QuestionThe Best Buy specs do not mention sound recording or GPS. I saw in the reviews that it might ave GPS, does it for sure have GPS and sound?
Asked 9 years ago by Jonsypa.
- Answer It has GPS but to see the GPS route you have to use the PC preview software that comes with the camera. Supports Windows and Mac. I used the Mac version and it was easy and clear. I am not a lawyer, but I believe this would stand up in court. It has a very good microphone for sound. You will hear your voice crystal clear. You can turn the microphone off easily.

Asked 9 years ago by mcmutlu.
- Answer Hi there, To hardwire your Thinkware dash cam, the Thinkware hardwiring cable (TWA-SH) must be used. With the proper cable, splicing and cutting will not be necessary. Please contact your local Best Buy directly to see if they are able to provide hardwiring installation services for you. Thinkware Customer Support

QuestionON its self powered batteries and 16g card, how long will it record?How long will it record on a 16g or 32g memory card? How long will it continuously record on new batteries?
Asked 9 years ago by billjustbill.
- Answer Hi there, Thinkware dash cams do not have batteries! It uses a Supercapacitor, which is a more reliable alternative against extreme temperatures. A 16 GB card will store approximately 248 minutes while a 32GB card will store double the storage at 496 minutes if you only have the front dash cam installed. The storage time will be halved if you have the rear-view camera installed as well because the rear-view camera footage is stored on the same memory card. However, please note that the dash cam will automatically overwrite the oldest footage when the memory card is full so the dash cam will always be recording. Hopefully this message answered your question! Please let us know if you have other questions. You can directly contact us by phone (1-844-865-9273) or email ([email protected]).

Questionaccording to the manual there is an ssid so it must be broadcasting. I know you have to push button on camera to connect to phone but is there any way someone else can connect to the camera while the Wi-Fi is on? or can only one phone connect at a time?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The Camera has an SSID associated with the camera. When you setup the camera, you will have an option to change the SSID and password. Just like any other WiFi, if you know the SSID and Password, you will be able to connect to it.

Asked 9 years ago by Nick.
- Answer It does stamp information onto the bottom of the video, but vehicle speed is not included (see pictures). To get information on vehicle speed you have to view the footage in the viewer software on a computer.

Questiondoes the front and rear cam record at the same time or is it either or or does the rear cam even record. and does the motion detector work with the rear cam.
Asked 9 years ago by toycam15.

The rear-view camera will also have motion detection when the front camera is successfully hardwired and Parking Mode is enabled.

QuestionCan you explain the temp shutoff? Mine stopped recording at 2:00 today and it is only 75 degrees out. Got to mall at 1:30 and stayed till 3, so it only got half an hour; that's no good.
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi there! May we ask if your dash cam is hardwired? If so, the shut off was likely related to the battery discharge prevention feature, "Off-Voltage" setting. The dash cam monitors the voltage level and if the detected level is below the adjustable threshold, it will prompt shut down to ensure that users will return to a functional car battery. As the dash cam requires more power to record in Motion Detection in Parking Surveillance Mode and the vehicle was parked in a high traffic area, it's likely the Off Voltage setting came in effect. To extend Parking Mode operation, you can either lower the Off Voltage setting and/or the Motion Sensitivity. We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.

QuestionIs this able to rotate? Ex: if you were pulled over, could you rotate the cam to record the interaction at the driver's door?
Asked 8 years ago by John.
- Answer I'm afraid it doesn't but it does record audio! If the officer asks you to turn off the car it would be a good idea to get the hard wire kit so that you can still record using the physical record button.

QuestionWhen it detects motion how long does it record and can you adjust this setting to let's say one minute clips?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi there, If the dash cam detects motion in parking surveillance mode, it will take 10 seconds prior to the incident and 10 seconds after the incident for a 20 second clip of the motion detection. Users cannot adjust the length of the motion detection clip. Kind regards, Thinkware Customer Support

QuestionWhat is the shut off temperature?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi there! The specified operating temperature is 14°F to 140°F but please note that the built-in thermal sensor considers both the ambient and internal temperature of the dash cam so the exact range may slightly vary.

QuestionAbout 7 months ago someone said that they use 128gb card and it works fine. The company said that it was not tested for over 64. Has it been tested now? I really need larger card since it only uses a fraction of it for parking; very disappointing.
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes you can. I would recommend downloading the latest firmware onto the stock card and update to make sure it will recognize the larger card. I purchased the Lexar High-Performance microSDXC 633x 128GB for $34 this past December and it worked without any issues immediately. The unit is very picky about the type of card, I tried other brands I had laying around and it did not recognize those.

Questionparking mode(PM)starts when you turn off the car but can you set a timer for when it will start instead? I know there is a voltage cut off, but I want to run PM for about 8-10 hours. It's not running continuously only motion. will this kill my battery?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer FYI - my car's socket power stays on after engine shuts off. Did not need to hardwire for running in parking mode. But after 3 weeks of doing this, my battery voltage went far below the cut off setting because the Thinkware would NOT shut off at cut off voltage.
