Description
The Thinkware ARC 800 is a premium dual-camera dashcam that captures stunning 4K video with its front-facing Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, complemented by a 1080p rear camera. You also get excellent nighttime recording, built-in GPS, a 2.3-inch touchscreen, and advanced parking surveillance features. But is crystal-clear video footage enough to make this the right dash cam for your vehicle? Tech expert and car reviewer Dave Taylor puts the Thinkware ARC 800 through its paces, exploring its impressive hardware and frustrating software limitations.
You’ll see daytime and nighttime driving footage and learn about the camera’s features. Discover why the Thinkware smartphone app can be a headache, particularly when wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto competes for your phone’s Wi-Fi connection. You’ll also learn why accessing the GPS location and speed data recorded by the camera is surprisingly difficult, especially with Thinkware’s now unsupported desktop software. Is the ARC 800’s excellent video quality worth putting up with the software aggravation? Watch and decide for yourself!
