Operating Instructions

The Thinkware Rear View Camera operates in conjunction with a compatible Thinkware main dash cam unit. It does not operate independently.

• Automatic Recording: Once connected to the main dash cam and the main unit is powered on, the rear camera will automatically begin recording in Full HD 1080p resolution.
• Dual-Channel Recording: The rear camera provides a second channel of recording, capturing events from the rear of your vehicle simultaneously with the front camera. This offers comprehensive coverage.
• Parking Mode (Requires Hardwiring): If your main dash cam is hardwired for parking mode, the rear camera will also participate in parking surveillance, detecting motion and impacts from the rear while the vehicle is parked.
• Video Playback: Recorded footage from the rear camera can be accessed and viewed through the Thinkware mobile app or PC viewer software, similar to the front camera footage. Ensure your main dash cam is connected to Wi-Fi or removed for SD card access.
• G-Sensor and Motion Sensing: The camera utilizes the main unit's G-Sensor to detect impacts and motion, triggering event recording for critical incidents.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Thinkware Rear View Camera.

• Lens Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the lens.
• Mounting Check: Occasionally check the adhesive mount to ensure the camera remains securely attached to the rear window. Re-apply if necessary.
• Cable Inspection: Inspect the connecting cable for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure it remains neatly tucked away.
• Firmware Updates: Keep your main Thinkware dash cam's firmware updated, as this can sometimes include improvements for connected accessories like the rear camera. Refer to your main dash cam's manual or the Thinkware website for firmware update instructions.
