Hey, guys.
I just got this flagship dash cam for my girlfriend. Video quality seems good. But there are two issues I am not quite happy with.
1. ADAS: I only need the front collision warning both on highway speed and local speed. But neither of them works. There is a horizontal and a vertical alignment guide in the live view. I put the camera off the center towards the driver a little bit. So the vertical line is not accurately aligned to the center of the hood. The Horizontal line only off by a little bit with the hood front but not much. Sensitivity is set at high. Using my iPhone 62, App version 1.2.2 Thinkware Cloud.
My question is: doesn't any owner of F800 Pro get the front collision function work? Is it a software issue which might get fixed with a future software update? Or do I have to accurately align my dash cam with the guidelines in live view?
2. Hotspot or Wifi connection.
I was able to connect the dash cam with hotspot and wifi. But I have to tap into the app and select connection. The other issue is when I am setting the dash cam, it's not recording.
The idea case I wish is that my cell phone can automatically connect to dashcam through the hotspot when I got into the car without opening the app. It would stay connected but won't affect the recording of the dashcam. Meanwhile, I can still use my LTE network to do navigation staff. If there is an accident during the parking and driving, the app would push notification to my cellphone app so I can check it out. Otherwise, I don't need to pay attention to the dash cam.
Does anyone know whether the ideal case I mentioned above is achievable?
Thanks
