Dashcam specialist Thinkware has debuted its new Connected Service for the UK market.
Revealed at the CV Show, the new solution makes monitoring, downloading and accessing recorded footage easier than ever through a dedicated service.
It’s available on the company’s Q1000 and T700 dashcams and offers a variety of features to aid with fleet management, as well as protecting both drivers and vehicles.
The Remote Live View function enables users to view real-time footage of their vehicles in both ‘continuous recording mode’ and ‘parking mode’ with a click of a button. If an accident does occur, the SOS emergency contact messaging feature will automatically communicate with the registered emergency contact number via SMS – this can also be done manually via the SOS button on the dash cam. The SMS contains the vehicle location on Google maps plus a short video clip of the event. For individual customers, the SMS also includes the driver’s mobile number, so that an emergency response centre can call them to offer assistance.
The Real-Time Parking Impact detection also protects your vehicles while parked by detecting impacts and notifying the driver via the app. The dashcam will automatically save footage 10 seconds before and after impact that can be accessed easily and remotely via the mobile and PC applications.
The Vehicle Status & Driving History function monitors the vehicle’s motion status, including vehicle battery voltage check. It also monitors driving history, with data analytics on driving behaviour and travel history with date, time and distance of journeys.
The Thinkware dashcams can be managed locally via WiFi using the bespoke app and users can also upgrade and update their firmware and speedcam data remotely via the Connected app to maintain optimal operation.
The Thinkware Connected Service consists of three different modes to provide tailored solutions. The ‘Enterprise’ option provides all-in-one service for enterprise customers that is ideal for fleet management. There is also ‘Smart’ mode for individuals who want the most value for money and ‘Home’ family-orientated offering that allows for up to five members.
