You can alter the sensitivity for the G sensor’s incident capturing, and enable a parking mode so the cameras will record if they detect motion when your vehicle is stationary. You can set some voltage limits for this, so the F200 doesn’t drain your battery below a certain level. It’s also possible to enable or disable safety camera warnings (which require the optional GPS, of which more in the next section). Record your journeys in Full HD 1080p, saving them to the 16GB memory card (included, can be upgraded to 64GB) giving you a reliable witness in the event of an incident. The 140° wide-angle lens ensures you capture all the detail you need. Footage is recorded to a MicroSD card that can be removed and transferred to a PC or Mac using the memory card adaptor provided. No need to format the card manually as when the memory card is full old footage is automatically recorded over. The standard Rear Camera is easily installed onto the inside of the rear window and records any events which occur behind the vehicle. The External Rear View Camera is suitable for vehicles which don’t allow for an internal rear camera and also records footage of any incidents from the rear-view of the vehicle.

View M1 Details The F200 copes reasonably well with contrast and reproduces colours relatively accurately. However, high compression produces lots of artefacts, which have a negative impact on detail. This makes it quite hard to make out distinguishing features in the footage, such as any writing on vans or number plates. Dash cam manufacturers should really focus more attention on this area of their products, because it significantly reduces the usefulness of their offering. Why buy the Thinkware F200?

High-temperature protection system, the built-in thermal sensor will automatically turn off the F200 Pro to prevent overheating Safety Camera Alerts including speed camera, red light camera and mobile speed zones when connected to the optional GPS Antenna (GPSANT, sold separately) Flexibility is a key feature here, as the F200 Pro can be bought on its own as a single, front-facing camera. Or, you can buy it with a rear-facing camera too (which is the kit we’re reviewing here), and there’s also the option to add a GPS antenna to the bundle. As we said in the intro, this is a fairly compact dash cam, at least by Thinkware’s standards. It takes up more windscreen real estate than any member of the Garmin Dash Cam range, but we think it’s still satisfyingly compact.SpacerEnhance your SNAP-G experience with our accessories or try our SNAP-G Battery and Creator Bundles for a complete experience. One thing I couldn’t find in the app was any way to change the recording resolution or quality. So that specified 720p resolution option doesn’t appear to be available. Thinkware F200 – Optional extras

The daytime screen capture shown below was taken during a rather damp, though still bright day here in San Francisco. I mounted the camera on the dash this time for a more panoramic, street-level view. IDG Scottish Highlands - AB36-38, AB55-56, FK17-21, IV1-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-40, PH19-26, PH30-41, PH49-50 Built-in Wi-Fi and free Thinkware Dash Cam Link App to control and manage the dash cam via iOS or Android smartphoneFaulty products will be replaced as soon as we are able to verify the fault and ship another to you. The F200 Pro is compatible with various rear cameras, one of which can be selected as an optional extra. When paired with the optional GPS Antenna (GPSANT, sold separately), you will be able to access additional safety features from the dash cam. Not only will it record speed, time and location data; it also activates the Advanced Driving Alert System (ADAS) including Lane Departure (LDWS), Forward Collision (FCWS), Urban Forward Collision (uFCWS) and Front Vehicle Departure (FVDW). You will also receive Safety Camera Alerts for speed and red-light cameras. Incident – Active Impact Monitoring System will automatically store the video data ten seconds prior to and after a collision registered by the 3-axis G-Sensor

The app can be used to view a live feed from the camera, helping you position it just right, and the camera says aloud useful messages like “rear camera connected” to help with the setup process. The app is then used to view footage recorded by the camera (and the rear camera if you choose to install that too). Each file is named after the time and date it was recorded, and with a F or R to indicate whether it was shot by the front or rear camera. You don’t have to view and transfer footage this way, as popping the microSD card out works equally well. Housed in a sleek modern design, the THINKWARE F200 PRO captures 1080P Full HD resolution front and rear, producing clear footage to capture undeniable evidence! Supplied as a kit, the F200PD32 includes the front dash cam, rear cam, hard wire kit and 32GB Micro SD card.

There’s no monitor for adjusting settings or viewing video, but we prefer this approach as it makes for a more compact and less distracting product. Instead, the rear only has buttons for Wi-Fi and manual recording. If you are going away on holiday or leaving your vehicle for long periods of time then the F200 Pro Energy Saving Parking Recording mode can be used. This reduces power consumption by 1/3 and gives you 3x longer video recording than normal parking mode. When an impact is detected in this mode the camera records 20 seconds of footage after the impact.

View Action Cam Gimbal Details If you want to change any of the settings on the F200, you’ll first need to turn on its Wi-Fi and connect to it via your smartphone, and then load the Thinkware app. However, this doesn’t include a lot of extra options, other than being able to change the exposure for dark, middle and bright, independently for front and rear cameras.
