The front camera features a viewing angle of 135 degrees and supports Full HD video recording @30 FPS, while the rear, interior or waterproof external rear cameras record in HD 720p. Optional secondary cams:
- Rear-facing camera (for extra coverage at the back of the vehicle)
- Interior-facing infrared camera (great for rideshare, taxis, or fleet vehicles)
- Waterproof External Secondary Camera with a 15m cable, or 20m cable (for trucks or heavy-duty vehicles where the rear-facing cam must be mounted outside in the elements)
The F100 boasts numerous perks such as High Definition Video, format free technology, 3 autonomous recording modes, high-temperature protection, comprehensive driving information and fail-safe recording.
The intuitive and simple-to-use interface of Thinkware Dash Cam allows you to easily and conveniently view your recorded videos. Through the free PC or Mac viewer, you can playback and download recorded videos. You can also change the dash cam settings, format the memory card, or install updates with just a few clicks in the viewer. Use the links below to download the PC Viewer Software:
With the optional GPS antenna connected, the Thinkware F100 can record the vehicle's driving speed and position so that you can see its precise location, velocity and routes on a map when playing back the footage from the memory card. This is ideal for business owners or fleet managers, parents, or those who simply would like to have a record of their precise whereabouts (and perhaps more importantly, their speed) when driving.

The F100 can be hardwired to enable parking mode or just to eliminate that cigarette lighter power plug for a cleaner “installed” look. We advise getting a professional to connect your camera, draw the cables through your headliner/pillar and then tap into your fuse box. You will need to connect to both a constant and switch power source, as well as your vehicle’s ground source. Click here to learn more about the Thinkware Direct-Wire Hardwiring Kit
Also available is the tamper-proof case, perfect for business owners and parents to know the dashcam will remain on as intended, and the footage on the memory card will not be altered or destroyed. The tamper-proof case will protect not only your power cable and memory card, but also your optional GPS antenna and optional rear, IR, or external camera cable.Click here to learn about the Thinkware Tamper Proof Cover for F100 Dashcams
