Awesome auto cam. Only wish I got the one with a cig lighter connection instead of direct wire. Otherwise, it’s awesome!

I installed this and have been driving with it for about two months now. I didn’t use the hardwire kit that was included, though. I instead ordered the EchoMaster OBD II Power Cable directly from the Thinkware website ($40). The OBD II cable is a much easier installation and only took a few seconds to get everything hooked up. The most time consuming part of installation was getting the cables hidden behind the door jams and A-pillar columns so as not to be hanging out all over the place. But once installed, it’s basically set-it-and-forget-it. The OBD II cable automatically controls on/off and parking surveillance mode with no further input required. Also, I’m using a 128GB SD card, instead of the included 16GB card. (So, basically, the only thing I’m actually using from the bundle are the two cameras and the chords. I wasn’t able to find the FA200 without the bundle, and the price point was reasonable enough that I didn’t worry too much about it.)
Connection to the camera wifi through my iPhone is straight forward and I haven’t had any issues. I really only needed to connect to do the initial setup, and if I want to view the video feed or download a video. So far, I’ve only had one “idjut” almost hit me, so I’ve only downloaded the two (front and rear) videos for that minute, but download was hassle free. It does take a minute or so to download to the phone due to the file size. I’ll note that you have to hit the wifi button on the camera if you want to connect, so thankfully your phone won’t connect automatically every time you get in the car.
Picture quality is relatively good. I did notice that sample video on youtube showed a sight “fish eye” quality, but it doesn’t actually seem to do that on the downloaded videos. The downloaded videos look like a regular camera perspective, so I don’t know what was up with the youtube videos. Video definition is pretty good. You can make out license plates and street signs, etc.
*** UPDATE ***: After paying a bit more attention, there is a slight fish eye, especially around the edges. But it does not really effect the video in the way a normal “fish eye” camera would.
My only downside is that the rear camera, though small, is fairly obvious from inside the vehicle. My rear view window has a bump for the high tail light, so I had to put the camera under the bump to be centered. The camera isn’t exactly “stealthy,” but it isn’t overly obnoxious, either. (After I placed it, I realized I could have put the rear camera off to the side of the bump without really affecting the view, which would have placed the camera higher on the window. But, since I’d already installed it, I didn’t want to pull off the adhesive and risk not being able to re-use it.) Overall, though, I’m quite happy with the FA200.

***The wires are wrong in the hardwire kit***
You have to switch the red and yellow. Use yellow as battery and red as ignition or the parking mode will not work. After the 2 hours figuring it out, it’s an awesome dash cam.

REAR CAM WAS DEFECTIVE BUT GOT ANOTHER ONE AND WORKS FINE. RECORDS A FILE EVREY MINUTE SO EAS Y SMALLER DATA. ALSO IMPACT VIDEOS GET STORED SEPERATELY IN A DIFFERENT FILE THAT WONT BE OVER WRITTEN. YOU COULD ADJUST THE IMPACT SETTING THE VOLTAGE CUT OFF. I HAVE MINE ON ALL DAY SO IF MY BATTERY DROPS PAST 12.3V IT WILL CUT OFF.
