I see there are still a couple of frame drops here and there. I don't normally have this issue, but then I have never edited dash cam footage before. I had the frame rate set up wrong in Vegas Pro. which watches over your vehicle’s battery power, so you don’t accidentally end up with a drained battery. Instead of dry completely as well. This step is very important to ensure a secure and long-lasting attachment of your

It’s easy to understand why the demand for dashcams is on the up. The chance of filming what happens – in case, something happens – is appealing. A CPL filter would be great, but I have been informed that it could affect the night vision and make recordings darker. I am not quite sure why it says winter months, yet summer months are shown too. I know the weather is different in all countries at different times of the year, but maybe all of the months should be shown so that there is more of an option. Even if you are away from the car, your dash cam will keep an eye on what’s happening and store the footage into storage when an impact or motion is detected. Or use Time Lapse to store the footage in 2 frames per second. *Hardwiring installation is required to activate parking mode.

Various autonomous recording modes

I see that the app has been updated within the last few days for Wi-Fi, but I am still not able to use the app on my Android phone. As I said, the F800 Pro offers ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) features such as lane departure and collision warnings, as well as a tardy departure warning. That is, if you’re asleep at the wheel as the traffic in front of you starts moving, you receive a gentle reminder to get off the brake and accelerate. I’m going to say it yet again: If you think these are features you need, take more lessons or get off the road. The life you save may be mine. The Sony Exmor R STARVIS Image Sensor applied to the F800PRO provides rich colors and the optimal resolution. STARVIS technology improves Exmor R’s low light sensitivity by providing optimal image quality in visible ray and near-infrared range, allowing clear imaging in low light environments. Once the F800 Pro is installed, you can tilt the camera up and down so that it points in the right direction. You can’t rotate left and right, however, making it essential to position the adhesive plate accurately first time. The CPL filter, I'll put on hold, I've got a dash carpet coming that will reduce the dash reflections. The rear cam is good, the tint on the rear window, provides a better balanced image. Than can be done via the settings. Once the carpet is in place, maybe I'll look at a lens filter to mimic the tint.

Thinkware dash cams are sold with either a car charger, which directly plugs into your vehicle’s cigarette It's great to be able to change the settings of the camera on a PC, if you are not able to set the camera settings on a smartphone. Since the F800 Pro doesn’t have a screen, most functions require the use of the smartphone app. There are some buttons on what becomes the underside of the device facing the driver once it’s installed. One is for power, another toggles the microphone, a third button formats the memory card, and the fourth one turns the Wi-Fi off and on. These range round a fifth button that triggers manual video recording. The cameras on both rotate vertically but not horizontally, so are ideally situated in the top centre of either glass windscreen, front or rear. The rear camera comes with a super-long cable which can be hidden behind the trim – again a good reason to get it installed professionally.

Details are readily apparent in the F800 Pro’s daytime captures, though the color palette isn’t as saturated as we’ve see with HDR cameras such as the Viofo A119and the more recently reviewed Z-Edge Z4. IDG
