Thinkware has introduced a new dashcam with time lapse mode for recording while parked, and 'super night vision' for recording while dark.

The X550 camera features ‘Super Night Vision’ mode, which is optimised for dark parking environment, delivers up to 10 times more brightness than existing products in the market due to new image signal processing (ISP) technology and real-time video processing function.

The ‘Time Lapse Photography’ mode features an improved video storage method, allowing it to record the details of the parked vehicle continuously for almost two days, as opposed to relying on the g sensor and motion detection to record incidents with regular parking mode.

The camera also includes Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)’, which alerts drivers when swerving out of lane, the front vehicle departure warning (FVDW) informs drivers when the vehicle ahead is moving off and the front collision warning system (FCWS) advises drivers of when to brake by calculating the speed of your vehicle and that of the front vehicle in real time.

CEO Heung Bok Lee said: “We are delighted to be launching the X550 and are confident that UK consumers will love the new features we have introduced. The necessity for and interest in dash cam technology is growing rapidly throughout Europe and we believe this will be an increasingly important market in the years to come.”
