Overview
The Thinkware Q850 2K kit paired with the iVolt Max battery for up to 40 days of parking protection — with zero drain on your car battery. One box, one install, and no flat-battery risk while you're parked.
What's in this bundle
| Included | What it does |
|---|---|
| Thinkware Q850 (front + rear) | 2K QHD front + Full HD HDR rear with GPS, driver-assistance and safety-camera alerts — hardwire kit and 64GB card included |
| Thinkware iVolt Max battery | Dedicated LiFePO4 parking-mode battery — up to 40 days of surveillance, recharged in as little as 55 minutes of driving |
One box, one install, no flat-battery risk.
Who it's for
Anyone whose car spends its life parked where things happen to it: EV and hybrid owners (where hardwiring parking mode to the car battery is often off the table), airport and station commuters, apartment dwellers on street parking, and new-car owners who want set-and-forget protection from day one.
- EV & hybrid owners
- Street & airport parking
- New-car protection
- Set-and-forget parking mode
Car driven every day and only parked overnight? The Q850 + iVolt Mini bundle covers that for less.
Why these two belong together
The Q850's parking modes — motion, impact, time-lapse and energy-saving — keep watch while you're away, but hardwiring to the car battery only buys you hours before the voltage cut-off steps in. The iVolt Max turns that into weeks.
Just as important is what it doesn't touch: your car battery. Thinkware specifically recommends the iVolt Max for EVs and vehicles with smart alternators, where wiring a dash cam to the 12V battery is risky or can affect the vehicle's warranty. The camera runs off the battery pack; the pack charges only while you drive — refilled in as little as 55 minutes — and a Bluetooth app shows charge and temperature from your phone.
Installation
How it goes in: the iVolt Max installs at the fuse box (it charges while the ignition is on), and the Q850's included hardwire kit connects to the battery rather than the car. It's a tidy job for an auto electrician, and the result is completely invisible.
We recommend professional installation for battery + dash cam kits — see our installation page for how it works.
Parking protection by the numbers
| Mode | Approx. runtime on iVolt Max |
|---|---|
| Energy-saving surveillance | Up to 40 days |
| 2-channel motion-detect parking | ~27 hours |
| Recharge time (while driving) | As little as 55 minutes |
Runtimes are Thinkware's figures and vary with settings, temperature and how often recording is triggered.
What's in the box
Q850 front camera, Full HD rear camera, hardwire kit, 64GB microSD card, mounts, cable clips and quick-start guide — plus the iVolt Max battery pack with its fuse-box charging harness.
Frequently asked questions
Is everything I need included?
Yes — the Q850 kit ships with its hardwire kit and a 64GB card, and the iVolt Max includes its charging harness. Nothing else is required for a full parking-protection setup.
Why add a battery when the Q850 has a hardwire kit?
Hardwiring to the car battery gives you hours of parking mode before the voltage cut-off steps in. The iVolt Max gives you days to weeks — and in EVs and smart-alternator vehicles, it's the safe way to run parking mode at all.
Will it drain my car battery?
No. The camera runs entirely off the iVolt Max while parked; the battery only draws from the car while the engine is running, to recharge.
Can I install it myself?
Confident DIYers can — both connections are at the fuse box. Most customers have an auto electrician fit battery kits.
What warranty applies?
The Q850 carries a 3-year Australian warranty via TDJ Australia and the iVolt Max a 12-month warranty — both on genuine Australian stock, plus your Australian Consumer Law rights.
