Safe on the Road The Thinkware Dash Cam X550 is equipped with the Road Safety Warning System that provides audio and visual alerts for Lane Departure (LDWS), Front Collision (FCWS) and Front Vehicle Departure (FVDW). It detects road markings and gives voice warnings to the drivers if the vehicle begins to stray from its lane or when it is at risk of an imminent crash.
Such advanced technology that once could only be seen in the best luxury sedans is now available in our dash cams to provide convenience and safety while aiding drivers on the road:
Front Vehicle Departure Warning (FVDW) - Inform drivers when vehicle ahead is moving off.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) - Alert drivers when vehicle strays out of lane.
Front Collision Warning System (FCWS) - Alert drivers when approaching too closely to the vehicle ahead to avoid collision.
Safety Camera Alert Exclusive safety feature from Thinkware - The Safety Camera Alert powers Thinkware Dash Cam to be on continuous alert for photo enforcement locations on your driving routes while recording high quality videos at the same time.
Thinkware Dash Cam provides active warning for these 5 types of road safety cameras.
Red Light Warning System
Speed Camera Warning System
Red Light & Speed Camera Warning System
Average Speed Warning System
Mobile Zone Warning System
Red Light / Speed Camera / Red Light & Speed Camera Warning System With the built-in GPS and safety camera location database, Thinkware Dash Cam actively monitors the vehicle location to inform you of approaching traffic enforcement cameras such as red light cameras and speed cameras along your way.
Voice guidance together with visual alert** on the dash cam screen will alert drivers of any approaching traffic enforcement cameras along the route. Thinkware Dash Cam employs a two-step warning system where the first warning will provide distance remaining from your current location to the camera location and the second warning will alert you when you reached the exact traffic camera location.

Best Image Correction Technology Your car is subject to diverse conditions and environments, whether driving at night, under strong direct sunlight, or entering and exiting a tunnel. The X550 has various image correction processes such as WDR, Super Night Vision, Smart AE and many other functions that are optimised for the product, leaving you with a clear and accurate footage under all circumstances.
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
When you are under direct sunlight, as you exit from a tunnel, or when you are overshadowed by high-rises, objects can appear too dark or too bright causing over or under exposed images. X550's WDR can remove the brightest part of a recorded video and adjust the overall balance to give a clean image. * The WDR can cause degradation in clarity while correcting the exposure. Please make sure to set it properly before use.
Super Night Vision (Nighttime Picture Quality Correction)
If there is no street light while driving at night or if it is too dark to detect an object, it may be difficult to judge the exact situation surrounding an incident. X550 has the Super Night Vision as a default function, which removes noise and adjusts brightness and colors at the sensor.
Smart AE (Automatic Exposure)
If you are driving under strong sunlight, or face a strong headlight from a car approaching you from the rear, it makes it hard to identify the licence plate. When driving in a tunnel, the darkness may make the situation difficult to understand. X550's Smart AE always ensures ideal exposure and superb image quality in any lighting conditions.
Mounted 2.7" Clear Display On the LCD screen of the Dash Cam, you can check real-time and recorded videos, change the settings and format your memory card. Using the 2.7 inch clear display, you no longer have to connect to a PC, MAC or smart device; you can simply perform these tasks in your car. X550 display has optimal specifications for displaying clear and sharp images.
2.4 Million Pixel High Resolution Image Sensor The 2.4 million pixel high resolution SONY Exmor CMOS image sensor can greatly improve the quality of night time images as well as day time images. Now, everything in front of X550 becomes brighter and clearer.
140° Wide Angle The highly precise optical glass lens records all surrounding images around your car, without missing a movement, while minimizing distortion. The 140°wide angle lens can record both front and side situations of the car.
Strong Processor, Ambarella A7 X550 utilises the best CPU with high specification applied in sports cam for its smart performance. It minimises power consumption while providing optimal performance. X550 is a globally competitive Dash Cam that can reliably support major functions such as Front/Rear Full HD Ultra-high Quality Recording, Dual Save, WDR, Super Night Vision, Smart AE and others.
Vivid Driving Information Based on the Built-In GPS Using the GPS data in X550, it can precisely pinpoint the vehicle's driving speed, location and routes on the map. The GPS helps you to accurately assess the status of the accident by providing you with the vehicle speed, the direction of collision and the severity of impact. The video recording feature not only store driving footages, you can also use them to track your holiday travel routes with family and friends. When your teenagers drive your car, they can review the routes and the driving data to improve on their driving techniques as well. * X550 comes with a built-in GPS.
The New Standard For Dash Cam Selection : Dual Save This technology is specially designed to save recorded footage in both Micro SD and NAND Flash Memory when a certain level of impact is detected. This is particularly useful if the Micro SD card is removed or damaged due to the impact of a collision. With the Dual Save Technology that also saves footage in the NAND Flash Memory, you do not have to worry about it getting lost or damaged. You can immediately check the video saved in the NAND Flash Memory on the X550 Clear Display or copy it to the Micro SD Card and check it on the PC or MAC viewer. * Dual Save Technology is activated when a certain level of impact is detected as long as it is connected to a power supply (The impact detection threshold can be adjusted according to user preference).
Accelerometer G-Sensor The X, Y, Z axes of the G sensor allow you to measure fluctuations in gravity, speed or rotation. At a glance, you can understand the axial movement and impact during an accident.
Viewer for Checking Clear and Precise Video With smart functions and interface kept simple for first time users, Thinkware Dash Cam allows you to easily and conveniently playback recorded videos. Through PC or Mac viewer, you can playback rear and front videos, and download recorded videos with information on your driving history and speed. With just a few clicks on the viewer, you can change the dash cam setting, format the memory card or update the firmware.
Supports Various Recording Modes and Auto Mode Switching It supports various recording modes depending on whether the car is in driving or parking mode (continuous recording, incident recording and motion detection recording). Using the hard wiring power cable, which is directly connected to the car power system, you can automatically switch between the continuous recording mode and the parking mode without turning the power on/off.
Continuous Recording The continuous recording mode powers on automatically when you start the engine. While driving, you can continuously store all the footages as one-minute video files. There is no need to charge or replace the battery.
Incident Recording Using the gyro sensor, which is not included in Action Cam, you can detect impacts to your car while driving or parking and record them separately. The camera constantly records images when you drive your car. It starts recording footage 10 seconds before impact and stores it safely.
Motion Detection Recording If an object passes in front of the vehicle, Dash Cam automatically starts detection and records motion. Without additional changes to setting, it can automatically detect and record a person approaching the parked car, whether to vandalise or steal from the car.
Manual Recording While driving or parking, press the button to immediately start manual recording. Use manual recording when you want to record special mementoes with your family or loved ones.
Automatic Switching between Parking Mode and Continuous Mode After the car engine stops, it will assess the voltage condition in the car and automatically switch to parking recording mode. In parking mode, motion detection recording is activated and incident recording is maintained. When you start the engine in parking mode, it will automatically switch to continuous recording mode without turning on the device. * If you mount the continuous power cable, it supports automatic switching to the parking mode and motion detection recording function.
Recording Time Thinkware Dash Cam allows you to set the recording time. Depending on the battery condition and the weather, you can adjust it from 1 hour up to 48 hours, for car safety.

Easy Installation and Usage
Anyone can activate and control the Thinkware Dash Cam X550 easily with a few simple buttons and cable connection ports. Even if you are a first time user, you will not face any problem with installation and understanding the controls.
Easy Mounting and Firm Fixing
Use the 3M tape to easily mount the Dash Cam. The rear camera can rotate up to 360° and easily be installed, regardless of the vehicle model or interior items (indoor curtains, etc.)
* Advantages of the 3M tape
The camera may vibrate when using a suction cup, but when using a 3M tape, it firmly secures the camera to the screen so no vibration is generated. While a suction cup can be obstructive and block the driver’s view, the 3M tape is highly discreet, providing you with an unobstructed clear view. When the car faces impact, the suction cup may move. However, 3M tape firmly attaches to the screen regardless of impact, low or high temperature. While minimising reflections from the car window, the 3M tape allows users to firmly attach it to their desired spot.
Automatic Temperature Sensitive Shutdown Protection
Specially designed heat-discharging structure and high-temperature-blocking functions safely protect the product and its images stored under the strong sunlight. If the temperature rises and exceeds a certain level, the SELF-PROTECTION SHUTDOWN function will automatically switch off the device to protect the stored videos.
Secure FAIL-SAFE RECORDING
Even if the power is automatically turned off, the recorded video is safely saved. If the power is turned off accidentally due to a car accident or malfunction, or if the power supply to the dash cam is blocked, you can use the FAIL-SAFE RECORDING to safely preserve the videos being recorded. Now, even if the dash cam power is turned off accidently, you can still safely view the recorded video.
