Thinkware has finished the Q800 Pro with a soft-touch plastic which gives the camera a premium, well-made feel, while the lens housing is metal, cold to the touch, and rotates approximately 90 degrees with a satisfying movement. But we think the Q800 Pro’s design is subtle enough to be left in place at all times if you have it professionally installed and hide the cable neatly, it looks like it was fitted to your car at the factory. Once the mounting plate is stuck to your windscreen, the camera slides on and off relatively easily. The Q800 Pro has a large footprint compared to most dash cams, but its relatively low profile means it is subtle and neatly out of sight once fitted to the windscreen using the included 3M adhesive. (Image credit: Thinkware) Thinkware Q800 Pro review: Design Realistically, unless you drive a small two-seater you will want to have the rear camera professionally installed, so that the cable is hidden behind your car’s interior panels, or under the carpet. This is a great addition to have, but means running a cable through the entire length of your car from one camera to the other.

The secondary camera records 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second, so isn’t quite as sharp as the front camera, but is much smaller (56 x 23 x 28mm) and perfectly adequate for recording footage through the rear windscreen. The Q800 Pro we were provided for review came with an optional rear-facing camera, which increases the price from £249 to £329, and increases the included memory card from 16Gb to 32GB. We found 140-degrees with the Q800 Pro to be wide enough, but the camera’s large size means it can be difficult to mount it in the middle of the windscreen, especially if your car has a small windscreen and large housing below the rearview mirror for its lane departure warning camera.īut, so long as you have space to mount the camera high and centrally, it provides excellent video recordings during the day and night, with the latter aided by Thinkwave’s Super Night Vision 2.0.
