Top-tier video, reliable evidence, but app struggles.

This is the answer. I have a Thinkware dash cam with the OBD2 wiring. Easy to install and the wires are easy to hide.
Hey. One of my co-workers recommended it to me and he showed me some of the footage and its a solid product. I bought the ThinkWare Q800 for $350 based on this subreddit recommendation. I think it's a waste of money honestly the quality is the same but I don't know anything about how long these products last and warranty and all that. As for as the video goes, if an incident happens, best thing to do is still say the license number out loud and let the dash pick up the audio, in most cases, either due to the speed or whatever the plate is not always clear. A lot of guys here are dashcam enthusiasts so they might see something that we really don't even care about but I honestly won't buy any of the higher-end recommended items. That's just me.
My Thinkware Q800 Pro has lasted 5+ Winnipeg winters. Zero issues too
I have an older thinkware q800 pro and love mine.
I have a Thinkware q800 front and back in my car. It’s a bit more expensive but I’ve had no issues with it. Think it’s been over 5 years now on the same sd card. The fam itself is slick enough to be out of the way under the mirror
i've been using the thinkware q800 for about a year now and it's been super reliable even in crazy hot weather! definitely worth checking out if you're tired of the whole randomly not working thing.
