Thinkware M1 Radio Interference

M1 Interference

Dash cameras have become an essential component of modern-day driving. They not only help to capture evidence in case of an accident but also provide a sense of security and peace of mind to the driver.

The Thinkware M1 Dash Camera is one such device that offers high-quality footage and reliable performance. However, like any other electronic device, the Thinkware M1 Dash Camera may encounter some radio interference issues based on the installation location that can affect its performance and functionality.

In this article, we will discuss some of the common interference issues and how to fix them.

What causes Interference on the Thinkware Sports M1?

Interference can occur due to a variety of reasons, including electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby electronic devices or radio frequencies, power supply issues, and environmental factors like temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

1. Check the Power Source

One of the most common reasons for interference with the M1 Motorsports Dash Cam is an unstable power source.

If the power source is not providing a steady voltage, it can cause constant rebooting of the system. Ensure that the Hardwire Connection to the Fuse Box is secure.

2. Check the Main Unit Mounting Position

The mounting position of the Main Unit of the M1 dash camera can also affect its performance. If the camera is mounted too close to other electronic devices like a GPS unit or a phone, it can cause electromagnetic interference.

To avoid this, mount the camera away from other electronic devices and ensure that the mount is secure and stable.

3. Check the Remote Control Mounting Position

The mounting position of the Thinkware M1 dash camera's remote control can also impact its performance. If the remote control is mounted too close to other electronic devices, such as a GPS unit or a phone, it can cause electromagnetic interference, which may affect the remote's ability to function properly.

If possible, test by moving or remounting the M1 Remote Control.

4. Check the Firmware Version

Another reason for interference could be an outdated firmware version. Make sure to check for any available firmware updates on the Thinkware website and update the camera to the latest version.

6. Check the Temperature

High temperatures can also cause interference with dash cameras. Make sure to avoid remaining in direct sunlight for long periods of time or in areas where the temperature is high.  Test the system when cooled down to see if the behavior changes.

Summary

In conclusion, the Thinkware M1 Dash Camera is a reliable and high-quality device that can provide valuable footage and evidence in case of an accident. However, interference can affect its performance and functionality. By following the tips mentioned above, you can fix interference issues and ensure that your dash camera is working correctly.
