam

  11. I do not have a Dash Cam in my vehicle yet, but I do want one. I believe the most importnat feature would be capturing evidence of what is going on the road in front of me, as well as what is going on when it is parked.

  12. No, I don’t have a dash cam, they are a important tool these days to capture incidents on the road…good and bad!

  13. I live in Winnipeg! Snow for 4 months of the year means accidents are fairly common. I do not have a dash cam and this would be so great.

  14. Don`t have one but would like to get a system for both me and my partner, in case of accidents or break-ins.

  15. I don’t have one but think it would be a great thing to record an accident, for example. Good provide some important evidence.

  16. I currently own a dash cam (old model ) and the features I think make them a really important tool for drivers are: parking mode (so you can see hit & runs when you’re parked), microphone (so you can say a license plate number out loud if you witness a hit and run), and playback on your desktop or an app on your smartphone.

  17. I do not have a dashcam but am interested for having proof of any driving incidents, involving my car or others who need proof. GPS is a bonus!
