Customers are pleased with the video quality, parking mode, and ease of use of the U3000 4K UHD Front and 2K QHD Rear Dash Cam. The built-in GPS and radar are also appreciated features, contributing to the overall positive performance. However, some customers have noted that the app can be slow.
Records superior 4K front and 2K rear footage thanks to Sony’s new STARVIS 2 sensor combined with a more powerful Ambarella CPU and an adjustable bitrate. Front view angle is 152-degree, and rear view angle is 128-degree.
Extend parking surveillance duration with Radar Parking mode, an ultra low-powered recording mode that utilizes the U3000’s built-in radar* to monitor motion and impact while parked (requires hardwiring or OBD-II cable).
Super Night Vision 4.0 takes advantage of Sony STARVIS 2’s advances in high sensitivity and low noise technology to capture clearer footage in low-light conditions.
Built-in Bluetooth enables quick pairing of your Android or iOS smartphone with the Thinkware Link App.
Built-in dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi provides high-speed data transfers in iOS and Android smartphones.
Connect to a hotspot or Wi-Fi network, and use the Thinkware CONNECTED app for live remote monitoring. Receive impact alerts with video uploads, and locate your vehicle on your Android/iOS smartphone. (Internet connection is required, data charges may apply)**
Helps you stay safe on the road with alerts for potential forward collision, lane departures, and front vehicle departures. If a vehicle tailgates you, the dash cam will alert you of a potential rear collision and save a video clip of the incident.
The built-in GPS antenna tracks the speed, time, and route history of your vehicle, and enables the dash cam to alert you of upcoming red light cameras and speed cameras.
With hardwiring or OBD-II installation, enjoy parking protection against potential mishaps and hit-and-runs by capturing footage when an impact or motion is detected. Choose from Impact/Motion Detection, Time Lapse, or Energy Saving parking modes.
Time Lapse in Parking Surveillance mode records footage at 2fps, enabling the dash cam to continuously record long periods of uninterrupted footage without increasing power consumption.
Energy Saving in Parking Surveillance mode records footage triggered by impacts only, allowing the U3000 to reduce its power consumption and remain in Parking Mode for a longer duration
If the interior temperature of the car becomes too high during Parking Surveillance mode, the dash cam automatically activates its low-power recording mode to prevent heat-related damages (requires hardwiring or OBD-II cable).
Provide added safety and reliability in extreme temperatures.
Anti-file corruption technology with Format Free 2.0 improves the reliability of your Thinkware memory card and extends its lifespan by minimizing the risk of lost footage due to bad blocks and data corruption, thus also eliminating the need to format the card periodically.
HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding) format can compress high-resolution video files 1.7 times more efficiently than the Advanced Video Coding (AVC) format, minimizing video file size while still retaining the original video quality.
Supports memory cards up to 256GB.
*The distance and degree of detection by the radar may differ. Not every object is guaranteed to be detected by the radar.
**Thinkware Connected features are unavailable in radar and energy saving parking modes as all network data functions are turned off to reduce power consumption.
