THINKWARE’s new F100 2 Channel Camera is an affordable three option for consumers and drivers of commercial vehicles. The rear camera option allows drivers to have a clear view of incidents at the rear, recording HD 720p video at 30 frames per second. For taxi drivers, there is an IR camera (internal) option. It films inside the vehicle making taxi journeys safer for the driver and rider. The external camera option is weatherproof and captures any incidents at the rear, particularly useful for drivers of commercial vehicles. It also features Safety Camera Alerts when connected to the external GPS antenna, providing drivers’ regularly updated information on verified speed/red light camera locations and known mobile speed traps. In addition, with the exquisitely designed locking box, companies are assured of improper and unauthorized tamper of the SD Card and Power source.
The F100 is equipped with an Ambarella A12 chipset and Sony Exmor CMOS image sensor that records detailed full HD 1080p video at 30 frames per second, a 135-degree wide viewing angle and a built in Active Impact monitoring system. The THINKWARE F100 dash cam certainly fits a lot of features into its small and elegant design.
When hardwired, the F100 features Parking Surveillance Modes with Motion and Impact Detection. When triggered, the dash cam records 20-second video clips, ensuring car, van or taxi owners are able to capture incidents in parking mode for up to 48 hours. The built-in impact sensor, which detects the level of force when your vehicle sustains an impact, is a 3 axis G-sensor which has different settings for parking mode and continuous mode, as sensitive as possible whilst parked but less so whilst on the move to ensure it doesn’t record incidents every time the vehicle hits a pothole. All footage is instantaneously saved to a memory card reducing potential data corruption
The dash cams are also able to work in extreme conditions thanks to integrated Thermal Protection. If the temperature rises and exceeds a certain level, the Self Protection Shut Down function will automatically switch off the device to protect the camera optics. In the event of power loss during an accident, the dash cam’s fail-safe recording uses the Super Capacitor to ensure that any recordings in progress are stored securely, so you can be confident your data is safe. The F100 also supports format free file saving so there is no need to remember to regularly format the memory card.
When connected to the optional external GPS Antenna the F100 provides drivers regularly updated information on verified speed/red?light camera locations and known mobile speed traps thanks to the partnership THINKWARE has with award winning camera alert specialist, Cyclops.
The dash cam also allows for discreet installation due to its minimal size and black appearance. It can be placed behind the rear view mirror on the windscreen using 3M tape so the driver’s vision is not obscured.
THINKWARE is currently the No 1 brand in the Korean market and its award winning dash cam devices are now available in the UK and throughout Europe. It is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and since its inception has grown into a global brand with a reputation for bringing high quality, innovative dash cams to consumer and commercial markets throughout the world.
A THINKWARE representative comments “The THINKWARE DASH CAM F100 is a model that reflects customers' needs through enhanced and improved core features. Moreover, the Full HD recording feature provides one of the most essential functions to achieve safe driving.
