Lamborghini has always been spectacular, and this Aventador is no exception. We had the pleasure recently of installing a dash cam system into a gorgeous Lamborghini Aventador, complete with Cloud connectivity, parking surveillance, and 2K QHD resolution. The car attracted a crowd in our Install Centre.
We installed the Thinkware Q800PRO into this raging bull.
The Thinkware Q800PRO is an award-winning dash cam with a 5.14MP Sony STARVIS image sensor to deliver 2K QHD video quality, advanced night vision, and a wide range of Cloud and safety features.
Step 1: Mount the Q800PRO front camera
We installed the Thinkware Q800PRO into this raging bull.
In most cases, the perfect area to mount a dash cam is behind the rearview mirror because it hides the dash cam from the driver's view to avoid any obstruction while driving.
You also want to check how far the wiper goes because if you mount the front-facing camera above the wiper's reach, it will not have a clear vision. You don't want to have your dash cams installed in an area outside of the range of your windshield wiper coverage, or on a rainy or snowy day, the camera lens will not be able to capture video.
Next, clean the windshield from the inside of the car to ensure the camera sticks properly and to clean off any marks or smears that might affect the video quality of your footage.
