Quick question, once footage has been captured of someone putting a note on the car or somebody scratching it, then what ?
Call the police or insurance. It’s just evidence to those who hit and run.Quick question, once footage has been captured of someone putting a note on the car or somebody scratching it, then what ?

Must be me but I dont think the Police will do a right lot if someone put a note on my car or sratched it.
Insurance company wont really do anything.
A friend caught someone one damaging his car on cam and nothing was done, in fact it can be classed as invasion of privacy. We have had letters telling me to take my cameras down which watch my car.
Might only be a small thing to you but what was written on the note could be classified as a hate crime.I just dont think Police have the resource to go looking for someone who put a note on a car.

Take out the SD card and pop it in your PC / MAC. Download the Thinkware PC / Mac app and perform a firmware update or restore then pop the crd back in the camera. Never come across this before to be honest, same goes for the "low power" shut down which I can only assume is an issue with the unit as long as its been installed, ie connected to power, correctly.Unfortunately I think I have another problem with the dash cam. @DJAlix I wonder if you have encountered this before? The camera comes on ok but wifi won't connect. The wifi blue light flashes and makes the GPS light flash white. There is never a stable blue light which i think signifies stable connection. My iPhone states connected to Thinkware Wifi but then in the app it wont connect. if I turn it off then the camera goes back to recording mode. Also when just getting put of the car, it started saying "shutting down due to low battery power". Any ideas? the rear camera blue light is on to show power but when turning off the cars engine/ignition, I think the main camera GPS light is turning off.
I have tried a reset via the little pin sized button, formatted the SD card and take out the connections to check but still stays the same.

Are you using an iPhone on iOS 13? I had the same issue when I was running the beta of iOS 13.
Thinkware support say there are updating the app next week
To be honest I never really took any notice of the lights, I’ll have a look tomorrowHey, yes I am! but it thought it might not be the phone because its the dash cam itself that is flashing weirdly. actually, it might be because the phone connected via wifi and then it started flashing weirdly. not sure. just downloaded the firmware to restore it so ill check 1st. Did you have the same power low message and flashing lights?
Thanks @DJAlix for your help so far. ill report back.
I’m getting similar problems. Can’t connect to the dashcam with the iPhone. I think it’s something to do with iOS 13 as it worked before iOS 13 or 13.1.
My cam is still recording in parking mode though but only get like half a day to a day. Been keeping an eye on this for a while and noticed when I park with around 70% battery charge, checked on obd11 or vcds, I get only a few hours of parking recording before it shuts down. If it’s above 80% I get a day or more. If it’s sitting below 60% I get like half an hour.
I’ve got an old iPhone 6 that still on iOS 12.xx. Will give it try tomorrow and see if that works to at least prove it’s iOS or is there some other underlying problem.
Just a thought, check your battery / permanent live fuses.Hey, yes I am! but it thought it might not be the phone because its the dash cam itself that is flashing weirdly. actually, it might be because the phone connected via wifi and then it started flashing weirdly. not sure. just downloaded the firmware to restore it so ill check 1st.

............not shure mate. My son works in I.T & is really good with this sort of thing. He managed to get it working on iphone really easy then after a bit of fiddling around he sorted my S9 out so i can now view the recorded footage.On the iPhones with iOS 13.xx it’s not even connecting to the camera. Wi-fi connects but start the app and it says you are not connected. It’s not just the video issues some has with android.
Must be some security thing they put in iOS 13。
Iv unplugged mine off till i have time to get the car to a proper auto electrician. Still got the same symptoms, wont do parking mode, wifi wont connect. I think my problem is different to all your IOS problems as my symptoms appear on the device itself and not only the phone. My lights are still blinking away whereas i think you guys dont have this problem. I think my parking mode isn't working as i did a firmware reinstall and now i cant connect via the app so i cant change the settings.
I still can’t connect with iOS 13 but 12 works.
Have you not got a laptop or something like a crappy amazon fire tablet?
Maybe after the firmware update the default to parking mode is off.
A laptop to dowgrade the IOS you mean? yes i have an iMac and Macbook but didnt think we could downgrade the IOS these days? my problem is still the lights on the dash cam itself which makes me think its not an issue with the phone im trying to connect. When clicking on wifi it flashes blue and the GPS flashes white and green. no reset or firmware has fixed this. This is with iphone X trying to connect or with wifi off. no difference to the actual dashcam.
I was meaning connect laptop to dashcam if it’s possible rather than phone or tablet.
When I press Wi-fi mine flashes as you described till I get connected with an iOS 12 device otherwise my iOS 13 devices just makes it keep flashing.
here’s a vid of mine just flashing. Didn’t have my old iPhone 6 to connect up.
Oh wow! similar to mine! does this happen even without the phone connected to it? As in without a phone nearby and the dashcam not trying to connect. my GPS flashes white and green even when the wifi is in airplane mode. Wifi flashes same as yours. The sequence of flashing is the same though. Ill try and make a video tomorro.
Thank you for the video. Really appreciate it mate
flashes like that as soon as I press the Wi-fi button otherwise it’s just the green gps light in green.
Confirmed! I’m an idiot! The app update fixed the problem!! Working fine on ios13 now!
