Superb 4K Resolution with Super Night Vision

The Thinkware U1000 Dual Channel Dash Cam features a 4K Ultra HD at 30FPS front camera that is switchable to 2K QHD at 60fps to deliver crystal-clear, high-quality footage. Together with the 2K QHD rear camera provides high-quality footage of on-the-road incidents, especially when trying to read license plates from a distance.

It has a new 8.24-megapixel Sony STARVIS Image sensor for an improved Night Vision mode, which reduces noise and enhances image quality in low-light conditions. Many 4K cameras don't perform that well at night, so the U1000 is ahead of the competition in this regard.

Free Thinkware Anti-Glare CPL Filter included for enhanced colour clarity and improved light exposures at all times.

Minimalistic, Non-Distracting Form Factor with Rotating Camera

Breaking away from the design that Thinkware utilized for its previous flagships, the U1000 comes in an elegant yet stealthy black-and-silver casing that is virtually invisible from outside the vehicle. The camera lens is rotatable to accommodate a wide range of windshields and mounting angles.

Integrate thermal protection with a thermal sensor protect the U1000 and preserve its reliability in extreme temperatures.

Get 3X Longer Parking Surveillance

Energy Saving Parking Mode 2.0 takes energy saving efficiency to the next level. It uses ultra-low power of 7.8mA, reducing power consumption by 1/3 less and giving you 3x longer video recording than typical parking mode, whether it is motion or impact detection.

For those looking for the ultimate parking protection, the optional RADAR sensor an extend parking coverage even further while still offering pre-event/buffered footage.

Free Thinkware Hardwiring Kit included to unlock parking surveillance out-of-the-box.

NOTE: Certain makes/models of vehicles (BMW specifically) may require an extended hardwiring kit if the fuse box is located in the trunk. Please contact us if you need a hardwiring kit extension service.

Will never ever used this service again

I bought the dash cam because they mentioned OBD will compatible most of the devices. I tesed on my camry 2018 and grand highlander 2024 and parking mode is not working. I told them device maybe defective and they told me to hardware it instead of give me the solution.

Do not buy this garbage: BEWARE

If you want to overpay and be stuck with a almost no features as advertised, this is the camera for you.

Literally buy any other brand. The apps for this are so ungodly bad it renders everything pretty much useless. Anything you want to view will take a decade. One of the apps you'll be unable to use as it refuses to register the camera.

All those great features you wanted? Nada.

Only thing worthwhile is the ODB power option, outside of that, again, spend your money on literally any other camera w Starvis 2. You will be much happier.

Works as explained

The time it takes is a bit long for each step and seems to not to stay connected for a long time (might be a cell issue though), but not auto detecting and connecting to Hotspot with out help every time is a pain in the ......
