Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is just the 2nd dash cam I’ve owned. My previous unit is a 3-cam system, front, rear and cabin, has a screen which is super helpful and convenient, and I felt a non-starter necessity. I was reluctant in justifying the non-screen U3000Pro but there are a plethora of hardware upgrades, 3 years newer technology, dual radar, and dual Sony Starvis HDR sensors 4k30 2k30. Boy was this upgrade worth it, AWESOME. My wife is primary driver of the vehicle, and works in busy office park, where many an accident has been noted in the tight deck. Originally we had considered a Tesla , largely for the sentry parking record mode, but she chose Polestar 2 EV instead, with NO sentry mode which she’d been asking for about 3 years now. I had secretly hoped one of these primary dash cams first mfgs would integrate detection of police radar into the same device, (don’t ask) but Escort, Whistler and Cobra are radar detect first mfgs, with dash cam an oversight, and the roadmaps I’ve seen do not look to change that model. Installation is not as daunting as first worried. Our other dash cam takes up the cigarette lighter or the USB-C slot, here the inclusion of OBD-II is much preferred. Lack of a viewable screen does require that that you connect U3000 Pro and external mobile device to same Wi-Fi network (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz) since it’s needed to modify setup variables. Viewing on in-vehicle mounted iPhone or iPad, or pc via microSD is where superior video is immediately evident and clearly exploits weaknesses of the other vehicle dash cam. While a screen would be nice, this design is much more minimalist and sleek. I will say the ThinkWare app has a way to go, random disconnects prove quite frustrating among other idiosyncrasies. The best feature imho (ok, my wife’s humble opinion) is the sentry mode. She parks in her parking deck at a busy business park with tight spaces in an urban area. The ability to see events is invaluable, and 12v battery drain minimal. we leaned the U3000 pro does NOT keep cameras hot the whole time, instead it uses low-power radar instead and only triggers cameras to buffers recording 10 seconds before and after noteworthy subject is in proximity.

While the non-pro model is steeply discounted now, I would not suggest sacrificing HDR in BOTH cameras, helpful in low-light and also to reduce headlight glare. I do wish it had a screen, but if video quality is your goal, you’re unlikely to do better than dual Sony Starvis sensors. Dual-radar parking assist and sentry mode are an easy sell !! RECOMMEND: Strong Buy

I have used different brands of dashcams over the past 8 years, while each of these dashcams had its pros and cons, none of them was 100% the ultimate solution. Because I work in a very busy area and I park my car in a very tight parking lot where cars often bump into each other. I needed a camera with certain features that can serve the purpose such as high resolution, intuitive and fast connection, compact size, and ease of installation. After using this Thinkware U3000 Pro, I can confidently say it is one of the best options available on the market. The box comes with everything I needed to set it up: (Front camera, rear camera, rear-camera connection cable, OBD-II power cable for power + parking mode, windshield mount with 3M adhesive, heat blocking film, CPL polarized filter, cable clips / holders, microSD card 64 GB. I decided to use the OBD-II power cable because my car’s 12 V cigarette lighter outlet is inside the center console, which makes my wiring process nearly impossible. The OBD-II option, on the other hand, is also a peace of mind since the cable can be tucked alongside the windshield and down the door and then straight to the power port. After plugging everything in, I opened the Thinkware app and connected the camera using the on-screen prompts which were super easy and hassle free. Then I opened camera live-view and enabled the guidelines option (in green) to adjust and choose the best location of the camera before applying the 3m adhesive pad and the placing the mounting bracket, which is helpful. Once the front camera was mounted and everything was good, I ran the rear camera micro-USB cable (making sure to follow the labels). “F” end for the front unit and “R” end for the rear). Once connected, an audible prompt is played notifying me that the camera is restarting to apply the new setting. My first impression of this dashcam was excellent. The dashcam is well-built and feels premium. The main camera records in 4K and equipped with Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, which deliver sharp and clear footage in low-light conditions. In addition to HDR, that makes night vision super clear to the extent license plates are cleared captured. I went through every single section in the setting menu because most of the important features were turned off by default such as advanced parking alert, traffic light change alert, potential collision warning. These features are part of this Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), which delivers real-time safety alerts. Overall, the dashcam performs well and intuitively. When I park, the camera plays audible prompt to let me know that it entered parking mode and begin monitoring for motion or impact. The camera handles glare and bright lights better than any model I used before, especially with the help of the CPL filter. The camera has built in GPS and the fast 5 GHz Wi Fi makes connection between the dashcam and the smartphone noticeably fast. This Thinkware provides full safety, and protection features more than what I expected. The only drawback of this dashcam is the remote live-viewing feature that requires a separate purchase of LTE module, which means the only way to view live and access the recoded clips is by connecting the smartphone to the dashcam. This makes access less convenient compared to cloud features. Aside from that, this dashcam is excellent and performs exactly as needed. I think after using it for few days now, this Thinkware U3000 Pro is a powerful and dependable dashcam.

PROS: The best image quality I've ever had in a dashcam Sleek, modern-looking design Parking mode is outstanding with the onboard radar Nice blue pulsing light when there's movement that adds to the security feature of Parking Mode SO-SO: Price ($550) Can't have the (purchased separately) interior cam set-up with the LTE option. I'd love to have the option of a 3-way cam, with LTE, for added security CONS: The Thinkware App (used on Android). It's clunky, doesn't load live view consistently, and you'll have to dig through menus for important options Thinkware has a solid reputation in the dashcam market. Over the years, their dash cams have become a premium choice. Most of their offerings are recognized for their long list of features, including high-quality video, radar protection for parking, cloud connectivity, and modern designs. The U3000 Pro is their newest offering, and for the most part, lives up to the Thinkware name. The U3000 Pro isn't cheap. The intro price is $550, which is on the higher end of dashcams. Though in this case, they attempt to justify its higher price tag by focusing on impressive video quality. After all, that's the most critical aspect of any dashcam (or camera for that matter). Does it lead the pack of available dashcams in terms of video quality? It may be. During the day, the camera delivers clear, high-resolution video with excellent detail. Even in bright sunlight, the camera handles exposure fantastically. You'll be able to clearly see license plates, landmarks, and street signs, even at high speeds. The front camera captures a wide view of the road. And the rear camera helps you keep an eye on tailgaters and lane changes, minimizing motion blur and providing natural colors frame by frame. Again, the excellent image quality can't be expressed enough. This is the best quality I've ever seen on a dashcam. At night, the U3000 Pro shines as well. Its low-light performance is impressive, showing clear details where other cams might struggle with graininess or poor light management. It's clear, without distortion or artifacts disrupting the image. While most people get dashcams for protection against accidents and blame, another important aspect is knowing their vehicle is "looked after" while parked. Whether from an accident or car prowlers. For its Parking Mode, Thinkware adds a radar module that detects movement around your vehicle, making it superior to many other options. It starts recording only when it senses something nearby. Instead of constantly recognizing tree branches, it does an outstanding job distinguishing between people and cars, and not unnecessary objects. In everyday use, parking mode works effectively. Unlike less advanced cameras that send constant false alarms, you'll get important events without being overwhelmed by notifications. This helps with battery drain as well, but it's always a good idea to have backup plans when your vehicle is parked for long stretches (over a week, for example). The U3000 Pro is nearly perfect, but stumbles in a vital function. The app. It's not as user-friendly as most other dash cam apps I've used. Currently, the Android app has a rating of 1.6/5. That's a bad sign. The live video feature is inconsistent and doesn't load very easily. It doesn't happen every time, but it's enough to frustrate me. It might load quickly one time and not at all another. The app's design is outdated compared to others on the market. I had to dig through the settings to find how to activate my (purchased separately) LTE module. They may improve things now that this newest cam is available. I'm looking forward to it. Overall, the video quality, especially at night, is impressive, and the intelligent parking mode works well. I had Best Buy install the cam, so I needed them to uninstall the other one first. They were able to uninstall the old one and install this one within 1 hour and 45 minutes. The excellent image clarity is the most important, but even with that, the software could use some improvement. At this price point ($550), the inconsistent live video and clunky app make it a mixed bag for users. As premium as Thinkware makes their devices, I wish they'd work a little harder to smooth out the app experience.

After relying on dashcams in my vehicles for years and recently buying a golf cart, I thought it would be a good idea to invest in another one that had both front and back cameras, especially considering the crazy drivers we live around that don’t think my street legal registered golf cart belongs on the road. The THINKWARE U3000 Pro dashcamera stood out as a great option with premium features including a front 4K UHD camera paired with a wired rear 2K camera, super night vision, amongst a ton of extra features since it is considered one of their flagship models. Installation was simple and straightforward thanks to the included adhesive mounts and clear instructions. The THINKWARE mobile app simplifies initial syncing and set up of the camera via Bluetooth and WiFi. The software is intuitive and easy to use allowing for quick access to essential features without a steep learning curve. The front and rear cameras fit perfectly on the rails of our cart’s roll cage. The cameras are less bulky than other dash cams I have used in the past and will also work great on any other vehicle with the included selection of power cables. The cameras feels sturdy and built with quality materials which usually means it was built to last which is great considering both cameras will be exposed to the elements when not parked in our garage. The intuitive button layout and clear LED indicators make operation straightforward, even for first-time dashcam users. After powering it on and opening the smart phone app, I switched to live view to check out what the video looked like. Because of its high resolution 4K camera, the U3000 Pro captures crisp video with exceptional clarity that can capture license plates and road signs even from a distance. The wide dynamic range (WDR) and superior night vision technology further enhance image quality in challenging lighting environments. It has dual-Channel recording meaning it can simultaneously record from the front and rear cameras offering coverage of our cart’s surroundings. Some of the U3000 Pro’s other features include Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) which provides alerts for lane departure, forward collision warning, and front vehicle departure, protecting us from other drivers with heavier and safer vehicles we’re sharing the roads with. The Parking Surveillance function detects motion and impacts enabling continuous monitoring while our cart is parked giving us peace of mind against hit-and-run incidents or vandalism. It has built-in GPS that reads and records your speed and location data while videoing. Its built-in Wi-Fi allows for fast video downloads and firmware updates via the mobile app. Overall, the THINKWARE U3000 Pro dash camera was a perfect fit in my scenario and will also work and function great in a variety of other circumstances. Although priced higher than other dash cams in the market, the amazing video and additional features make it stand out amongst the competition. In my opinion, the investment in a great and reliable dash camera is justified and you can’t go wrong with the U3000 Pro’s advanced capabilities and peace of mind it delivers. For those prioritizing video clarity, smart features, and ease of use, this dash camera is highly recommended

The Thinkware U3000 offers safety and reliability needs for your day to day life. With crisp picture quality and live real time gps with speed tracking, this unit is sure to help keep you safe and out of trouble. Out of the box you get everything needed to get you going. The Thinkware app helps make start up and setting navigation a breeze. Diving right in to it you will notice that this set up is pretty similar to most out there. You get your forward and rearward camera with your rear camera bringing you 2K quality for better identification of your surrounding situation. Picture quality is superb during daytime driving with little to no motion blur and night time driving does a awesome job of utilizing low light conditions. Keep in mind even with modern tech night time driving still struggles around rural roads with extreme low light conditions. But where this unit in my opinion really shines is its ability to double up as a security cam and its real time gps tracking. Lets talk about the real time gps tracking for a minute. Lets say you get pulled over and were told you were doing 65 in a 30. The Thinkware U3000 connects directly to your vehicles OBDII connector which is a direct link to your vehicles computer. Through the app you can then pull up the exact location you were told you were speeding, which is then tagged by real time vehicle speed all pulled from your vehicles speed sensors, which is being reported to your cars computer. To argue against the vehicles speed past that point is to argue with the engineering of the vehicle output and speed output that is being sent to your vehicles speedometer. In a nut shell this makes for a really strong argument should you find yourself in a dispute over how fast you were going. The security feature side of this unit allows you to set up motion ranges on both the front and rearward camera which when triggered, will send a push notification to your phone along with a 5 second or so clip showing what triggered it. Impacts or tampering with your vehicle will create a push notification letting you know that it detected impact and all triggered footage is stored via the micro sd card for later viewing. At the end of the day this dash cam acts like most dash cams out there with two added features which im sure are to come in handy, the live gps/speed tracking and the back up security camera. If your a car guy who puts a lot of love in to your vehicle and can't go to a restaurant without consistently worrying about your vehicle then this is a must have.

Finally, after three different dash cams from three different brands over a few years, I have found one with the features I have been wanting. For Instance, a couple of my old ones claimed to be smart and monitor parking. Okay, but I had no way to connect to them unless I was in the vehicle. Then, when I did try it the experience seemed pretty useless. Now with the new Thinkware U3000 pro I can actually get an LTE modem for it and monitor my vehicle from anywhere with an internet connection with my phone, which is pretty much anywhere these days. Not only that they have the option to buy an extra external battery pack designed to be wired into your vehicle's fuse box in line with your dashcam, so that while using the parking mode, you do not drain your car battery. The Thinkware U3000 Pro is the most thoroughly thought-out dashcam I have ever seen. Some other features are the OBD 2 port power cable plug, designed to integrate with your vehicle's computer for the smart parking surveillance modes. When I saw the heat blocking film and the CPL filter, I knew that a lot of attention to detail was given to the design of the U3000 pro and when I saw that it had Sony Starvis 2 sensors with HDR for both the front and rear cameras, I knew they were serious about quality as well. I have always been a bit perplexed at the video quality of previous dash cams and with the Sony Starvis 2 cameras, the quality is there. If that was not enough to impress me, there is also an advanced driving assistance system that warns you of the proximity of vehicles in front of you and alerts you when the traffic light changes from red to green. The parking mode operates via the built-in radar on each camera front and rear to monitor for movement that will activate the camera needed. While the U3000 Pro does not have a screen like my previous dash cams it does have larger easier to find buttons to activate recording and other functions which are indicated by lights with different colors and you can use the app to view any recordings. I am very happy that I was able to get my hands on a U3000 Pro and I appreciate the attention to detail and the well-thought-out accessory line. Dash are very important because they can prove that you are not at fault in an accident and can help you win in accident case by proving the other party at fault by having the whole incident recorded.

This Thinkware U3000 dash cam is very well built and arrives well packaged with everything needed for installation. To begin setup, you’ll need to download the Thinkware DashCamLink app, there’s a QR code provided for easy access. One important note: the camera can only be powered through the OBDII port. If you’re not familiar with it, the port is typically located under the steering wheel or near the fuse box. Once you plug in the OBDII cable, the dash cam powers on immediately and walks you through setup with voice prompts. I recommend turning the car on during installation, otherwise, the camera enters parking mode and won’t let you connect through the app. Follow the quick start instructions to pair the dash cam with your phone. The live view feature is extremely helpful for positioning, and the on-screen grid lines make it easy to keep the camera level. Mounting is simple thanks to the 3M adhesive on the camera bracket. The included 64GB microSD card and adapter also make it convenient to transfer recordings to a laptop. After mounting the front camera, you can connect the rear camera using the provided cable. The trickiest part of the installation is managing the wiring, especially since some interior panels hide airbag components, so caution is essential when tucking cables away. Performance-wise, the camera has been excellent. The video quality is impressive, with options for 2K or 4K resolution, and the audio recording feature is great for rideshare drivers. I personally keep voice recording off, but it’s nice to have the option. The dash cam also monitors your vehicle while parked, capturing video if motion is detected, useful for hit-and-run incidents. You can review footage through the app, and remote access with alerts is also available if you keep the dash cam connected to a dedicated hotspot (though not the same phone you use for the app). Overall, this dash cam is a solid choice, it offers strong performance, impressive video quality and a lot of useful features. In the box, you’ll find the user manual with a quick start guide, the front and rear cameras, all necessary cables, an SD card kit, mounting accessories, a heat-blocking film, and a CPL lens filter.

I just installed this on a newly purchased used vehicle. The install was a breeze and the included OBD2 port hardwire kit made it even nicer. I've always wanted to try a thinkware dash cam set up and I'm glad I selected this u3000 pro kit, I really like the light blue LED scanner feature as a added theft deterrent and or camera warning sign. Install took me roughly about an hour taking my time, but this isn't my first dash cam install it's actually about my fifth as I've done a few for myself as well as family. I like that with this kit think where included a hardwire kit I only wish it was a true hardwire kit to the fuse panel with addif uses versus the OBD2 port but it works and it works fine so far. I really like the parking mode with a built-in radar the front cam has a great picture in the rear isn't bad either. My one and main complaint is the thinkware app it's just lacking when compared to the many other brands I've used in currently have in vehicles. There's just not as many options and it takes longer to connect and tweak compared to the other brands I've used. I do like that thinkware includes a micro SD card, Even though I didn't use it I installed one four times the size that I already had. This dual cam setup is very nice with a plethora of built-in features my one major complaint would be is there's no included display for the user to adjust the settings without using the app. Every other dash cam I've ever used at least includes a small display for dash cam menu and setting tweaking.

Thinkware's U3000 Pro is a most welcome addition to my vehicle's security and the image quality is what stands out the most. I replaced the current dash cam I had in my daily driver with this U3000 Pro and feel like it was worth the switch. In the box is a plethora of items that might seem scary for a 1st time do it yourselfer, but once you sort it all out, it isn't that bad. You get the front and rear cams, OBD2 power cable (love this vs the 12V if you don't hardwire), a super long connecting cable for the rear and front cams, lens filter, 64GB micro SDXC card, quick start guide and a TON of mounting hardware/pads. I would recommend a professional or Best Buy installing it for you, unless you are comfortable with wiring, panel removement and cable management. After taking about 20 minutes to remove my old camera, I prepped and mapped the area where I wanted Thinkware's cams to go. Having already ran and cables from the front to the rear, this part was a lot easier for me. This time around though, I love the power option Thinkware has given us. Instead of a normal 12V connector that plugs into the old school cig lighter port, you have the OBDII cable that plugs into the area where mechanics use to get car diagnostics. With the power cable, you can choose (after selecting what type (EV/Fuel Combustion) of car you have, to use the Parking option or not. What this does is if on, you get power even if the car is off so that you can still have monitoring if you are not around and the onbard radar I believe is amazing so you get less false positives. This also is used to save battery life too. If off, then the cams are only running when your car is too. One hiccup I ran into is completely my own fault. When everything was being powered on for the 1st time and setting up with the App, I had an infinite loop of the camera asking for an SD card, formatting required, formatting complete and restarting. This was on me, as I tried to go all out and use a legit 1TB card, but it turned out to be incompatible. I ended up switching to 512GB instead and it worked perfectly and setup was able to continue. Sorry, but 64GB for me personally is too small of a capacity. Now on to where the U3000 Pro shines, video performance. In the daytime, video quality lives up to Thinkware's claim and is super crystal clear. 4K front and 2K rear is a major upgrade I was used to from my previous cams of 1440P front and 108-P rear. This alone helps justifies the price tag (though currently on sale at time of review) and makes it worth it. I got to really try out the video quality all week as my trip to and from work require me to leave the house when the sun isn't out yet and leave when the sun is shining at full brightness. Light or Darkness the clarity is stunning. I can see when reviewing footage license plate numbers and distant signs/exits in great detail. During the dark, as long as a headlight wasn't shining directly to my face, the low-light image clarity is perfect. I could see while in traffic again license plates with no issues. The app itself is meh at best. You would think with such a high quality camera line up, the App would look polished as well. When you 1st use it, setup is great, going one step at a time to make sure all the kinks are worked out. Even there is a nice calibrating feature where the perfect spot for the cam can go. But that's about that. Menu is clunky and it's an adventure when trying to find or watching camera footage. It's very convoluted.

Have you ever had to run into a store or friends place while double parked and spent the entire time checking your phone? This product will make immediate sense. What about parking in a visitor spot without a pass? Maybe leaving your car at the mall and wondering if someone’s testing door handles? That background stress adds up, and the Thinkware U3000 Pro is built to greatly reduce these things. The easiest way to describe it is this is to think Ring or ADT, but for your car. Between parking enforcement, hit-and-runs, break-ins, and speed or red-light cameras, the cost of one bad day can easily exceed the price of this system. For me, the trade-off is simple. Peace of mind and reliable evidence are worth it. With LTE connectivity and Live View, you can check on your vehicle from anywhere there’s internet access changing how you think about leaving your car unattended. What’s in the box Inside the package you get the U3000 Pro front unit, rear camera, 3M adhesive windshield mount with extra tape, CPL filter, heat-blocking film, adhesive cable clips, OBD II hardwire harness, trim tool, and a 64GB microSD card. The included card works, but realistically, 64GB fills up quickly with 4K footage so upgrade to at least 256GB if you want multiple days of recordings without overwriting. Unboxing and first impressions Everything comes neatly packed and organized. Nothing feels cheap. The cameras themselves feel solid, and even the cables and mounting tape feel high quality, which matters when you’re trusting something to sit in a hot windshield year-round. I installed this in a 2024 Dodge Durango and had more than enough cable length, even after taking the time to hide everything cleanly along trim panels and headliner edges. The kit is clearly designed to work across sedans, SUVs, and trucks without forcing you to stretch wires or improvise routing. The field of view is wide at 147 degrees in the front and 156 degrees in the rear, which does a good job of covering adjacent lanes and parking angles. Smart Parking Mode is also well thought out. When temperatures climb too high or battery voltage drops, the system shifts into a low-power mode to avoid draining your battery. There’s also an Energy Saving Parking Mode that records only when an impact is detected, which dramatically extends how long the camera can stay active while parked. Installation and setup Installation is straightforward if you take your time and think things through. With this package, anyone can be a DIYer. I recommend loosely routing the cables and test-mounting both cameras first. Connect to the camera through the app and register it. Use the alignment overlay to make it easier to mount the front camera and properly level it to ensure capturing the right field of view. After confirming everything works, permanently mount the cameras, unplug them, and route the cables cleanly back to the front U3000pro. From start to finish, the install took me about one to one and a half hours, depending on minor distractions and occasional app connection delays. I tested everything on both Android and iOS, and both platforms worked reliably once connected. The real standout here is the OBD II hardwire harness. This alone sets the U3000 Pro apart for DIY installs. There’s no fuse box hunting, no multimeter testing, and no guessing which fuse stays hot during parking mode versus ignition. You plug it into the OBD II port and you’re done. It probably saved me at least 30 minutes of troubleshooting. The harness uses only the necessary pins, and the materials feel high quality, so there’s no concern about sloppy power delivery. App experience This is where the experience becomes more mixed. You need two separate apps: Thinkware Dashcam Link for viewing and interacting with the camera, and THINKWARE CONNECTED for cloud features. If you want real-time alerts, Live View, or cloud backups, a subscription second app is required. If you run into connectivity issues, deleting the camera from your phone and re-pairing it from scratch usually resolves the problem. The app is required if you want to view footage without a computer, but if you do have a computer handy, using an SD card reader is actually easier. The file structure on the card is clean and well organized, making it easy to find specific events without searching endlessly through clips. Cloud access and subscriptions This is the biggest downside of the U3000 Pro. Previous Thinkware models offered cloud access over Wi-Fi and I loved that for my home. With home Wi-Fi I could see what's happening around my car. That option is now gone with the release of the Pro. Now, cloud functionality requires LTE hardware and a paid cloud subscription. To use cloud features, you must purchase the LTE model, which runs about $150, and then pay for a monthly or yearly cloud subscription. The LTE modem includes three years of SIM service. If cloud backup matters to you, expect ongoing costs . SD card formatting issue One frustration I ran into is what happens when you install a new SD card. If the card isn’t formatted, the camera won’t boot correctly. You’ll hear “Memory Card Error, please format card,” the unit reboots, and you don’t get enough time to connect via the app to fix it. The workaround is simple but poorly documented. You must format the SD card directly on the unit by pressing the [REC] and [Wi-Fi] buttons at the same time. This should be clearly explained in the Quick Start guide or added to the voice prompts, especially since most users will upgrade to a larger card for 4K recording. Things to know Traffic-light change notifications alert you when lights turn green. Cloud access now requires two subscriptions: LTE connectivity and the CONNECTED app, with no Wi-Fi alternative. Supports microSD cards up to 512GB and uses H.265 HEVC compression. There’s no AI or voice control for hands-free clip marking. Compatible with both iOS and Android. Uses dual Sony Starvis 2 sensors with 4K front and 2K rear recording, and includes dual 60GHz radar sensors for intelligent, energy-efficient parking surveillance. Speed and red-light camera alerts are included, though they can be slightly conservative by a few MPH. Low-light performance is excellent Built-in GPS records speed, time, and location. Live monitoring, impact alerts, and vehicle tracking. Things I’d like to see improved Voice commands for basic actions like starting a recording or locking a clip would be a welcome addition. Backlit buttons would help during nighttime adjustments. A CPL option for the rear camera would reduce glare The frequent “Please have a safe drive today” voice prompt could be toned down (currently only turned off). Overall, the Thinkware U3000 Pro delivers outstanding video quality, strong parking surveillance, and one of the easiest hardwire installs I’ve ever completed. The subscription model and lack of Wi-Fi cloud access are real deal breakers for some, but if security, evidence, and peace of mind are priorities, this system still delivers where it matters most.

I have owned many dashcams, and lately been updating my vehicles with dashcams that use a OBD-II power cable to keep the dashcam active while parked. The Thinkware U3000 Pro also includes a rear camera and I wanted to see how it performed. After installing the cameras and loading the app, I was ready to start testing this dashcam. The dashcam has a voice intro, once starting the vehicle, which I ended up disabling. I was impressed with the quality of video and accessories Thinkware provides for this dashcam. A polarizing filter is provided for the front camera and optional accessories can be purchased to provide flexibility for the users needs. There is a USB-C port on the front camera which can be used to add an LTE module or an interior infrared camera. During testing the dashcam, I was impressed with the image’s clarity. I choose not to use the polarizing filter since the quality of the video was so great without it. I took a screenshot from the app, but the image quality did not match what I could see (see photos). This dashcam is built in a way to make it customizable for many needs, and I would recommend it for anyone in the market to help protect themselves and their vehicle.

Excellent dash cam with outstanding video quality. The front 4K and rear 2K footage are very clear, even at night, and the built-in GPS and dual radar features add extra peace of mind. Setup was straightforward, and the app connects easily to my phone. Solid build quality and feels very reliable so far. Would definitely recommend.

[Employee of bestbuy] Thinkware cameras may cost but the peace of mind that i have is worth it. the reason i gave it 4 out of five is because of the app. they should really work collaborate with another company on app development. The when logging in with the THINKWARE DASHCAM LINK it does some things but then it has to access an outdated thinkware app to do anything with the file if you want to see them or use them. This is my 4th Thinkware product. The current app is better than the last so they are moving in the right direction but it should still be better.

This is a really good dash cam. Provides excellent front and rear images. Easy to connect to your phone to download content. Also easy to set to "adventure mode" if you want to record an offroading adventure. Great product.

good picture. bought this one for the parking mode and it does the job.

I bought this after someone hit my car in a parking lot and took off, causing lots of damage. So far so good. Image quality is good and has lots of different settings if you want more than just a camera. I especially love the park mode, and it tells you when you get back in the car if there were any events that occurred while you were parked. It's also very small, front and back, and does not intrude on your line of vision at all.

Awesome parking mode easy accessibility I have tried many dash cams the THINKWARE is the best by far

Lte module is a must, installation was not so bad and hard wire to a fuse box was very easy.

Top of the line,one of the best dash cams on the market to

Best Dashcam ever hands down! They’re a little pricey but trust me it’s worth it
