After 5 minutes of trying and failing to peel the darn film off, I eventually conceded defeat and used a scraper blade to get the job done. Maybe it’s just me, but across the board, Thinkware dash cams always end up being the least straight-forward to mount. It’s a small, quite specific gripe, but one which can make the installation process that little bit more frustrating and time-consuming. Positioning the camera Once you’re able, it’s a good idea to position the camera high up and central on the inside of your car’s windscreen. That way, you’ll get the best footage, and the camera will cause the least amount of distraction. In fact, if you hide it behind the rearview mirror it won’t cause any distraction at all. This is especially true of the Thinkware F70 thanks to its slim, discreet design. When placing the mount, you might also want to take note of the fact that the F70’s lens is located to the side of the camera’s body. As such, if you want a perfectly central viewpoint, it may be worth offsetting the mount’s position a little. Connecting to power What the F70 does offer, is what Thinkware calls Front Vehicle Departure Warning, or FVDW. This monitors the vehicle in front when you are stationary, such as at a red light. If the vehicle ahead moves forward and you don’t, the camera will beep to let you know - handy if you’re not paying attention, and less embarrassing than being honked at by the car behind.
As with most dash cams, the F70 also records audio, but this can be switched off. We imagine most buyers will opt to do this, as it can be uncomfortable knowing the camera is constantly recording your private conversations. Thinkware F70 review: Design Although there is no dedicated night vision mode using infrared light, the F70 adjusts its video settings at night to boost brightness and reduce noise. Exposure is also adjusted automatically to counter strong sunlight and dark tunnels alike.Consumer interest in dash cams has been growing globally and in North America currently, which makes it the perfect time for THINKWARE to introduce an affordable dash cam that offers the latest in-demand capabilities.” stated Brian Yang, THINKWARE’s General Manager of Global Business Development. “The THINKWARE F70 is a cost-effective option for consumers seeking high quality recordings with a wider-angle view of the road. The F70 offers
As far as additional features go, the Thinkware F70 is quite a simple device. Again, it’s an entry-level product, so literally anything is a bonus. One thing that it does have up its sleeve though is a G sensor. This bit of tech helps the camera to identify impacts, and when that happens, it stores a recording of that moment in a separate folder. As you’d expect, this feature is operational when you’re driving about, but it also forms the basis of ‘parking mode’. As explained earlier, this is the camera’s dormant state which allows it to capture incidents upon impact when you’re away from the car. In its default settings though, there is a bit of a catch…The F70 is one of the smaller dash cams on sale today. Where some camera can be bulky and take up a lot of space, this one is almost invisible once installed in the top-middle of your windscreen. The cylinder design is quite smart and subtle, and the mounting system is easy to use. The camera measures 78 x 34.6 x 31.5mm and weighs 42.4g; it should fit behind the rearview mirror of most vehicles. It’s always important to get a holistic view of what it’s like to own each dash cam that I test. For that reason, I’ll be taking you through the whole ownership process – installation, operation, and showing you what sort of image quality you can expect at both day and night. Along the way, I’ll point out the good and bad that you only get to see when handling the dash cam first-hand. Many dash cams offer a parking mode like this, and it’s a useful feature to have. Although it won’t capture events leading up to the impact, it will record straight after, potentially storing footage that could help you work out what happened, and capture the number plate of the guilty party.
