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!

Are you ready to install a Thinkware dash cam in your vehicle? Enter now and you might win one of these two premium models. Both of these models of dash cam were reviewed on the blog so check out the Q1000 review and the X800 review then return here and enter.

  2. We do not have dash cams and I think we need them, especially if there is an accident and an insurance claim

  5. I WOULD LOVE A CAM IN OUR CAR. WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE EVENTUALLY WE WERE FOUND AT NO FAULT – BUT IT TOOK SOME WORK – THERE WERE NOT WITNESSES. WITH A CAMERA – WE WOULD HAVE INSTANT PROOF.

  8. I don’t have one but have always wanted one. I like that it could alert me to break ins too! I drive to see my mom on the highway and I just think it’s a very important piece of technology to have. It will record everything. I would really love this.

  9. I do have a factory installed dashcam in my car – and it’s excellent to record everything as you drive (evidence in case of a collision – and maybe one day it’ll capture a UAP and it’ll go viral on YouTube !! 🙂

  11. I don’t have a dash cam but would love to have one to help anticipate and avoid potential accidents

  13. I already have one but it’s a cheap Papago. it gets the job done but the power cord blocks the memory card so it’s a whole process to get the card out, which makes it only when I know there’ sa clip on it i need for my YouTube channel about all the bad drivers in my area.

  18. I do not have a dash cam.The benefits to me, Night Vision 3.0 as well as providing clearer footage at night, notifications for speed traps, changes in speed limit, ,collision detection and 360 degree departure, collision warnings, and sending emergency alerts to my contact, and finally, impact notifications,collision/lane departure warnings. All these things are very important to my driver road safety.

  21. I do have a dash cam I put up and down every time I use my car. I think it should be standard that all cars have them
    built in. I did have an accident 6 months after I started using, Still waiting for the court case to use it. It is important that you get one because for me it was a he said, she said otherwise, and he lied.
    Camera does not lie. Features that are good are time, date stamps, GPS, good night vision and cord long enough to be hidden under car interior.

  26. I do not have a dash cam, but from watching dash cam footage, i know it can help with accident and insurance investigations along with police investigation if you were in the vicinity of any crime.

  27. I don’t have one in my car but i know how useful they are in case of an accident. We’ve watched many dash cam videos online that show you exactly what happened.

  34. I have an older vehicle so I don’t have a dash cam but I think the main feature that is great is the ability to see bad things happening whether you’re driving or if someone is breaking into your car. But night vision is a great feature for your own protection

  35. I don’t have a dash cam at the present time but I think it would be be an important addition to my car to report accidents and stay safe

  40. I don’t currently have a dash cam in my vehicle. It’s a very useful accessory because it can identify hit and run drivers even when you’re not in the vehicle.

  42. I don’t have a dash cam but I think one would be very helpful for saftey reasons and to have a good view of your surroundings

  43. We don’t have a dashcam in our car but a great feature would be to have a record of driving incidents and observations.

  47. I don’t have a dash cam yet – but I think it would be invaluable, especially if you were in an accident!

  49. I do not have a dash cam in my car as I’m pretty much a hermit who never goes out but after a close family members car was broken into, I’m contemplating it. Except one of the things stolen was….her dash cam
