THINKWARE - Q800 PRO Dash Cam - Black/Blue

So I actually brought the Thinkware F800 got it installed and everything, the next day is wasn't working. Took it back to Best Buy, found out I had a defective unit. The only one that had was the Q800 Pro, I love it much better than the F800. The Q800 Pro has 2k video what's not to love.

This was a replacement for the F800 that I had bought which unfortunately was less then a year old , luckily I bought the geek squad warranty which paid for the new one just had to purchase a new warranty for the q800. So far it’s been good and no problems. I would say try buying a better dash then buying one of the cheaper ones if you can afford it. Also I would recommend because of the cost of the dash cam to purchase the geek squad warranty.

Love this camera! It sits perfectly undetected on my windshield. Its sleek design is unnoticeable to anyone outside. Set up is easy. Downloading recordings to your phone is a snap. Picture quality is really good however there is a slight grey area. The picture quality deminishes a bit depending on the time of day. I noticed it during late evening hours when it's not dark yet but the sun is gone. Doesn't really bother me. I bought it while it was on sale so the price was perfect.

I like the unit. Once installed behind the mirror it's invisible for the driver. That's a plus. It doesn't have a video screen which can be viewed as either a negative or positive. Since I don't plan to watch the video while driving it's not an issue. You have to use your phone to view any video or pull out the SD card. Negative: the voice commands/notices come to often and become annoying. I turned off the volume to the voice so it's no longer an issue.

Camera records good video. Software will not let it connect to my truck's built in hotspot. It will only connect through my phone and that interferes with Android Mobile Navigation. So I have to connect it to a small tablet to see live video. I hope they upgrade to networking so that the cloud connections can be made.

Have the F800 on one vehicle and the Q800 on the other. Higher resolution with the F800 and it comes with a standard 12v adapter as well as a direct connect adapter for setting up camera(s) for parking mode. Great resolution both day and night. Same issue with app. Use with the usb adapter provided and a computer

I really like this dashcam. Plenty of great features and very slimline. You don't have a screen but you can easily view and download onto your phone. I am really interested in trying out the optional rearview camera when I get one. We love the added security this affords us when driving. I actually purchased a second one for my wife.

The camera is good, installation was simple, I did not install directly to the battery until I test for for a longer period of time. I run into issues with WiFi connection, this is not necessarily due to the camera but it should be advertised as a warning. I use Apple car play with my phone and if I connect to the camera, CarPlay is disconnected. This basically makes the wireless feature useless for me. I am keeping the camera hoping that a future software update resolves the issue. Sometimes the image appears overexposed, planning to play with the settings and see if this can be fixed. But again, with the WiFi issue getting to the settings is challenging. I believe the return on investment is right at the edge of going negative for me, this is considering the price tag on this camera. The image is not bad, make sure to clean your windshield and do something to deal with dashboard reflection on the windshield.
