SAFETY CAMERA ALERT
Alerts the driver of upcoming speed and red light cameras.
GPS DRIVING DATA
Using the GPS data in Dashcam, it can precisely pinpoint the vehicle’s location and routes with its driving speed on the map.
The GPS helps you accurately assess the status of the accident by providing you with the vehicle speed, the direction of the collision and the severity of impact.
The DASH CAM not only records driving footage but can also be used to track and recall past driving routes whether it be work or holiday routes.
OPTIONAL FEATURES & ACCESSORIES
Additional features and accessories to enhance your Thinkware Dash Cam experience.
RADAR MODULE
Optional Radar Module is sold separately
When in Energy Saving Mode 2.0, the Radar Module allows the dash cam to extend its Parking Surveillance mode duration by reducing the power consumption. When a motion is detected by the Radar Module, the dash cam wakes up and gets ready to record.
If an impact is detected, a 20 second video (10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the impact) is saved in a dedicated folder on the MicroSD card. When no impacts are detected, the dash cam does not save the footage and resumes Energy Saving Mode 2.0.
Compatible dash cams: U1000, Q1000, and X1000
* Energy Saving Mode 2.0 will disable all THINKWARE CLOUD features.
*Radar motion detection requires optional Radar Module, and only enabled in Energy Saving Mode 2.0.
*Sedan or greater sized vehicle can be detected. People passing by will not be detected.
*Due to nature of Ultra-high Frequency radiation, the distance and degree of detection can be different.
*Not every object is guaranteed to be detected.

Dozens of calls and inquiries made about why my camera’s Road Safety features and Speed Camera/Red Light camera features do not work. Multiple cameras have been exchanged without solving my problem. Thinkware’s customer service is absolute rubbish. Never buying another Thinkware product EVER again. There are plenty of options on Amazon for cameras that are half the price and works as expected.

I can not review a product that was ordered December 22 and still not delivered by Jan 6th…..I don’t mind waiting -considering and understanding shipping issues right now, HOWEVER, your 15 day return policy is a joke and unacceptable. Very poor customer service regarding this policy. You expect us to wait indefinitely for our order but you make no accommodation on your refund policy.

Amazing customer service ! The dashcam is very easy to hardwire and the cable are long enough to put the cam where ever you want !
It’s easy to set up and links to your smartphone !

I can’t get the until to connect to the hot spot for some reason and would have been nice to have both ends of the rear camera cable 90 degree angles like the rear ….had I known I would have reversed it! Also a headliner mount option for the Toyota Tundra Crewmax would have been a nice option …..I haven’t downloaded any video to my phone but looking via wifi everything looks great

This is my second Thinkware dashcam. First one I had was a F750 front and rear with parking mode. It saved me a lot of money when a rear window defroster went out of control and blew my back window in my truck. Dashcam proved it was not my fault and Ford had to replace it under warranty. So far this one has been great. I also purchased the radar feature for parking mode which seems to be a great upgrade. Totally recommend any Thinkware product. With all the distracted driving these days this will prove if anything happens (knock of wood) that it isn’t my fault.

Hello There, thank you very much for your kind review on the U1000! We’re happy to hear you’ve enjoyed the F750, and now the new U1000!

I love the 24 hour surveillance with battery saving shut down if it needs to. The app is great so you do not have to always take the sim card out. I would buy again!
