Pair the Radar Module with a compatible Thinkware dash cam to extend its parking surveillance duration while reducing power consumption when set to Energy Saving Mode. The Radar will detect motion and allow the dash cam to prepare to save an event clip. 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.

  • Moon detection: Adding the optional Radar Module enables the dash cam to detect movement and record events leading to an impact while remaining in Energy Saving mode, so you have video evidence of the whole incident with footage of before and after the impact.
  • Detection distance range: Approximately 7m (23ft)
  • Thinkware Cloud: Thinkware Cloud Features are not available while the Dash Cam is in Energy Saving Mode
  • Disclaimer: The Radar Module does not detect motion smaller than a vehicle. Not every object is assured to be detected.
  • Disclaimer: Metal Objects may cause the radar to not detect properly. Install Radar Module as far away as possible from metal parts of the rear view mirror/ADAS sensors.
  • Compatibility: U1000, X1000, Q1000 Dash Cams
Whats Included
  • RADAR Module

Q: Is the Thinkware Radar Module compatible with all Thinkware dashcams?

A: It is compatible with U1000, X1000, and Q1000 dashcams.

Q: How much does the radar module weigh?

A: This radar module weighs 0.131 pounds.

Q: Does this radar module have a screen?

A: No, the radar module does not include a screen.

Q: What is the primary function of this radar module?

A: The radar module allows your dashcam to detect motion and record incidents while in Energy Saving Mode, preserving battery life.

Q: What is the detection distance range of this radar module?

A: The detection distance range is approximately 7 meters (23 feet).

Q: why does it say that it does not fit my vehicle? I have a Honda Passport 2019 and the U1000 front and rear camera kit says it fits my vehicle but the radar module which just plugs into the U1000 says it does not fit my vehicle?

A: Hello Bobby, To answer your question: To our knowledge, the Radar can fit in your vehicle with no issue as it was created to be a universal fit for all vehicle makes and models! Thank you!

Q: Is it applicable for both front and rear camera?

A: I only needed to buy one Radar Module for my vehicle. From what I can tell, it's installed beside my front camera. I was lucky to have techs at my install site know what they were working with since one of them used the Thinkware cameras specifically on their personal vehicles. I have an Arc700 Thinkware front and rear camera, so my guess is that since the Thinkware produces video for front and rear at the same time, it records as movement is detected, and locks the recording if it determines that there was an "incident" to the vehicle, giving about 20 seconds of footage before and after something passes.

    Extra Detection for Thinkware Dashcam

    The additional radar module helps the existing Thinkware dash camera detect movement for parking recordings, and as I can tell, it works well. It basically results in recording events leading up to an "incident" as told by the dash camera's app. It was compatible with my dash camera so I wanted to add it to my installation.
