ON 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?

Question

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.

Just so you know, this unit can take a 128 GB card and give you 8 hours of continuous recording. This is not stated in the manual or specs.

If you download the pdf of the owner's manual there is a chart indicating recording time (along with a lot of other useful information). I don't believe the f750 has an internal battery. There is a setting for the device to set recording time using the car battery.

I don't believe it has Batteries. It uses a capacitor for its temporary power needs. This is because Lithium batteries and high heat don't mix well. The F750 should operate at higher cabin temperatures than most or even all dashcams on the market today because of replacing battery with a capacitor. Using the hard wire kit your F750 will be watching for movement while parked as well. The card rewrites when full so even a 16Gb card is infinite. Also if you have an ion in downloading clips from the built in wifi is easy and while not slow, I would not call,it fast. Practical is a good way to describe it

32GB at Full HD 30FPS is 248 minutes.

64GB at Full HD 30FPS is 496 minutes.

It looks like if you add the rear camera then you get half the total recording time.

There are no batteries

No batteries to speak of in this. Once you power off the unit by turning off the vehicle or unplugging the unit, the unit shuts down. 
At full resolution 32gb will record about 5 hours. If you want to record more, this unit will take a 64gb card and will record about eight hours or so.

This dashcam doesn't come with batteries(the only downfall I've seen so far). I'm a courier and use it all day(upto 10 hours per day sometimes).

I didn't even want to bother finding out how long it will go on a battery. I guarantee if you are trying to work with that you will likely be disappointed with anything you get. Plug it into the cigarette lighter or get it permanetly installed with the kit for $29.00. With a 64MB card, and rear camera I am probably into it for just less than $600. Why worry about batteries unless you are swapping it between cars?

It over laps recordings so time isnt an issue.

It wont as it doesn't have a self powered battery when its unplugged from the power supply then it powers off
