It’s a simple way to ensure you never lose any important footage.


GEO FENCING & VEHICLE LOCATION

Stay up to date with your vehicle’s location. Simply set the address via postcode or pin point on the map and choose a zone from 100m up to 600km. Then if the dashcam leaves the area it will send a push notification to the app. The location is updated every 10 seconds and you can manually check the current location, speed and heading via the intergraded Google Maps feature on the Cloud app.


REMOTE LIVE VIEW

Watch what is happening in real-time whilst the vehicle is in Continuous driving mode for up to 300 minutes per month, this allowance resets on the 1st of every month. (Live View Resolution 768x452p at 15fps). Your dashcam can also send you an alert when the camera has detected a impact whilst in parking mode.


IMPACT NOTIFICATIONS

Track the safety of the driver with Strong Impact Notifications. When the Dashcam detects a big impact, The camera will send an alert notification to anyone logged on to the same Thinkware account with the impact location. A 20 second video, 10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the incident will then be uploaded to the cloud server allowing users to download and view via the app.


 
The Thinkware Cloud features will only work when the vehicle ignition is on and the dash cam is in Continuous Driving Mode. The Thinkware Cloud App must be downloaded to the Smartphone and an account must be registered. The dash cam must be connected via hotspot to a smartphone or wifi dongle that is located within the vehicle at all time to use the Cloud Features. This requires an internet connection with data available. Carrier fees and charges will apply.


SUPER NIGHT VISION 2.0

The Thinkware camera uses advancements in lens and computing power to revolutionize night time recording with their Trademarked Super Night Vision. The system uses ISP (Image Signal Processing) technology and real-time image processing to capture far greater detail at night. The 2.0 version now allows for use in Continuous Mode as well as the original Parking Mode


PARKING SURVEILLANCE MODE

Parking mode is a feature of dash cams that are either hardwired or using the OBD2 Connector. This allows them to continue recording while your car is parked and turned off. All Thinkware dashcams continuously monitor the health of the vehicle’s battery and will shut down if it detects any issues.

Motion Detection

Monitor and capture any motion around the vehicle for potential vandalism attempts.

Impact Detection

Monitor any impact to the vehicle while it is parked to catch any hit-and-run driver in the act while you are away.


MULTIPLE RECORDING MODES

CONTINUOUS RECORDING MODE

This mode is activated automatically when you start the engine. Recorded videos are saved in one-minute segments with an auto-looping mechanism.

INCIDENT RECORDING MODE

The Active Impact Monitoring System will automatically store the video data ten seconds prior to and after a collision registered by the 3-axis G-Sensor.

MANUAL RECORDING MODE

Similar to a video camera, you can use the Manual Recording Mode to capture events that occur in front of your vehicle whether or not it is in motion.

FAIL-SAFE RECORDING

In the event that the power gets disconnected after an accident, the fail-safe recording uses the Super Capacitor for backup power to ensure safe storage of any recording in progress.

GPS MAPPING

With GPS, all Thinkware dash cams can record the vehicle’s driving speed and provide its precise location and routes identification on the map. The GPS Tracker helps you to accurately assess the details of the surrounding area. The PC/Mac viewer can then provide you with the vehicle speed and the time of a collision, and the severity of any impacts.


PC / MAC VIEWER

The intuitive and simple-to-use interface of Thinkware Dash Cam allows you an easy and convenient viewing of your recorded videos. Through 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 on the viewer.


WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE

Avoid overexposure in your Dash Cam footage when experiencing sources of bright light whilst driving, keeping your footage clearer. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is technology that allows the dashboard camera to capture a clearer image in a strongly contrasted environment. It can solve problems such as intense contrasts of light sources. In the event of a sudden change in frontal light exposure, such as when driving into or out of a tunnel or driving directly into bright sunshine, the Wide Dynamic Range function will eliminate excessively bright spots on the recordings.


HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION SYSTEM

Protects your dashboard camera from overheating and causing potentially irreversible damage to it or its data. The specially designed heat discharge construction and the built-in thermal sensor of the dash cam protects the device and its data against intense heat by automatically turning it off to prevent overheating. All Thinkware cameras use a Super Capacitor, designed with Temperature Protection, for an emergency power source in the event of a crash or sudden power loss, allowing the unit to save the last 10 seconds of an incident.


FORMAT FREE TECHNOLOGY

Avoid corrupt memory cards and the slow process of having to reformat your SD Cards with the free flowing recording system.

One of the most common issues with a Dash cam’s reliability is the SD card, these cards are continuously overwritten and often become corrupt if not formatted often. This normally means that you have to remove the SD card and put it into a computer to reformat it. Thinkware have overcome this vulnerability by making the dashcam pre-allocate the memory, avoiding the need to format the SD card on a regular basis and making the footage easily viewable on our Thinkware viewer software.


TIME LAPSE PARKING MODE

Catch any potential bumps, scrapes and other incidents by recording footage from your vehicle when you are not nearby. Timelapse mode records at 2 frame per second (FPS) to reduce the size of the video file. This allows the dash cam to record longer than other dash cams whilst in parking mode.


ENERGY SAVING MODE 2.0

The improved energy mode further reduces power consumption and provides even longer video recording than our original energy-saving and parking modes. When you are away from your car for an extended period of time, energy saving parking recording is a recommended solution.

When in use, the device will go to sleep and after an impact has been detected by the built-in G-sensor, it will wake up within a second and start recording for the next 20 seconds.

Ask a Question
: A dash cam starts creating video files on an empty memory card. These video files are typically segmented into 1, 3, or 5 minute chunks, since it is easier to view and work with small video files on your computer rather than one long continuous file. When the memory card is full, the dash cam simply starts over at the beginning of the memory card, and in this way, never needs any attention from you until you have captured an incident on video that you would like to save. This is known as "loop recording", and is one of the most important abilities of dash... Read more

You can't explain that! Just kidding. Dash cams record video to a removable memory card inside the camera itself. Any time your car is on and the dash cam is plugged in, it is acting as your backup witness. Dash cams automatically start recording when they are powered on, and stop recording once you turn your car off. Note: Some dash cam models have the ability to keep recording even while the vehicle is parked! This is known as "parking mode".

Once you have purchased a dash, in most cases this is all you need to do to be up and running:

  • Insert a memory card.
  • Attach the suction-cup mount to your windshield.
  • Plug the power cord into the power source (cigarette lighter or other).
  • Done! Since recording is automatic, just drive your vehicle like you normally would, and enjoy the fact that you are now "protected by dashcam"!.

    Please note that the above is applicable to plug & play dash cams.

Yes, there are several types of dash cams, and while they come in all shapes and sizes, they may be classified into a few distinct categories (click on any category link below to open a new browser window to that category of dash cam): Single-lens dash cams (for forward-facing recording) Dual-lens dash cams (for front + rear recording) Dual-lens dash cams (for front + inside recording) Professional dash cams (for commercial or governmental fleet vehicles) Single-lens dash cams are the most basic type of dash cam. These record from a single camera lens, like a normal camcorder. Typically people mount these dash cams in their front windshield in order to record what is happening in front of the car. Dual-lens dash cams are a bit more complex. These dash cams can record from more than one camera lens at a time. Typically they utilize one forward-facing lens to record what is happening in front of the vehicle, and one inside-facing lens to record what is happening inside the vehicle. These are particularly useful for fleet or commercial vehicles where typically the driver of the vehicle is not the owner of the vehicle. There are also dual-lens dash cams for front + rear such as the BlackVue DR750S-2CH that record in front of the vehicle like a single-lens model, but also use the input from a smaller remote camera (a camera mounted in the back of the vehicle - on the rear windshield) to record what is happening behind the vehicle as well. Professional dash cams are commercial-grade models designed for business use (fleet vehicles, taxis/Uber/Lyft drivers, delivery trucks, etc) or other commercial, municipal or government purposes. These high-reliability units are also desirable to those individuals seeking the added peace of mind that comes from using a professional-level device in their own... Read more

Dash cams, or dashboard video cameras, got their name due to originally being mounted on the dashboard of vehicles (mostly police cars). Now, most dash cams mount to a car's windshield with a secure and easy to use suction cup mount or strong adhesive pad.
