THINKWAREQ1000 QHD Dash cam Front and Rear, Built-in Wi-Fi GPS, STARVIS Night Vision, 24H Parking Mode, Sensor, G-Sensor, HDR, 156° Wide Angle, Free 32GB Card

I was in the market to upgrade my Garmin Mini dash cam to a more sophisticated two-channel system. So far, I am very satisfied! The cameras were easy to install, and the front cam mounts well behind the rearview mirror and is relatively hidden. The video quality is as expected and I have not had any issues with reliability. The app does suck, but all dash cam apps do. I don't mind popping out the SIM card if I want to pull footage. I was a little surprised to find that the only power cord other than the hardwire kit is for a 12v cigarette lighter. I wanted to plug it into a USB. I worked around this with a 12v to USB-A adapter on Amazon.

Personally, I feel a lot safer driving now that I have this dash cam. As too many people can attest to, it seems like no matter where you go the drivers are just absolutely out of their minds. Knowing I have video proof that should I get into an accident, it wasn't my fault, or that if at some time I get into a hit-and-run, I'll have the offender's plates! Directly wiring this into my car was easy, connecting by the app was simple, and I feel better knowing the status of my car each time I get in the vehicle.

When I first purchased this, I was beyond pissed because I couldn't get my phone to pair to the camera. Spent over 3 hours in my car trying to pair. Updated firmware to the latest version via SD card. Worked flawlessly and zero connection problems. Camera quality is very good even in somewhat lower lighting. Good features on the app for setting up power saving/record triggering as well. My only complaint is that I'd rather it not speak to me every single time I start my car. A simple beep or tone to let me know it's recording would be nicer.

Didn't think it would match but it did.

I have to unplug my CarPlay adapter to get this cam to communicate. Tried to download several videos tonight and despite the app saying they downloaded, they were not in my Gallery. Tried to remove the memory card and it wound up breaking, now I can't get a card in or out. Hopefully TW will make it right or $250 down the drain. Good video quality but typical junk user experience as common with most dash cams. Very clunky, poorly developed firmware and phone apps. Very disappointed for a dash cam at this price point. I only expect two things from a dash cam... 1: record 2: download. Shouldn't be that difficult in 2023.

The media could not be loaded. This item is beyond simple marvelous. I was able to set it up in no time without any elbow grease and finger pains. I slapped it on to the windshield and it has done well since then. Nice wide field of view with clarity both day and night. I do like the heat block pad the shelters it somewhat from the direct pelting summer sun. I’ve had no issues. I flirted with upgrading to the $550 bigger brother but I think it is an over kill. This does enough. Much more than you could ever imagine at less than half the price of the higher model. Get yours today.

Terrible app and even worse product. I went in to the app to find footage one day and noticed the timestamps were all over the place. Some were dated year 2084 and beyond. I've come to realize, the unit cannot keep time and everytime the dashcam is booted, the date and time changes to some date way into the future. This is makes it very difficult to find the correct footage based on date and time. I emailed customer support and jumped through all the hoops as they wanted and in the end all they can say is that they've tried everything they could and I'm SOL because the warranty expired a few months ago. DO NOT PURCHASE.

After finally figuring out both of the applications required to use this system, I finally got things up and running properly. There is no way to use this without both of the applications.As far as the camera system is concerned, it’s awesome. Video is crystal clear. Even at night. The rear camera is just as good as the front camera. The actual installation is easy. No difficulty at all. I had a Garmin DC57 before this, and it doesn’t even compare.Just be patient the first few times trying to get everything synced up and online. It’s well worth the time and effort.If you want the peace of mind that comes with a dependable drive recording system, this can’t be beat for the money.
