2-4. Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Briey press the ADAS button to turn the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) feature on or o.
Audible warning noties the driver in real time when the vehicle is leaving its lane. This warning is only enabled
when the vehicle is traveling above 50km/h (approx 30mph)
Each time the vehicle ignition is turned o, the dash cam will revert ADAS settings back to system: ON.
2-5. Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS)
Briey press the ADAS button to turn the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) feature on or o.
Audible warning noties the driver in real time to avoid possible rear-end collision when the vehicle is ahead
is slowing or stopped. The warning is only enabled when the vehicle is traveling above 30km/h (approx 20
mph)
Each time the vehicle ignition is turned o, the dash cam will revert ADAS settings back to system: ON.
Recorded video les are saved in the folder by date and hour in the MicroSD card.
Files are created based on the time when the videos are recorded.
As a loop-recording surveillance product, the dash cam will
automatically overwrite oldest le in the memory card once
the memory is full. However, event recording and manual
recording videos are stored in separate locations and will be
protected from le overwriting.

2-7-1. Continuous Recording Mode
Videos are recorded in 1 minute segments and saved as les
in the MicroSD card under the folder named “cont_rec”.
2-7-2. Incident Recording During Continuous Recording Mode
When the dash cam detects impact, it will immediately store
the 10 seconds prior and 10 seconds after impact.
The 20-second impact recording is saved on the MicroSD card
under the "evt_rec" folder.
Please note that the dash cam will only detect impact as an
incident if the level of impact is greater than the sensitivity
level of the G-Sensor.
You can change these levels in the user conguration.
┗ The default setting for G-sensor is 2. Changing the G-sensor setting is not recommended.
2-7. Recording Videos While Driving
Driving over speed bumps, manholes, or uneven roads at high speeds can also be detected as an impact
and may trigger incident recording.
The device can record up to 1 minute of incident recordings in the case of continuous impacts or multiple
accidents.
The duration of incident footage recorded may vary according to the device settings.

2-7-3. Dual Save
TM
(Internal Memory Backup)
Dual Save is a Thinkware proprietary technology that utilizes built-in memory as secure backup in addition
to MicroSDmemory card. Dual Save technology guarantees incident video recording using internal memo-
ry in case of an accident that causes damage to the MicroSD memory card.
┗ Press and hold REC button and button at the same time for 3 seconds to copy incident record-
ing from internal Dual Save memory to MicroSD memory card.
┗ Dual Save will immediately store the previous 4 seconds prior to impact and start recording video for
next 2 seconds for total of 6 seconds.
Dual Save technology saves duplicate copy of recorded video for secure backup to the internal memory
so the internal memory life span may be aected by G-sensor user setting, road conditions, and driving
behavior which directly impact frequency of incident recordings.
Driving over speed bumps, manholes, or uneven roads at high speeds can also be detected as an impact
and may trigger incident recording.
Professional product service is required when replacing the internal memory.
Cautions

2-8-1. Incident Recording
When the dash cam detects impact while parked, it will
immediately store the 10 seconds prior and after the
impact.
The 20-second impact recording is saved on the MicroSD
card under the "evt_rec" folder.
2-8-2. Motion Detection Recording
The dash cam is equipped with motion detectors which initiate video recording while parked.
When the dash cam detects motion while parked, it will immediately store the previous 10 seconds prior to
the activation of motion detection start recording video for the next 10 seconds.
- The 20-second motion detection recording is then saved on the MicroSD card under the folder named
"motion_rec".
2-8-3. Time Lapse Recording
Time Lapse Recording captures at one frame per second during parking. This allows the dash cam to reduce
video le size to allow more footage to be stored on the MicroSD card.
Impact Detection is enabled for Time Lapse Recording. When the dash cam detects impact while parked, it
will store the 3 minutes and after a parking incident for a total of 6 minutes.
- The recording is then saved on the MicroSD card under the folder named "motion_timelapse_rec".
Motion Detection Recording and Time Lapse Recording cannot be used at the same time.

Basics
02
Briey press the REC button to start recording. The device
will record video for 1 minute (10 seconds before and 50
seconds after) as of the time when the button is pressed.
The recorded video will be saved under the “manual_rec”
folder.
Note that when manual recording is initiated, the previous
10 seconds prior to pressing the button will be saved so
even if you just missed a scene, you can still capture and
safely store the video by initiating manual record within
10 seconds of the event.
2-9. Manual Recording
In addition to recording accidents, the dash cam allows the user to initiate manual recording mode to cap-
ture scenery and/or places while driving. This feature can also be used to save video as witness where the
installed vehicle is not directly involved in an accident. Video les saved during manual recording mode are
stored in a separate location on the memory card and will be protected from video overwriting in continuous
recording mode.
When the allocated storage for manual recording videos is full, oldest video le will be replaced by the new
