Enjoy round-the-clock protection for your vehicle with the Thinkware Obd2 Constant Power Cable. This innovative accessory provides a simple “plug and play” solution to power your Thinkware dashcam continuously, even when your engine is turned off. By easily connecting to your vehicle’s on-board diagnostic (OBD) port, this cable ensures your dashcam remains active, providing peace of mind and constant surveillance.
Hassle-Free Installation: No Hardwiring Required
The Thinkware OBD2 power cable is specifically engineered for user-friendly installation. Forget the complexities of traditional hardwiring methods that involve panel removals and intricate wiring. This cable offers a truly seamless integration, allowing you to effortlessly activate the built-in Parking Surveillance Mode on your compatible Thinkware dashcam. Simply plug the OBD2 connector into your vehicle’s OBD-II port, and you are ready to go. This easy setup makes it a perfect DIY upgrade, saving you time and potential professional installation costs.
Unleash 4 Parking Surveillance Modes
Once connected, the Thinkware OBD2 cable empowers your dashcam to operate in parking mode, automatically initiating approximately 2.5 minutes after your engine is switched off. This delay accommodates vehicles equipped with stop/start technology, ensuring smooth transition into parking surveillance. Benefit from a comprehensive suite of parking protection features:
Motion Detection
In Motion Detection mode, your Thinkware dashcam intelligently monitors for movement around your vehicle. Upon detecting motion, the camera instantly wakes up and starts recording for 20 seconds, capturing any potential incidents or suspicious activity.
Impact Detection
The advanced Impact Detection system utilizes a highly sensitive 3-axis G-Sensor. If a collision or impact is detected while parked, the system automatically triggers recording, saving crucial video data from ten seconds before and after the event. This ensures you have a clear record of any parking incidents.
Time Lapse Mode*
Maximize your parking mode recording efficiency with Time Lapse mode. This feature efficiently minimizes video file sizes by recording at 2 frames per second without audio. This method compresses extended periods into shorter video files, for example, a 10-minute duration is condensed into a 15-second video, allowing for significantly longer parking surveillance footage on your memory card.
Energy Saving Mode*
For extended parking surveillance while minimizing battery drain, Energy Saving Mode is ideal. In this mode, your dashcam enters a sleep state, drastically reducing power consumption. It remains vigilant, however, and instantly awakens and begins recording for 20 seconds upon impact detection by the built-in G-sensor, ensuring crucial events are still captured.
*Available on Select Dash Cams
Important Compatibility Note: Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
Please be aware that due to the unique powertrain configurations of hybrid and electric vehicles compared to traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles, the Thinkware OBD2 cable may not be fully compatible with all hybrid and fully electric models. Therefore, we currently do not recommend this cable for use with vehicles such as the Chevy Volt, Tesla Model 3, or Toyota Prius.
For hybrid or electric vehicle owners seeking to enable Parking Mode functionality on their Thinkware dashcam, we recommend utilizing the Thinkware Direct-Wire Cable (sold separately). This direct-wire kit provides a reliable alternative for parking mode activation in these vehicle types.
