Personally id rather the LCD display removed altogether, just because we have a separate box doesn't mean we want to fill that box with things we will not need when hidden out of sight. I get the idea but, if the idea is discreteness then having a bloomin great screen on display isnt going to be...

Timelapse IS parking mode. You have normal recording - Records whilst driving in full quality regardless of other settings. Parking mode - Timelapse - 1 FPS, lasts longer than motion if your on a busy street but can be a problem with moving objects being seen clearly Parking mode - Motion -...

1, it didn't work, after .15 they changed something in the firmware to prevent you from installing F770 firmware, at the same time they also prevent you from downgrading to a .15 firmware, I suspect they did this in full knowledge that it would stop people getting a free F770. try it and see if...

Hey, this site has nothing to do with thinkware and they are extremely unlikely to monitor users posts here, unless its my posts that circumvents their business model by offering free software upgrades!) Maddog here works for a distribution company for thinkware products and whilst he is here...

yeah that is just a regional number, just use your own regional versions, just be sure that you do not upgrade to anything newer that v.15 on the 750, you can then install the early F770 firmwares, once you get those you can update to the latest f770 firmware. I don't know if there are any...

unfortunately I highly doubt that they will. if there is one thing lacking from thinkware its their after sales support with firmware updates. in fact the only significant updates we have had recently was to prevent people from changing their F750 to an F770 ( they are identical) so rather than...

any attempt to upgrade from .24 750 firmware to the F770 firmware will fail, in fact it wont even attempt to install it, there is no risk to bricking it but you are screwed. you need to be on v15 or earlier to beable to upgrade to the F770. there is no way to factory reset it that we have...

you wont get anywhere near 10-13 days, it will probably stop after a day or two depending on weather. you see its not the current that it measures, the devices itself cant know what its drawing power from so cant know when its running low, instead it measures voltage droop, which can be...

I doubt that the 800 will work. its a completely new SoC and significantly faster than our F750/F770 hardware

a database would be cool and very helpful but would be epic in nature to create, unfortunately it isn't just by make, model and year, you also have revisions of hardware components and different classes of car not to mention that these all change depending where in the world you are from. For...

Strictly speaking we still have F750 devices so its best that it stays here, of course your more than welcome to post any info you want in the F770 forum. as to your car, I would suggest you go and buy a multi meter, doesn't need to be expensive, something like...

The reason why I suggested to upgrade to an older firmware first is that thinkware have done everything they can to prevent us from getting this upgrade, another simple solution for them to do would be to check the version before hand on the F770 firmware. in the futtue if you try and install it...

ok, different regions have different firmware upgrades so the version numbers look slight different, but the principle is the same, take the F770 firmware I linked to, rename it to F750, copy it on to the SD card and then insert in to the camera. for example, the F770 v.02 firmware is this in...

That's all very well and good when the car is turned on, but if the car is turned off, the car battery will not last long at all, what id like to see is a modular system to the camera, you could have modules which acts like Celink-B(only one that works), we can buy the tracking module, or...

I was wondering about that, sequentially the cards have the performance to record at a fast enough rate for a single file, even on an average spec'd card , however if you try and record 2 files at the same time there is a big performance penalty so if it were me, I would consider packaging the 2...

3840x2160 @ 10bpc RGB @30fps using h.264 4% compression is about 40MBps that's blue ray 50Mbps, I think that's unrealistic and they will be using a much high rate of compression the question is how much are they compressing it, even if we multiply the compression by x4, 4k will still be using...

I should have perhaps clarified what I meant by "very high" bit rates :) I wasn't thinking of 30-40 :D it would largely be wasted on dashcams and would be half what a bluray DVD uses!

If it can encode 2 x 4K streams at 30fps, then it surely must have the ability to handle 2 x 1080p streams. id expect 15-20 Mbps. h.264 doesn't typically use more than that on a HD movie and the sensor has the ability of 10bpc so the quality "should" be significantly better, whether it is or...

In 2015 Thinkware showed of its Flagship F750 Dual channel Dashcam being accredited with several awards the camera was almost perfect, just lacking in bitrate. In 2016 Thinkware released the F770, which for all intents and purposes was an exact clone of its F750 cousin, to rub salt in to the...

the camera will not enter parking mode without the hardwire kit, as dippy said, the newer devices will effectively not use the car battery, but the hardwirekit must be used.
