Just bought this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01HDNLYGK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Got the gps unit and a hardwire kit as well. Not a bad price for all 3, £80 in total. Picture quality is pretty good, easily read number plates, signs etc. Rear camera is only 480p but does the job.
Unit is very small and fits behind my rear view mirror.

Anyone know any software that I can use that wiould combine the front/rear camera with the GPS data?

Cheers

Thats a different model, and no rear camera. Wouldn't think there would bemuch of a difference though.

From memory (don't have the F750/app anymore) go to the app, go to the video you downloaded. Click the dots to the right of it, tell it to export.

It should then be exported to the phone itself ready for you to move it/send it somewhere.

unfortunately it only says "video info" or "delete"

Homer-Simpson · 6 Oct 2017 at 18:35

What phone do you have? Are you looking at the downloaded video under "Videos Downloaded"?

ShiWarrior · 6 Oct 2017 at 21:55

im looking under videos downloaded as its the only option highlighted that i can access

im on Android

AndyCr15 · 6 Oct 2017 at 21:57

If you've downloaded it to your phone, I would then open an Album app and look for a view folders option and look for one called Thinkware or similar.

ShiWarrior · 7 Oct 2017 at 15:29

ok thanks, ill hunt around on my phone

ViRuS2k · 8 Oct 2017 at 06:53

Well i just bought Thinkware f800 Pro + Rear Camera + Hard-wired

i hope its good as its my first ever dashcam...

Can anyone answer this for me if they have the same dash cam......
does the f800 pro have a external video cable so that i can plug it into my RNS 315 Vw Sirocco radio`s video output so that i can use reverse parking picture so that i get a picture on the screen of the f800 pro rear camera... or is that not possible...

cadmunkey · 8 Oct 2017 at 18:53

I have the Thinkware and its very good, the F800 is an improved version so I think you will be very happy with it. Cant answer your second query sorry.
Just installed the 2 channel F100 in the wifes car, very good for the money.

Any recommendations for a dashcam that attaches to the review mirror.
Something like to RAC 03 dashcam, but I dont want to spend more than £80..

cheers

boosfuk · 12 Oct 2017 at 07:35

Thinking of getting a Thinkware dashcam and I am confused about what voice prompts can be disabled as I really want a fit & forget. Ideally I would just like to hear the traffic safety warnings (and possibly parking messages) but not all the others. Can anybody with one confirm what can be enabled/disabled please? The manual says that some prompts can be disabled by turning the volume to zero. Thanks
