About the Thinkware Q850 1CH
From our tech experts at CEN
A Thinkware dash cam recording in 2K.
Who it suits
Drivers who want evidence if something happens, which in practice means anyone who drives for work, carries passengers or parks on the street. Thinkware cameras are discreet, sitting close to the glass where they are hard to see from outside.
Our tech experts advise
Hardwire it if you want parking mode, because the 12V socket dies with the ignition, and use a high-endurance memory card since ordinary cards fail under constant rewriting. We fit dash cams from £60 at our Beeston workshop. See dash cam installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What SD card do I need for this dash cam?
A: Use a high-endurance microSD card designed for continuous recording. Standard cards wear out quickly in dash cams. CEN stocks suitable high-endurance cards, and the maximum supported capacity is listed in the Specification tab.
Q: Does this dash cam record while the car is parked?
A: Parking mode is listed in the Specification tab. Where supported, it requires constant power from either a hardwire kit or a dedicated dash cam battery pack, both of which CEN stocks.
Q: Do I need to hardwire the dash cam?
A: Not necessarily. All dash cams work from the 12V socket for drive recording. Hardwiring hides the cabling and enables parking mode, and CEN offers professional hardwire installation from our Nottingham premises.
Q: Will the footage be accepted by my insurer or the police?
A: Dash cam footage is widely used in insurance claims and can be submitted to most UK police forces through their online portals. Recording quality matters, so check the resolution in the Specification tab.
Q: Front only or front and rear - which should I choose?
A: A front camera covers the most common claim scenarios. A two-channel system adds rear coverage for rear-end collisions and tailgating evidence, which is where many disputed claims arise. Three-channel systems add an interior view, suited to taxi and fleet use.
Q: What resolution does the Thinkware Q850 record at?
A: The Q850 records QHD 2560 x 1440 at 30fps by default, with a Full HD 1920 x 1080 at 60fps option, using H.265 compression.
Q: Does the Thinkware Q850 have GPS and Wi-Fi?
A: Yes. GPS is built in, along with dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and Bluetooth for pairing with the Thinkware Link app.
Q: What is included with the Thinkware Q850?
A: The dash cam, a 12V hardwire cable, a 32GB microSD card, spare 3M mounting tape and a QR code manual. The plug and play 12V power cable is sold separately.
