Dash Cam (dashboard camera) is a specialized on-board surveillance camera that is designed to monitor and record driving incidents. Mounted to the windshield, the camera turns on automatically upon starting ignition, and actively records video footages with an auto-looping mechanism. It has real-time impact detection, whereupon sensing impact, the camera stores the incident footage in a secure location for later reviewing purposes. The footage can then be used as a form of supplementary evidence for insurance purposes, while protecting the driver against insurance frauds and hit-and-runs.

Questions & Answers
"What kind of Info
do you need for a Quote?"
If you can send us Year, Make and Model of your vehicle + with the type of Dashcam you wish to purchase, we will be able to provide you with an exact quote. Installation cost differs by vehicle's complexity and size, so we definitely need informations about your vehicle.
"Will my Battery
going to be okay?"
When you purchase a Dashcam, you need to figure out if your product has "Battery Protection" function (included in our Thinkware Products). If this function is available, your Dashcam will automatically shot off when your Battery hits the certain voltage of your choice (shuts off when battery is weak). When your car is parked, your Dashcam will not be on for 24/7, but will turn on and record when there are any impacts or motion detections; This will save your battery and SD memory.
"Why does Dashcam
record in Short Clips?
It is normal for Dashcams to "not" record continuously in one long clip. But it will record short time of period continuously to save your footages from unexpected corruptions. This is because if one long clip irrupts, then the file of entire situation will be gone. So even if one file corrupts, you will still have remaining clips with the rest of situations recorded.
"Can I bring my Own Dashcam
for you to install?"
Yes we can install customer provided Dashcams. But we would high recommend to purchase from us, because both Dashcam and installation warranty can be provided. But if you purchase Dashcam from other places, you may be a blessing to get manufacture warranty from the shop you purchased, but not the installation warranty. You need to pay for removal and re installation of the Dashcam.
