THINKWARE - F200D Front and Rear Camera Dash Cam - Gray/Black

I had been wanting to get a dash cam for my F150 truck for the longest time but most of the dash cams I’d seen where just too bulky or expensive as heck. While checking out the Black Friday deals online I ran across Best Buy’s specials and noticed this dash cam combo kit. I checked out the F200D dash cam reviews and also Thinkware brand reviews and they were pretty good. So I decided I’d buy the F200D kit along with the hardwiring kit at my local Best Buy. What I really like about this camera is how low key it is and that it sort of blends in with my rear view mirror. Along with the front video quality( the rear camera is okay, but for accident purposes..) Even the parking and motion sensor feature is really convenient. Installation was super easy but ran into an issue with the hardwiring kit, the yellow and red wire are flipped,(apparently Thinkware had a faulty shipment) It was a easy fix though. Overall this dash cam fits the bill.

I upgraded to the Thinkware F200 from the F50 so I could have a rear camera also. I am very happy with this model. The video is good quality and I like the features such as the builtin wifi so I can dowmload the videos without taking out the micro sd card and taking it into the house to stick in my laptop. I like the parking mode feature with the incident and motion detection. I was concerned about my rear window being tinted and the camera being able to take usable video but surprisingly it does an adequate job. Overall I highly recommend this camera!

Honestly I think for the price it’s a great camera. I’m going to attempt to attach some pictures it was a rainy day when I installed it, but I think the quality is still good for an affordable front and rear camera. I’m sure if you want to spend $300-$500 you can get a better quality picture, but this is good enough quality for me.. Install was also easy..

Bought this camera as an upgrade to an old camera after seeing it mounted in my father's truck. All required equipment is there to get rolling even came with a 16gb microsd card to get started. Mounted the front camera just in front of my mirror and then coiled the cord to the rear view camera in the housing that goes around my rear view mirror and mounted it up high to get view of the cabin as I drive alot and want video proof in the event of an accident of my actions. Audio quality is great if you dont have the radio up loud and after playing with some settings through the app for the camera I have it set to record the previous 10 seconds and the following 20 seconds of any impact as small as a minor pot hole or railroad crossing for example. Overall very well made so far and excellent audio and video. Honestly would recommend for anyone wanting an unbiased truth in preparation of an unfortunate event.

Its a nice little kit but the quality of the video isn't high enough to capture license plates even on the front cam. It was really easy to set up but its a bit finicky to get it to connect to your smart phone. I think I will try a different brand for my wife car.

I have been searching for a good quality dash cam for a few years now and this mdl. Fits the bill. There is one problem though, the state of Alabama recently (Oct. 2019) passed a law making it illegal to install ANY DASH CAM onto the windshield of your vehicle. So in essence you can get a ticket/arrested for installing your dash cam. Supposedly it obstructs your vision. Apparently the law makers of Alabama have not thoroughly thought this law through. Think of the good these can do.

I had the Best Buy technicians install both the front and rear camera set. It took less than an hour, and I used the time to window shop in the store. After I downloaded the app, I was able to easily view the recorded pictures of both the front and rear cameras. The picture quality was amazing. The recording is in one minute increments, with the file name including both the the date and time. Each minute of recording is about 80 K. The included 16 GB memory chip will record for about two hours, and then it will start recording over the oldest files. I upgraded to a 128 GB SDHC micro chip, which is the largest that can be used. I purchased the optional GPS unit, which just plugged in to the main front camera. Not only will each recording include the location, but the unit will warn you about speed cameras as you drive. I liked this camera set so much, that I went back and bought a complete 2nd unit for my van.

After seeing various unsafe driving decisions others have made on the road, I put some thought into getting a dash cam. I wanted one that records both front and rear, but also needed one that did not have a driver-facing display (a requirement where I live). This camera has all the features I need. You can disable the audio recording (it's very important to be able to disable audio recording due to Federal Wiretapping law). You can also connect your smart phone to the camera to view the camera alignment, and also to download copies of the videos for viewing without having to disconnect your camera or remove the memory card - very convenient! In the time that I've owned this, I've recorded someone behind me getting rear-ended (it was a relief to be able to view the footage and know that nothing was my fault...the person behind me had someone tailgating him), and a few other interesting happenings. I recommend getting the kit to wire this into your car's power, because it adds the ability for a "Parking Mode". The Parking Mode will record about 20 seconds if it detects an impact while your car is parked. I also recommend having Best Buy install this for you - they installed mine and I am very happy with my dash cam.
