Thinkware’s Various Recording Modes

All Thinkware Dash Cams come equipped with various recording modes that can be tailored to you. All Thinkware devices offer various Parking Mode options, which can be configured based on your needs. In addition to Parking Modes, Thinkware cameras all have Continuous, Incident and Manual Recording modes.

Continuous Recording – Records constantly while driving

When you power up any Thinkware Dash Cam, the camera will begin Continuously Recording.

• Automatically triggered by starting the vehicle's ignition with the Car Charger or the Hardwiring Cables.
• Records in 1 Minute Segments
• All cameras record simultaneously in a multi-channel system

Incident Recording – Begins an Incident Clip if an accident occurs while driving

Thinkware Dash Cams come standard with a built-in G-sensor, which detects impacts while on the road.

• Incident Recording Mode is combined with Continuous Recording Mode
• Built-in G-Sensor detects accidents
• When the sensor is triggered, the video file will be saved in the Event Recording Folder
• The Event Recording Folder saves only Incident Recordings, which makes locating that crucial accident footage easy.

Manual Recording – Manually begin a video clip when you see something video-worthy while driving

We recognize that some moments while driving are worth keeping; thus, all Thinkware Dash Cam models come with Manual Recording Mode.

• All Thinkware Dash Cams have an easy-to-access Manual Record Button
• When the Manual Record button is pressed, the Dash Cam will record a 1-minute clip
• Manual Recording Files are saved solely in the Manual Folder

Parking Mode – Records any incidents while away from the vehicle

All Thinkware Dash Cams come standard with Parking Mode built in. With Parking Mode enabled, you can put your mind at ease knowing that your vehicle will be protected while you are away.
