Rapidly becoming a must-have item, dash cams are one of the biggest success stories in recent years of consumer technology.

Seeing similar advancements in tech that have helped smartphones become ubiquitous, Dash Cams are more affordable and full of far more technology than only just a couple of years ago.

Thinkware F800 AIR Features

The F800 was announced in January 2017 as the F800 “Air”. This related to a new Cloud storage and backup service, as well as the ability for the F800 to deliver remote notifications to a Smart app on your phone/tablet via a Thinkware account.

The Air features and Cloud system have taken Thinkware longer than expected to develop and finalise. As such, this model of the F800 is launching without them.

Once the Air system is finalised (expected late 2017), a free software update will be available. This will turn the F800 into the originally advertised Air model free of charge.

Thinkware Features

There is a lot of competition in the Dash Cam space, with many features being shared across manufacturers and brands.

Thinkware have received plenty of support due to the comparatively low cost of their cameras whilst maintaining top of the range recording quality and reliability.

Front & Rear View Full HD Recordings

Full HD 1080p footage can be recorded from both the front and rear cameras simultaneously. A wide 104-degree angle is available on both channels too!

Super Night Vision 2.0

New for the F800 is an upgrade to Thinkware’s Super Night Vision Technology. Already one of the market-leading examples, Super Night Vision 2 now provides even clearer images in low light environments.

This enhances footage recorded on the road at night, and when parked.
