Thinkware - Q200

haven’t seen it mentioned here yet but I just got the Thinkware Q20 (2 channel). its super affordable, installation was easy, and i also got the OBD power cord so it can record even when the car is off (when the sensor is triggered).

Whatever you pick, I’d recommend against a camera that dangles off a mount unless it’s very small. I tried a Thinkware Q200 but I had to take it off immediately bc the Tacoma windshield is so small, it distracted my view no matter where I tried mounting it. I got a Viofo A229 instead and like another commenter, I mounted it in the black dot area of the windshield next to the mirror and I hardly notice it.

I have the Thinkware q200 front and back. It works fine. $170

ThinkWare q200. The exact one Ford sells on their accessories site is sold by the manufacturer and Bestbuy for like $150-170.

Thinkware Q200 is one of the better options for quality in your budget, and has built in voltage monitoring to allow you to ensure battery health.

I just got a think ware q200 from [blackboxmycar.com](http://blackboxmycar.com) , it took an afternoon to install myself. Super happy with it. This website also has great reviews of different systems.

Based on a bunch of Reddit responses, I came to the conclusion that Viofo has too many mixed reviews for me to consider them. Blackvue came up often in my research, but none of their products are offered at Best Buy, and I want them to do the professional installation for me. So I bought the Thinkware Q200 at Best Buy yesterday, just in time before the sale ended today. The installation will be done next week once I receive all the accessories for the dash cam, so I can report back after that

i went down the dashcam rabbit hole a while back. r/Dashcam is *super helpful.* check their rec’s in the sidebar. i’m in the south, so i settled on a Thinkware (rec’d for hot climates) Q200. a front and rear cam kit is on sale on their site for $170. Best Buy sells them, and installs them. but on my 2011 Foz installation was a 15min job. just pushed the cable up into / behind the trim plastic. might be more of a PITA with EyeSight models.

just installed a Q200 in my 2011 yesterday. took all of 30mins. used an OBDii connector for power, but wiring it to the fuse box looks like as easy. Thinkware makes quality cams and has a bunch on sale right now, direct from their site. i just pushed the wiring up and along the trim. easy peasy.

I have a thinkware from bestbuy in my explorer. It has a front and rear camera (rear cam unfortunately connects with a long aux cable that comes with it. It has the option to be hard wired or cigarette lighter powered. Has an SD card. Impact detection. 2k front camp 1080p rear and nightvision. The new modules have GPS. They're about 200$ but I've had no complaints other than on cold days the programmed voice that plays when the cam turns on sounds like it's under water but then goes back to normal after the camera warms up in the sun.

I got the bottom left dual channel Thinkware with GPS receiver from Best Buy for 129.99 on sale. Install wasn't in a Colorado but a 2010 Tahoe and once I found some unused pins to hardwire to, running the wires was a piece of cake. From the driver's seat, you cannot see the front dash cam or wires as it's tucked up in front of the the rear view mirror with wires running behind the covering that hides the auto dimming/compass wiring.

I have been running a thinkware front and back combo for over 5 years now with no issues. It even saved me in court once after an idiot crashed into me and lied about it.
