#Dashcam

If you’re not a car person, and you want gifts for car lovers, you might head over to Amazon’s “Most Wished For” automotive products and find what looks like a random mix of great and terrible gift ideas, without any way of telling which one is which. That’s one of the main reasons we’ve spent the last 12 months evaluating, purchasing, and testing automotive parts and accessories, sometimes for months, figuring out which one are worth your money ( and which ones aren’t).

We’ve been covering dash cams for several years, and we still find the market confusing. There are familiar name brands like Nextbase alongside fly-by-night companies that might disappear at any time; and nearly identical rebranded commodity products with just enough good reviews to make a brief appearance in searches. In fact, from updating our Buyer’s Guide for the last four years, we’d say that about 40% of the brands-you-never-heard-of last less than a year, which is not good news for anyone making a warranty claim or looking for customer service.

Dash cams have become extremely popular in recent years, allowing you to record footage while you’re driving. These devices have proved helpful in situations where an accident occurs, automatically storing a video that you can replay to see all the events leading up to the collision. The latest offering from THINKWARE is the Q800 PRO dash cam, featuring 1440p video recording, compared to the most standard 1080p quality. In this article, we’ll take a look at this new dash cam and its features to help determine if it’s the right dash cam for you.

Dashboard cameras, or dash cams, are not new in the automotive world.
