Q200 Car Camera Review I recently installed the Q200 car camera, and it has proven to be an exceptional addition to my vehicle. Here are the key aspects that make the Q200 a standout choice: Video Quality The Q200 offers impressive video quality, capturing footage in sharp 1080p resolution. The clarity of the recordings, both day and night, ensures that every detail is visible, which is crucial for any dash cam. The wide dynamic range (WDR) technology helps in balancing light and dark areas, providing clear videos even in challenging lighting conditions. Design and Build The camera features a compact and unobtrusive design, making it easy to install without obstructing your view. The build quality is solid, and the materials used feel durable, promising long-term reliability. The sleek design also blends seamlessly with the car’s interior, avoiding any distractions while driving. Performance One of the most impressive aspects of the Q200 is its reliable performance. The camera starts recording automatically when the car is turned on and has a seamless loop recording feature that ensures you never miss a moment. The motion detection and parking mode are excellent for added security, capturing footage even when the car is parked and the engine is off. Features The Q200 is packed with useful features. The GPS logging records your driving route and speed, which can be crucial in case of an accident or dispute. The built-in Wi-Fi allows for easy transfer of footage to your smartphone via the companion app, making it simple to review and share videos. The camera also supports a wide-angle lens, providing a broader view of the road. Ease of Use Setting up the Q200 is straightforward, thanks to the user-friendly interface and clear instructions. The included mount and cables are of good quality, ensuring a secure and tidy installation. Navigating through the menu and settings is intuitive, and the large display screen makes it easy to view and manage recordings directly on the device. Overall, the Q200 car camera is an outstanding choice for anyone looking to enhance their vehicle’s security and capture high-quality footage. Its excellent video quality, robust performance, and range of features make it a valuable addition to any car. Highly recommended for both everyday drivers and those looking for extra peace of mind on the road.

Just about 360 protection for your vehicle
E85STI Posted 4 years ago
This camera comes with everything you need to help protect your car. MPH display and parking mode are my fav. I can see what’s going on behind me and I’m front. The quality of the video is pretty good but I wish they would include a cheap filter to try out for the back window because that camera has a lot of reflection in certain lighting. Overall it’s. A solid camera. There isn’t a way to change the amount of recording time so it goes by 60 seconds at a time.

Good all-in-one base package
Phillip Posted 2 years ago
Great all-in-one base package. It would be nice if there were more options to select from such as: 1. Cable type; instead of the provided car port and hard wire cables, I found myself needing only the OBD-II cable which I had to order separately 2. Including the polarized lens filters as an option (I also had to order these separate) 3. The option for an interior camera (this package only comes with a front and rear camera)

Good but not great
Raul91602 Posted 4 years ago
Good but not great is how I’d describe this Dashcam. Picture quality is excellent, set up is fairly easy, but the look of the device is klunky with 3 different wires sticking out of it - power, rear camera, and GPS.

Solid Dash Cam
Juancho Posted 3 years ago
You need an app to view your footage and inital connection via wifi is a little tedious since it may disconnect. Regardless solid camera. Easy installation with the right tools. Just wish it came with little more of the extra adhesives to make the perfect set up for rear dash

Parking mode KILLED my car battery after 1 week!!!
Jennnnyy Posted 3 years ago
Bought this dash cam for the parking mode feature. After 1 week of use, it drained my battery to the point a jump start was needed everytime i wanted to turn my car on. So in other words, you sacrifice your car battery life for parking mode. Smh.

Hello Jenny! We are sorry to hear that this has happened with your unit and vehicle. The camera should not be causing any battery drainage as we have a setting called Battery protection to prevent this. This may have happened due to the settings not being enabled or an issue with the cable connections. We would like to help fix this and go over all settings and connection aspects with you. Please contact our support team for further help at: [email protected] or by phone: at 1-844-865-9273.

Incorrect installation
DonB Posted 3 years ago
Disappointed because the back dash cameras was installed upside down. I pulled it off to turn it right side up and it ruined the double sided black pass used to secure it. I had to order more double sided tape pads. :(

Best Buy has poor quality control on returns.
Nick Posted 2 years ago
After spending some time researching dashcams, I settled on the Thinkware F200 Pro. I ordered it through the app as a store pickup since it was in-stock. When I picked it up, I found the box was in rough shape and had been opened. I checked the contents, and they appeared to all be there. I reluctantly took the dashcam with me. When i got home , I inspected it in more detail. It had clearly been used. the cable for the rear camera was gouged and had witnesses marks on the ends. The protective coverings on the cameras clearly had been reapplied. The camers were also dirty wth both fingerprints and gunk. I do want to note, I did order a new unit, not an Open Box! Now I have to make the 45 minute drive back to the store to return it. I certainly expected more out of Best Buy!

I’m pretty happy with this
Isabel Posted 3 years ago
Works great, except I would like a greater field of view and after it rains, make sure to wipe the back windshield so the camera’s vision isn’t distorted. I would’ve also liked remote viewing. You can only view recordings if you’re actually in the car to click the wifi button on the camera. Night vision is pretty good.

Don’t waste your time and money on it
MdeR Posted 3 years ago
Lots of things, I don’t know how I gonna explain all of these. It’s video and pictures quality is very poor whereas it’s 4K. I think it’s not even 1K. It’s disconnected with the very frequently even disconnected with Wi-Fi as well. Every time you need to connect with your phone and….. it’s horrible. Overall I am very disappointed with the Thinkware 200F pro. Here I am going to add a picture. This is highest quality.
