Purchasing my first dash cam and think I've settled on the Thinkware F800 Pro for the front and rear. Plan on keeping it for a long time so went with the F800 Pro vs the F800, as the Pro allows for higher capacity as far as the Micro SD card. Also, I like the all-black design lol
I'm an amateur when it comes to dash cams, so wondering how to power the cams when the car is turned off, as it seems to be called Parking Mode. After some research, I was gonna go with the Power Magic Pro as it sounds like there are a bunch of different configurations available to me (e.g. power, time, etc.). However, on the Black Box My Car website, it states the following:
"Similarly, hardwire kits like the Power Magic Pro, Multi-Safer, or Vico Power Plus are also not recommended for Thinkware dash cams as they will also not activate parking mode properly."
They seem to be steering me towards one of the four options located on their website:
1) BlackboxMyCar hardwiring kit
2) Thinkware hardwiring kit
3) Cellink B with Spliced Output Cable
4) Cellink Neo with Spliced Output Cable
Like I said, I'm an amateur so is their statement about PMP merely a sales pitch or is there validity to their statement, and I should be looking at one of the four options? If not PMP, which option makes the most sense?
