EXCELLENT
The Thinkware X1000 dash cam is from a brand that knows its stuff when it comes to capturing video on the go. Take a peek inside the box and you’ll find everything you need: two cameras — afront–facing unit, and a smaller rear–facing model — which are well put together. You also get the cabling needed to carry out the hard–wiring installation, which keeps cabling tucked out of harm’s way. Alternatively, if you get Thinkware’s Dash Cam Accessory pack, the X1000 can be plugged into your car via the power socket. Usefully, Thinkware also supplies the X1000 with a chunky 32GB microSD card, or you can add a larger capacity one, if you prefer. Getting the camera set up and running can be done using the 3.5–inch touchscreen on the back. There are also the various sticky pads needed to affix the cameras to your preferred surfaces. The quick start guide, meanwhile, proves useful as you’re navigating the installation procedure, though it could do with being more comprehensive. You also get a robust plastic mount for the main camera, which helps to keep it from moving around too much, once it’s in place.
