![]() Viewing videos are definitely easier by removing the microSD card and watching them on the Thinkware viewer on your computer. Each 85mb file takes approximately a minute to download. In addition to accessing the F800 PRO’s camera (memory card/camera/recording/road safety/system) settings, the app also provides a listing of recordings and enables you to download these files from the microSD card to your smartphone wirelessly. The process requires you to press the WiFi button on the front of the dashcam, directly connect to its WiFi (for me it is Thinkware_B8), then start up the app. To customize the F800 PRO’s multitude of settings, you have to connect to the dashcam via WiFi and use the mobile app to tweak things as you like. The Thinkware app even helps you align the dashcam when first setting the 3M mounting plate as you can see here with the blue & green lines. Other than the mute, format, WiFi, and the power buttons, configuring, managing and viewing/downloading video is all done via the Thinkware app available for iOS and Android devices. The hardware kit enables you to use all of the F800 PRO’s Parking Mode features/capabilities. Installation:Īs I mentioned above, instead of using the included 12v power cable I had the Thinkware TWA-SH hardwiring cable installed by the Geek Squad The cable itself was about $25 on Amazon and $50 to have it professionally installed. ![]() The PRO ups the maximum microSD card capacity to 128gb (vs the 64gb of the original F800). The top of the F800 PRO has the recessed reset button, microSD card slot, and microphone. The camera housing is able to rotate vertically approximately 90 degrees to accommodate nearly any windshield angle and vehicle design. The F800 PRO’s camera is on the left side of the device, engineered to sit very close to the windshield to reduce distortion and glare. The dashcam locks into place with a secure, wiggle-free connection. The mounting plate is securely held to the windshield by a 3M adhesive strip (vs suction cup mount). The top of the F800 PRO has four slots that slide onto the mounting plate which allows for easy installation and removal of the device. 16gb microSD memory card with adapter (consumable).The F800 PRO is even more stealthy than the original, housed in all-black (vs gray) plastic and packed full of the latest tech, features, and Sony’s 2.13MP Exmor CMOS camera. Other than verbal/audio notifications, you can hardly tell it’s installed being tucked behind the rearview mirror. Like its twin sibling, I love the minimalistic, non-distracting form factor of the F800 PRO. The F800 PRO is a screen-less dashcam, shaped more or less like a thick deck of cards with a growth on its side to house the lens assembly.
