REQUEST A DASH CAMERA ESTIMATE
Dash cameras have moved from being an option to a necessity in today’s world. Unfortunately, the days when someone damages your vehicle and leaves a note under your wiper with an apology and contact information are gone. The good news is that a quality dash camera can record most incidents as they happen and prove the other party was at fault. Video footage can also prove your innocence when you were not in the wrong and the other party isn’t being truthful.
Let’s explore some important things to consider when buying a dash camera.
Professional Installation
First, you’ll want the camera professionally installed. Better models require the lens to be properly calibrated or aimed for the best field of view. Placement in the vehicle is also important. Finally, you want the wiring hidden from view and properly connected to integrate it into the vehicle’s complex electrical system.
Buy from the Experts
Second, you should seriously consider where you will buy a dash camera. Can you speak to a human for advice on the model that best fits your unique needs? Will a live person provide technical support after the sale? If the camera uses an app to control it, can someone help you understand those features and demonstrate them? Finally, will they be there for you if something malfunctions?
Our team will be here for all of the above items and will sit in your vehicle with you after the install is completed. We’ll happily walk you through the camera’s operation and answer any questions, whether it’s the day you made the purchase or six months later.
High-Quality Solutions
Third, make sure you buy a high-quality dash camera. The video will be useless if you can’t see everything clearly, or worse, if it didn’t record because something went wrong. This isn’t a category to save money on, because it will likely come back to bite you.
So let’s explore the four different models offered by us:
Thinkware U3000 PRO
The Thinkware U3000 PRO is the flagship product from the long-standing leader in the dash camera category. You get Sony Starvis 2 4K front and 2K rear image sensors. It features Super Night Vision 4.0, Thinkware’s best software for accurate nighttime viewing. The system uses radar to sense motion near the cameras when the ignition is off, so it draws much less current and can record for much longer periods while the vehicle is parked. You control the camera through the easy-to-navigate Thinkware app on your smartphone. The optional LTE module provides on-the-go connectivity, letting your smartphone receive alerts, view the video feed or access driving data remotely. If you want the best, this is it.
Thinkware U1000 Pro
This model has a 4K resolution front camera and a 2K rear camera and uses premium Sony Starvis image sensors. It uses Super Night Vision 3.0 software, the second-best option available. Radar motion detection is an option. The unit features voltage monitoring to shut off the camera before the vehicle battery gets too low to start the engine. It also uses the Thinkware app for control over the unit. This would be the second-best model on the market.
Thinkware Q850 PRO
The Q850 Pro is the best-value camera system on the market. It has 2K resolution front and rear image sensors with High Dynamic Range (HDR) recording. It still has night vision technology but has moved down to Super Night Vision 2.0. It also uses an app for control and monitors battery voltage while recording when parked.
Thinkware Q200 Pro
The Q200 Pro is our most affordable dash camera solution. It features 2K front and HD rear image sensors from OmniVision. It includes Super Night Vision 2.0, and the sensors record in Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). You can use the Thinkware app on your smartphone to download videos.
