    ADAS safety features not working on thinkware f800 pro

    Can only find 1.03.06 on US/Canada thinkware servers dated 17 June 2019. Interesting that your camera came with that when you bought it in May. Maybe the rest of us will get that update soon. I don't think you can downgrade the firmware. Why don't you set the sensitivity to high and see if it...

    Thinkware Viewer PC does not play videos

    Never had this issue. Try installing K-lite codec pack. I believe VLC doesn't share codecs with other viewers.

    New f800 parking mode problem

    Try disabling battery voltage protection but change your timer to say.... just 6hrs to see if it works. This is to troubleshoot if it's voltage issue or car is stopping the cam.

    Considering Thinkware F800- Why did you choose this camera?

    Good parking record duration, uses capacitor not battery, good night vision, decent IQ, built in gps to auto set date/time, "cloud". Lastly, built in voltage cut, had issues with power magic pro so no Blackvue.

    F800 Pro has power while parked - but not recording!

    You should try switching it as what VSGCowboy (edit: not Maddog) suggested. Read somewhere that Thinkware mislabelled some of their hardwire kit and they are reversed.

    is the rear camera necessary?

    I live in a place where, if I'm rear ended and the other party refuses to make a report to his insurance, it's very difficult to make insurance claims unless you have video evidence. 2ch is a must in my opinion. On FB, we have drivers asking for footage on their own accidents every other day.

    New update for F800 pro

    Through the app. Downloaded twice then nothing happens. Previously had no issue, will use the sdcard method. Update: @VSGCowboy Updated firmware through PC-Sdcard and it is working fine with the Samsung Evo+ card. I've had a few firmware updates that does this.

    New update for F800 pro

    Yeah it's stable as of last update. With the double restart I'm thinking they might change the framework hopefully for better features like parking cloud. Never know if they might break something though. Currently I'm also using a Samsung Evo as a backup which works perfectly. I'll try to...

    New update for F800 pro

    That's so strange. On the international site I can choose the firmware from many different countries. If you need it urgently, here is the direct link (USA): http://download2.inavi.com/dashcam/F800PRO_0/firmware/f800pro_0_1.03.05.zip

    Buffered recording?

    Took me some time to find but I was sure I had read it somewhere. I thought it would be common knowledge for reviewers and widely advertised, but interestingly I can only find this information on my local Thinkware webpage. Why DUAL SAVE TECHNOLOGY? THINKWARE DASH CAM’s benchmarking technology...

    Buffered recording?

    For normal impacts recording during driving or parking, it has a buffer of about 9-10s. What you have read is for energy saving parking mode, where the dashcam will only wake up from sleep and starts recording after an impact.

    Is there a way to make continuous mode use up all the disk space?

    No problem. I like to research as much as possible on the internet before getting the product so I've read many articles and seen many videos on the product. Sadly I bought it partly cause of cloud features that never came. My hardcopy manual looks more like a quick start guide. In the updated...

    Is there a way to make continuous mode use up all the disk space?

    The F800 sorts of "partitions" the sd card for continuous, parking and impact etc, so you can't actually use the full card for continuous recording. However, you can format and set the card with the app such that it uses more space for continuous. See...

    HELP! Dashcam keep saying 'Insert Memory Card'!

    Sounds like a hardware problem, cause if the card is wrongly formatted it would still detect something. Nevertheless, try formatting the card on a pc which also helps make sure that the card is working. You can also try resetting the camera: I don't know if error reading the card would...

    F800 PRO - microphone input level too high

    Maybe you can try to cover the mic with some blu-tack. Create a hole in the middle of the adhesive and adjust hole size for mic sensitivity.

    GPS

    Try these: 1) Make sure the speed stamp setting is enabled. (See bottom right) 2) After dashcam says GPS is connected, drive a while more (maybe more than 2min) then check if last video has speed stamp. 3) If it doesn't, you can try to update the firmware if it isn't updated to latest version...
