IMAGE 
HIGH VIDEO QUALITY
Vivid Image capturing at 1440P QHD resolution. Capturing 4times more clarity than HD resolution, the Q1000 illustrates 1440p QHD front and rear
recording during both day and night.
 
WIDE ANGLE VIEW
Front View Camera – 150º
Rear View Camera – 156º
 
Get uncompromised video coverage with a 150-degree wide-angle view. Dewarping technology ensures that edge distortions typically occurring in footage filmed with a wide-angle are kept to a minimum.
      
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE
When you are driving under bright sunlight, coming out of a tunnel, or getting under the shadow of a tall building etc, a sudden change in frontal light exposure levels can result in excessively bright or dark recordings.The WDR function eliminates excessively bright spots on the recording to correct its color balance in order to ensure a clear image: HOW IT WOKS
 
NIGHTTIME PICTURE QUALITY CORRECTION
Images from the videos recorded during nighttime driving on dark streets are generally difficult to make out. The enhancement Sensors of THINKWARE DASH CAMs come with a standard function of brightness and color control as well as noise cancellation.
 
AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE
A sudden rise of light exposure caused by strong sunlight or headlight beams of oncoming vehicle may cause difficulties to assess the situation. Also, lack of lighting in a dark tunnel or night driving may pose the same problem. The automatic light exposure function controls the level of light exposure to maintain vivid and clear video recordings in all circumstances.

SUPER NIGHT VISION 2.0*
Dash cam Videos recorded in a low light environment such as dark alleyway or underground parking lot may not be clearly identifiable. SUPER NIGHT VISION uses ISP (Image Signal Processing) technology and the real-time image processing function to record clear, visible video in a low light environment when the vehicle is parked: HOW IT WORKS
*Requires Hardwiring Cable and installation for Parking mode (professional installation recommended)
 
SAFETY
FRONT VEHICLE DEPARTURE WARNING (FVDW)
When your car is stopped at an intersection or in traffic, the intelligent guidance system informs you that the vehicle in front has started to move, preventing a delayed response just in case you stop looking ahead.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
HIGH SPEED / URBAN FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (FCWS/ uFCWS)
Accidents can be avoided by maintaining a safe following distance. Road Safety Warning System in the THINKWARE DASH CAM calculates the real-time distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, while driving above 30 km/h in expressways or under 30 km/h in a busy city, and issues a 3-level early warning to the driver depending on the danger of collision.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS)
Drowsy or distracted driving greatly increases the chance of an accident on the road. The Lane Departure Warning System will alert the driver when the vehicle goes off lane in a speed over 50 km/h.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
SAFETY CAMERA ALERT*
The Safety Camera Alert function of THINKWARE DASH CAM actively alerts the driver of any photo enforcement locations on the route while still recording videos. THINKWARE Dash Cam provides active warning for these 5 types of road safety cameras:
Red Light: warning system for the red light. If there is light traffic ahead, camera will inform you. 
Speed camera: warning system for speed & red light cameras in 400 & 200 meters. It also tell you the maximum speed of the specific road.
Average speed: warning system for entering average speed zone (trajectory control). 
Mobile zone: the camera let you know areas which are used more often for mobile speed checks
.
 
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.
 
 
EVENT 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.
 
 

ENERGY SAVING MODE 2.0 & PARKING RECORDING MODE
The Energy Saving 2.0 is a revolutionary development of parking mode. With greatly reduced amount of electricity consumption, the dash cam will be at a standby up to 17.5 days / 420 hours. When you are away for a vacation or leaving your car for quite some time, energy saving parking recording is a recommended solution. When in use, the device will go to sleep and soon after an impact has been detection by built-in G-senor, it will wake up within a second and start recording for next 20 seconds of period.
.
 
 
 
 
 
PARKING SURVEILLANCE MODE
Parking Surveillance mode is automatically activated when you turn off the ignition, and captures footage when a motion or impact is detected so you have video evidence of mishaps like hit-and-runs while you’re away from your vehicle.






 
 
 
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.







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





 
 
 
 
 
TIME LAPS*
Important clips and images may get deleted due to insufficient memory space during long continuous recordings especially in standard parking recording mode which requires large memory for saving 15 to 30 frames per second. TIME LAPSE MODE in the F200 PRO records 2 frames per second reducing the size of the video file. This allows video recordings in parking mode to continue up to 10 times longer than the motion detection recording: HOW IT WORKS
*Requires Hardwiring Cable and installation for Parking mode (professional installation recommended).
 
VIEWER
PC/MAC VIEWER
This mode is activated automatically when you start the engine. Recorded videos are saved in one-minute segments with an auto-looping mechanism: HOW IT WOKS
 
 
APP
Your smartphone and theTHINKWARE DASH CAM can be connected via the exclusive application, THINKWARE DASH CAM LINK. Check download or delete recorded images, and configure dash cam settings.
 
 
OTHER FUNCTIONS
FORMAT FREE TECHNOLOGY
THINKWARE DASH CAM utilizes the FAT (File Allocation Table) system. This allows THINKWARE’s proprietary Format Free Technology to eliminate the need for periodical manual formatting of recorded video files on the microSD memory card. It also helps extend the life of your memory card. You can view recorded video files on any PC without having to worry about converting files. THINKWARE DASH CAM saves the hassle of manually clearing memory space.
 
 
 
COMPREHENSIVE DRIVING INFORMATION WITH GPS
With the internal GPS Tracker, the THINKWARE DASH 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 by providing you with the vehicle speed and the time of a collision, and the severity of impact. The video recording feature not only stores driving footages in case of an event, but it can also be used to track your holiday travel routes.
 
HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION SYSTEM
The specially designed heat discharge construction and the built-in thermal sensor of the DASH CAM protect the device and its data against intense heat by automatically turning it off to prevent overheating: HOW IT WORKS
 
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 – so you can be assured that your valuable data will be securely stored under any circumstances.
 
RADAR (optional)
Pair the Radar Module with a dash cam to extend its parking surveillance duration while reducing power consumption when set to Energy Saving Mode 2.0. The Radar will detect motion and allow the dash cam to prepare to save an event clip. If an impact is detected, a 20 second video (10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the impact) is saved in a dedicated folder on the MicroSD card. When no impacts are detected, the dash cam does not save the footage and resumes Energy Saving Mode 2.0.
Compatible with U1000, Q1000, and X1000
 
* Parking Surveillance mode requires Hardwiring Cable or OBD II Power Cable and installation (professional installation recommended).
* Energy Saving Mode 2.0 will disable all THINKWARE CLOUD features.
 
Energy Saving Parking Mode 2.0
The dash cam is on standby until an impact is detected. When an impact is detected, the dash cam wakes up to record a 20 second video.
 
Energy Saving Parking Mode 2.0 with Radar Module
The dash cam is on standy until a movement is detected. When the Radar Module detects a movement, the dash cam wakes up and gets ready to record. If an impact is detected, a 20 second video (10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the impact) is saved.
