Generally, other manufacturers such as BlackVue or Cobra will make the rear camera lower quality so the advantage from the Thinkware camera is apparent. Video recording qualityĭespite the additional cost to add the rear camera accessory, both the front F750 and rear camera film at a high quality 1920 x 1080p at 30fps. For the front camera, you will get guidelines to help line up the camera in the proper spot for features like the Lane Departure Warning and Front Collision Warning System. The system will show both the front F750 camera and rear camera if connected. While the Wi-Fi is on and connected to a smartphone it will stop recording video. The Thinkware Dashcam Viewer application is available for Android and iOS and is necessary to view clips and adjust camera settings on the go. To check the video alignment, you will need to first press the Wi-Fi button on the unit and second connect the camera to your smartphone. The F750 will also give a vocal and LED alert when the device has found a GPS signal and is tracking your location. The unit will completely turn on and start recording in about 30 seconds and gives a vocal alert to let you know that “continuous recording” has started. Once the unit receives power from the 12-volt car charger, it will light up and give a vocal reminder to regularly format the memory card. ![]() Securing and detaching the F750 camera to the front windshield is simple with a removable plastic mounting plate that adheres to the glass with the help of the included 3M tape. The Thinkware rear camera that can be purchased separately for $90 is small, cylindrical, and includes a 21-foot Micro USB cord to allow even those with longer vehicles to mount it in the rear window. You can also enable a white LED on the front of the unit that display similar to the lights on KITT from Knight Rider to let any intruders know they are being recorded. The system is about four inches wide and two inches deep, but mounts flush with the windshield. The only buttons on the device power it on and off, start and stop recording, mute the sound, format the MicroSD card, and turn Wi-Fi on and off. On one side, the unit has places to plug both the DC power source and the Micro USB port for the rear camera. The body of the F750 camera is made up of hard plastic with a rotating metal cylinder that contains the camera lens. The MicroSD card is a proprietary device sold by Thinkware that has 512mb flash memory dual support to save a backup clip of any emergency recording. The Thinkware F750 system comes with the main camera unit, a 12v car charger, adhesive mounting tape, 16GB MLC Type MicroSD Memory Card, and a MicroSD card adaptor. We spent some time with both the F750 and the Thinkware Rearview camera to see if the combo is up to snuff. The camera includes road alerts and various safety features that hope to separate it from the growing number of competitors. Thinkware is one of newest innovators in the dash camera market and is looking to both protect and record your drive with its F750 dash camera.
