Common Thinkware Dashcam Accessories Installed
IVOLTMN Thinkware External Battery
The Thinkware iVolt Mini External Battery Pack (IVOLTMN) is a premium accessory designed to enhance the functionality of Thinkware dash cams, making it an essential addition for drivers seeking extended parking surveillance without compromising their vehicle’s battery health. This compact, high-performance battery pack utilises Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) technology, which is safe for in-vehicle use due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and resist combustion, unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries.
With a capacity of 4500mAh, the iVolt Mini powers a single-channel Thinkware dash cam for up to 20 hours or a dual-channel setup for 16 hours in parking mode, significantly extending recording time compared to a standard hardwired setup, which typically lasts only 8 hours before the vehicle’s battery protection settings intervene. Its super-fast charging capability—reaching a full charge in just 45 minutes while driving—ensures your dash cam is always ready to capture critical footage, making it ideal for busy professionals, rideshare drivers, or luxury vehicle owners in Australia who prioritise safety and convenience.
F100IR HD IR Cabin Camera
The Thinkware F100IR HD IR Cabin Camera is a specialized interior-facing accessory designed to complement Thinkware F100 and F200 Series front dash cameras, offering high-definition surveillance of a vehicle’s cabin.
The F100IR provides significant benefits, particularly for professionals in transportation and fleet management. Its infrared capability ensures crystal-clear recordings in complete darkness, making it invaluable for capturing evidence of incidents like passenger misconduct, vandalism, or theft during nighttime operations.
The wide-angle lens minimises blind spots, providing comprehensive cabin coverage, which is crucial for rideshare drivers seeking to document interactions for dispute resolution or insurance claims. When paired with a Thinkware hardwire kit and the iVolt Mini External Battery, the F100IR supports extended parking mode surveillance, recording events triggered by motion or impact without draining the vehicle’s battery.
Thinkware Dash Cam Setting: Parking Mode
Parking Mode Surveillance Enabled
Thinkware’s parking mode operates when the car’s ignition is turned off, automatically switching the dash cam from driving mode to a low-power state to monitor the surroundings. The system requires a hardwire kit (e.g., Thinkware Hardwiring Cable, HWC) or an external battery pack like the Thinkware iVolt Mini (IVOLTMN) to provide constant power, as most Thinkware dash cams use a super capacitor instead of a built-in battery.
Once activated, the dash cam enters one of several parking mode options, recording footage to a high-endurance microSD card (Class 10, U3, 32GB–256GB), we recommend at least 128GB based on our experience and expertise. The footage is saved in a dedicated “Parking” folder to prevent overwriting by loop recording, and users can access it via the Thinkware app, PC Viewer, or GPS Player.
Features of Thinkware Parking Mode would include motion detection, impact detection (G-Sensor), time-lapse, energy-saving mode, smart parking mode, cloud connectivity and night-vision. Of course features will vary from model to model; always check with the merchant/supplier.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install a Thinkware Dash Cam in my car?
Setting up a Thinkware dash cam, such as the U1000 or F200 , entails positioning the device behind your rearview mirror, linking it to a power supply—either through the cigarette lighter or a hardwire kit (preferably the latter)—and inserting a Class 10, U3 microSD card with a capacity ranging from 32GB to 256GB (we recommend at least 128GB). To enable advanced functionalities,s parking mode functionalities such as motion detection and time-lapse recording, you’ll need either the hardwire kit. Our skilled technicians take care of the entire installation process, including discreetly routing cables and connecting to the fuse box, ensuring a flawless integration customised for your car.
Do I need professional installation for a Thinkware dash cam?
Basic setups using the cigarette lighter are DIY-friendly that anyone could do, but a professional installation is recommended for hardwiring to enable parking mode or for multi-channel systems (e.g., Q1000 with rear camera or F100IR cabin unit). Hardwiring allows you to enhances battery management (less likely to drain your car battery), record even during times where you are parked, frees up your 12V cigarette lighter along with other benefits.
What is required to enable Thinkware’s parking mode?
Thinkware’s parking mode (available on U1000, Q1000, F200 Pro) requires a hardwire kit and an optional iVolt Mini external battery (4500mAh, ~20 hours for single-channel) to supply constant power and have access to extra power. An external battery is not always needed, in fact, majority of installations won’t even require one, it just depends on your power consumption based on your driving habits and car accessories. Furthermore, a high-endurance microSD card (32GB–256GB) is also needed. Once installed, just simply access your Thinkware settings to optimise however you like, generally toggling between frame rates, image quality, sensitivity and so on.
Can I install a Thinkware rear camera outside the car?
Thinkware rear cameras are not waterproof and are designed for interior mounting on the rear windshield from the interior. Exterior installation risks weather damage and are not suitable.
