Finally found the one
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is nothing short of greatness. The Wi-Fi capability makes the ease of this unit unmatched. The quality of both Day & night video is clear and crisp and the clarity is perfect. I like the availability of the driver warnings for lane departure, forward collision is nice, though I personally choose to turn them off (Satisfied that the "off" option is available for the warnings). I have not caught any incidents, though the closest call was right at dusk, driving into the sun; I was able to "Clearly" see the signal light change from Green-Yellow, and finally to Red as well as I could "Clearly" see each vehicles make-model-color, and I'm sure it I put it on a bigger monitor, even the license plate. I am very into video clarity and this unit is spot on. I would and do recommend this unit for anyone looking for a unit that is reasonably priced, compact, low-profile, and the Wi-Fi availability to see live view, review local on-site recordings and to download straight to a mobile device, the videos you choose, as well as saves onto the extra partition memory in the unit+MicroSD.

It's great, but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review....if only I could turn off that dang voice that insists on telling me all kinds of stuff that really doesn't matter, each and every time, I start up or turn off the car. The installation was done quickly and professionally, but I can't say that I'm wild about the wiring harness being twelve feet long. All that extra cord (which cannot be cut) had to be jammed up above the lining, behind the visor, on the right side. It bulges just enough that it annoys me. All that being said, the camera works perfectly: both front and back recordings are crystal clear, and I discovered that it also picks up any and all conversations, music, etc happening inside the car.

Easy to Set Up
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did quite a bit of research on these prior to buying. If you are looking for something that is easy to get your hands on versus via Amazon or China, it's nice Best Buy is offering them for sale. I also have a Magellan GPS device that also records video that I purchased from BB, so I can compare those. Video quality, the F750 is far better. I don't think BB will allow me to embed a video here, but I will post a link to a private You Tube video I uploaded so you can see. I haven't tried this at night, but all dash cams tend to struggle with quality video at night. Audio, both are just fine. This has a WiFi access that the Magellan does not. At first it was finicky about connecting, but no problems since. The interface is less then what you would get on your PC Viewer, which both have, but if you need video to show, the WiFi will handle it. I purchased this along with the Hardwire kit, which was easy enough. Powers on when the ACC is on and enters parking mode when car is turned off. I tested the sensitivity and it works. However, if someone does hit your car on the side, unless they walk into view of the camera, you won't see them. There is a slight hum during video playback. Some research shows this may be due to some interference with the GPS, TPMS, OnStar, XMSirius that I already have in the car so a different direction of wiring may be needed. Overall it's a gadget, albeit a pricier one, but could be very useful in the event of an accident. Best Buy also offers these cheaper then what you can find them on Amazon now, possibly since they are fairly new in the stores. The picture attached for some reason does not show the video (Windows 10, I dunno), but the link to the video shows you what you would see. The picture shows you the framework for the PC Viewing Screen. The video is here https://youtu.be/Efga4ZLnHuc

Great camera with Great value and potential
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is exactly what I was looking for. It is not cheap, however the potential behind this camera is worth the cost. While I have not added on the additional rear-camera or hardwired kit for parking monitoring features, I have used this with the enclosed windshield mount with 3M tape. The resolution during the day is excellent. The automatic adjustments in the camera prevent white-out from the sun, even when driving into the sunset. The night time recording is very decent as well. While obviously there is less light, it still records well enough to see a dog just outside of range of the head lights. When other vehicles pass you, the camera does not reduce the quality of the video to see the "light" better like other cameras have in the past. Observations: In the recording you have the following overlay at the bottom of the screen "THINKWARE F750 (version) (Voltage) (GPS Date/time)" Your GPS speed is not visible in the video. If you were involved in an accident, this means in order to provide speed information with the recording you would either A: create an exact copy of your Micro SD card and keep the copy, giving law enforcement the original, or B: Give investigators your camera with Micro SD card for submission to evidence. Speed is a factor of every accident, and showing non-reckless driving can certainly prevent unnecessary time in civil court should it get to that point. GPS: I have not yet found a way to view the GPS information in raw format. The GPS appears accurate at most times, however when it is cold first thing in the morning, the GPS appears to be off by about 15 feet or so, showing your "trail" in the ditch or field along the roadway. Once it gets warm, using the "satellite" view on the map display, you can clearly see what lane you were in. Note: If you want a dash-cam with a live view while your in the vehicle, and able to see what you are recording, this is not the camera for you. This camera is for those that want that extra witness with out the distraction of glare from a screen or wondering if something is "in view" taking your attention for the roadway. There is "Rec" (record) button on the camera that you can press to save a 60 second segment. This is handy for those events that may not have been detected by the gyro. About the Lane Departure warning, This does vary with vehicle. If you are in a car, you want to set the vehicle to "Sedan", or for a SUV set it to "SUV". Otherwise the detection goes off like crazy.

Great features and quality. Near-proprietary uSD.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great hardware and video quality. Really nice feature set. Like how it attaches to the windshield with tape rather than suction. iOS app is full-featured but a tad buggy and some non-English text. My only complaint is that the microSD cards are semi-proprietary. You can't just drop any relatively high-speed card into it to upgrade the storage, and their Thinkware-branded cards are over priced and hard to find. Otherwise, a great product if used as-is.

Great camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Video quality is clear. Installation is easy. Just wish they have it in all black and more discreet. I added the rear camera and so far working great.. Customer service is not bad either. I emailed customer support at night time and got my answer the following day.

Great Dash Cam
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent video quality lane departure warning and follow warnings work ok and the night video is also very good, The one and only complaint I have is that the windshield mount is not the easiest in the world to mount to. In the past I had my car broken in to and they stole my radar detector the one and only time I left it on the windshield so I ALWAYS take it off and either hide it away or take it with me and the mount is difficult to attach to unless you are looking at the unit which is difficult because it is mounted behind the mirror. If they were to modify the mount this unit would be a Must Have. As it is, I am still happy with the unit and would recommend it to others.

Best Dash Cam
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So my desire was to be able to get a device that could record all of the occurrences that happen daily here in San Francisco when we traverse from one point to the other! I knew nothing about dash cameras and no one I know actually has such a device in their own vehicles! But I felt very strongly that I wanted to start to document how badly and rudely people are driving in San Francisco these days! The device is amazing and aside from Lane departure Warning Systems, forward Collision Warning Systems and the fact that it has an internal GPS it also has something most people would like, it alerts you to safety camera alerts, red light camera alert, speed camera alert, combined red light and speed camera alert, average speed zone alert, mobile speed zone alert. This is an amazing product and well worth every dollar I spent at Best Buy! You need to look no further than this particular manufacturer. I love the design it's very inconspicuous it fit right underneath my rearview mirror and for the most part blends in! I did purchase the hard wiring kit but I am currently using the plug-in cable! I also love the fact that you have Wi-Fi so you can actually see your recordings when you stop to look at something! It is connected to your smartphone! I also purchased the biggest memory card to replace the one this one comes with which is pretty minimal memory.

Best cam on the market
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I looked hard for a replacement dashcam. This unit has almost everything needed, The video is fantastic. I would be willing to pay more if it had a rechargeable internal battery. I bought the external power cable to power it from my car's battery, have not installed that yet.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera serves my purpose. Easy setup. I purchased the hardwiring cable to take advantage of the parking recording mode. The video quality is good but not great compared to my Sony Action Cam where it can clearly capture license plates even when driving at 75MPH. Another problem i have is the audio, it doesn't do well if the windows are open, it does captures audio great when the windows are close. The extra features (Lane departure and Forward collision) are great addition but it gets annoying so i turned it off. Some users complain about not being able to use other brand Micro Sd card, I didn't have that problem. Purchased a 128Gb PNY Micro SD card and have no issues.

Great camera with useless features
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera records great quality video, and the system for protecting important video seems like it's clever enough to work well. The camera is always recording and writing over old recordings. If the G-force sensors detect a collision, the video recorded immediately surrounding the time of the collision will be protected from being overwritten by future recordings. I haven't been in an accident, so I can't speak to its functionality in practice. The additional features, presumably the reason for the ridiculously high price tag, are useless. The camera includes alarms to alert the driver when the vehicle is exiting the lane, approaching another vehicle, or approaching a traffic camera. 1. The literature doesn't explain the difference in the alarms, so when a beep happens, the driver can't be sure which alarm is happening. 2. Even at the lowest sensitivities, the alarms are never ending. 3. Every time that the camera is powered on, there is a female voice telling the people in the car that the camera is active and that the GPS is connected. Even at the lowest volume, the announcements are too loud. There is no option to disable the announcements (they're incredibly annoying). Therefore, the only way to get rid of them is to turn the volume off, which negates any small advantages that the driver might get from the other alerts. 4. Updating the locations of the speed cameras cannot be done through the app while connected to the camera via WiFi. It's a clunky process of downloading and manipulating an update file onto the microSD card. 5. I purchased a larger replacement microSD card with all of the appropriate specifications according to Thinkware, but the camera doesn't support it for some unknown reason. Support was fast to suggest that I purchase a $50 32 GB card from them, an absurdly priced piece of flash memory. Overall, this is a good dashcam with an insane price that hopes to be justified by including poorly implemented features.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the F750 after reading several reviews on line. Best buy had a great sale so I purchased aloud with an optional 64gig storage card. Installation was simple following the instructions. After a 3,000 mile trip I recorded several events. The clarity was great, sound good, options easy to implement. First event recording was while entering a town in Va. A series of police vehicles (20) to a robbery /accident scene involving a police car crashing into two suspects in the center of town with injuries. The second event filmed a bear running across the interstate jumping the hood of a car in front of our vehicle and nearly missing another car. Next to us. Never expected to have witnessed these events and have a recording to boot. The apps downloaded were easy for our I pads and Android. Downloading each 80meg clip was instantaneous and playback easier. I found finding the exact clip to view required knowing the time taken at the time you see the event. It happens so quickly you have to guess the exact time the event happened and scroll down several segments recorded to find the right one. So I have a learning curve to understand all the features and options available. The whole process has been a good one...and I am happy with my purchase. Since it has a port for a second camera I am planning to purchase to captured the rear view As well. One recommendation would be to allow full rotation of the front camera lens (180 degrees ) with alignment marks so one can quickly turn the camera lens inside for those police encounter athe the driver side. I am thinking using the rear camera mounted inside at the front if the viewing angle is sufficient.

Great Dash Cam
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Invested in this camera because I felt it would be good to have in case it is ever needed. I like the fact that it can have a rear camera attached but doesn't include the rear camera so you aren't forced to pay for something you may not use. Included GPS is a plus and a recent firmware update allows you to imprint your speed on the screen which is great. The only thing I don't like is the constant voice reminders to format the memory card.

Great video quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In today's lawsuit happy environment, a dash cam can be a great way to protect yourself from financial ruin. The Thinkware F750 is a nice compact video camera with n1080p resolution and a wide field of view. The manual may be a trifle spartan when discussing the lane departure and collision warning features, but a quick e-mail to the manufacturer cleared up and questions.
