Overview
Parking protection for cars that get driven every day: the Thinkware Q850 2K kit paired with the compact iVolt Mini battery — a full day and night of parking coverage, recharged in about 45 minutes of driving, with zero drain on your car battery.
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 Mini battery | Compact LiFePO4 parking battery — up to 20 hours per charge, refilled in ~45 minutes of driving |
One box, one install, no flat-battery risk.
Who it's for
Daily drivers: commuters, school-run cars and apartment dwellers whose car sits on the street overnight but gets driven most days. The Mini's fast recharge is the key — a normal commute refills it completely, so the parking watch starts fresh every night.
- Daily commuters
- Overnight street parking
- School-run & shopping-centre cars
- Set-and-forget protection
Parked for days at a time, or driving an EV? Step up to the Q850 + iVolt Max bundle for weeks of coverage and app monitoring.
Why these two belong together
The Q850's parking modes keep watch while you're away, and because the camera runs off the iVolt Mini's own cells, your car battery is never touched. The Mini's 57.6Wh comfortably covers an overnight park.
Recharge is the Mini's party trick: roughly 45 minutes of driving refills it from flat. For a car driven daily, that's effectively unlimited parking protection.
Installation
How it goes in: the iVolt Mini charges from the fuse box while you drive (fuse taps included), and the Q850's included hardwire kit connects to the battery rather than the car. An auto electrician makes it one tidy visit — see our installation page.
Parking protection by the numbers
| Mode | Approx. runtime on iVolt Mini |
|---|---|
| 1-channel parking mode | Up to 20 hours |
| 2-channel parking mode | ~16 hours |
| Recharge time (while driving) | ~45 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 Mini battery with hardwire charging cable, output cable, fuse taps and velcro mounting tape.
Frequently asked questions
Is everything I need included?
Yes — the Q850 kit ships with its hardwire kit and a 64GB card, and the iVolt Mini includes its charging hardware. Nothing else is required for a full parking-protection setup.
Is the Mini enough battery for parking mode?
For a car driven most days, yes — about 45 minutes of driving fully recharges the Mini, so it's ready for the next overnight park. If the car regularly sits for days (airports, EVs, storage), choose the iVolt Max bundle instead.
Will it drain my car battery?
No. The camera runs entirely off the iVolt Mini 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, and fuse taps are included. Most customers have an auto electrician fit camera + battery kits in one visit.
What warranty applies?
The Q850 carries a 3-year Australian warranty via TDJ Australia and the iVolt Mini a 12-month warranty — both on genuine Australian stock, plus your Australian Consumer Law rights.
