Your fitted package
£399 supplied and fitted, including VAT. Your package includes both cameras, built-in GPS, a 64GB memory card, hardwire kit and standard local installation. We conceal the wiring, set up the camera and show you how to find and save your footage.
Choose the ARC700 if you want a complete front-and-rear system with more recording detail than our entry-level Q200, plus straightforward access to clips on your phone. It is our recommended middle option for everyday drivers.
Recording quality
The front camera records at 4K/30fps, with a 2K/45fps setting available; the rear records at 2K/30fps. Front and rear HDR balance bright and dark parts of the picture while driving. Super Night Vision 3.0 improves low-light processing on the front camera. These features help capture useful detail, but visibility still depends on lighting, weather, speed and the condition of the glass.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and the phone app — what each one does
Use THINKWARE DASH CAM LINK on a compatible iPhone or Android phone. Bluetooth helps your phone pair with the powered camera. When you select Live View or recorded videos, the app switches to the camera's Wi-Fi connection for viewing and downloading footage. You can also adjust supported camera settings in the app.
The ARC700 supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi. This is a direct, nearby connection between the camera and your phone. It does not give the camera internet access or let you watch the car from anywhere. The ARC700 is not listed as a THINKWARE CONNECTED model, so do not expect cloud alerts, internet live viewing or live vehicle tracking.
You do not need to keep your phone connected for normal recording. View and download clips while safely parked, then disconnect from the camera's Wi-Fi before driving. We demonstrate the connection during handover. Check the current app-store compatibility before booking if your phone is older.
What the built-in GPS does
GPS supports speed-camera alerts, date and time information, and an optional speed stamp. On the ARC700, GPS location data is not stored on the memory card, so recorded journeys do not display as mapped routes in Thinkware PC Viewer. GPS here is not a theft-recovery tracker.
Parking modes explained
Our hardwired installation enables supported parking recording when the ignition is off. Choose a mode to suit how and where you park:
• Motion and impact: buffers footage and saves a 20-second clip covering approximately 10 seconds before and after a detected event.
• Time lapse: captures a reduced-frame-rate overview at 2fps, useful for reviewing a longer parked period; playback is accelerated and has no audio in this mode.
• Energy saving: reduces power draw by sleeping until an impact wakes the camera. It does not give the same pre-impact view as buffered motion detection.
• Smart parking: changes to low-power, impact-only operation in high temperatures, then resumes the normal supported mode when conditions allow.
Optional radar and battery protection
The ARC700 does not include radar as standard. A compatible optional radar module can wake the camera in energy-saving mode before an impact, allowing an event clip to include earlier footage. Radar detection alone does not mean every movement becomes a saved clip. Ask us about the correct module and fitted price.
All parking modes, including radar, use power. Normally that comes from the vehicle's battery. We configure suitable battery-protection and parking settings, but these cannot guarantee unlimited recording or prevent every flat-battery problem. Battery condition, temperature, driving time and parking activity affect the available recording period. A separately priced dash-cam battery pack can supply the camera while parked; we will advise on suitability.
Storage, updates and care
The included 64GB card can be supplemented with a compatible 128GB or 256GB card. Recording uses loop storage, so save important clips promptly before they are overwritten. A larger card stores more footage; it does not increase image quality.
We check the setup and firmware during installation. Use firmware intended for the exact ARC700 model and UK region, follow Thinkware's update instructions and keep power connected throughout an update. Back up recordings before formatting a card, and recheck camera and parking settings afterwards. Keep the camera lenses and the glass in front of them clean and periodically check that recordings can be played back.
Your options
• Additional 128GB card: +£60.
• Additional 256GB card: +£85.
• Optional radar: ask about compatibility and fitted price.
• Parking battery pack: separate quotation.
You keep the supplied 64GB card when buying an additional card. Rear camera and GPS are already included.
