QuestionDoes the front camera pivot to record inside the cabin? Looks like you can twist it to face inside the car. Thanks!
Asked 7 years ago by Panda.
- Answer Hi there, The F800 does not pivot to record the inside of the vehicle. The dash cam is attached to the windshield with an adhesive mount that is not designed to move. We hope this helps! Please contact us directly by email ([email protected]) or phone (1-844-865-9273) if you have any other questions. Kind regards, Thinkware Customer Support

QuestionCan I use a Sandisk 128gb Memory card with the F800? Or what is the maximum memory size that this device accepts (that has been verified).
Asked 6 years ago by Rommel.
- Answer These cameras can be picky. Please check thinkware. I also believe thinkware suggest a MLC flash card with high thoughput for longevity. The F800 can handle a max of 64Gb. The F800Pro can handle max 128Gb. I personally use Samsung EVO Plus without issue. I also live in a high heat state and my flash cards last about 1.5 years with driving only recording. Its just too hot for parking recording as it goes well above 200F in the windshield.

Questionhi i got my f800 but im having trouble it always gives me a "un-able to connect to internet" msg. my wifi keeps on blinking green light what shall i do???
Asked 6 years ago by pnoy.
- Answer The wifi will already blink according to thinkware customer support. I asked them that when I called them. It's up pose to go solid when connected. Make sure you have the "thinkware cloud" app loaded onto your phone. There are two versions of there. You need the one that says "cloud ". Push the button on the camera for he wifi. Then located "thinkware" in the wifi on your phone ND connect to it. Here's the tip, make sure all your other wifis are not set to auto connect! They will connect after you choose thinkware and disconnect it. Select the other wifis by selecting and holding to being up the feature on your phone to set it. Good luck! Remember, you can always call thinkware. Just Google for their customer support number.

QuestionDoes the Cam records when the car is off and how?? How long does it records for when the car is off? Does the Cam automatically turns on when the car is off with the motion sensor ? Just Incase of vandalism while I’m asleep or far from my car.
Asked 7 years ago by Gasolina.
- Answer Hi there! When hardwired, the F800 can record with the ignition off in Parking Surveillance Mode. The duration of Parking Surveillance Mode varies and is dependent on the sensitivity of your impact/motion detection, the number of events, and your car battery. The dash cam is always active in Parking Surveillance Mode but does not save footage onto the MicroSD card until there is a trigger to minimize batter consumption and memory card storage. We hope this answers your question! Please contact us directly by email ([email protected]) or phone (1-844-865-9273) for more assistance. Kind regards, Thinkware Customer Support
