How we checked
All specs sourced from the official Thinkware global product page (thinkware.com/global/product/q1000) accessed 2026-07-07: the specifications table lists Resolution "2K QHD (2560X1440) @ 30 fps or FHD (1920×1080) @ 60 fps" (5.14 MP Sony STARVIS IMX335), Viewing Angle "156° (Diagonal)", GPS "Built-in", built-in Bluetooth & dual-band Wi-Fi, Parking Surveillance Mode (requires optional hardwiring/OBD-II cable), and "Supports MicroSD Cards up to 256 GB". The thedashcamstore.com single-lens retailer page (SKU TW-Q1000) corroborated the exact model: "Intended Coverage: Front Only" and "Number of Lenses: 1" (channels=1), "Built-in Screen: No" (display=blank), "GPS Position Logging: Yes, built-in", "WiFi: Yes", "Memory Card Type: MicroSD, 32/64/128/256gb", and priced the front-only unit at $299.99 list / $249.99 sale ("You save $50.00"). No release year is stated on either fetched page, so release date and specs.release are left blank rather than guessed. Adversarial re-fetch on 2026-07-08 confirmed every recorded spec value, the price, and release date verbatim; nothing required nulling.
