Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the U1000 4K Front and 2K Rear Camera Dash Cam's excellent video quality, ease of use, and parking mode features. Many appreciate the clear picture and convenient setup, while some find the app needs improvement and the price point to be high. The built-in GPS and radar are also highlighted as positive features by some users. However, concerns were raised regarding the app's user-friendliness and the device's susceptibility to overheating in hot climates.

    Worth The Investment

    Purchased in early January and have had three months of use. All features performing as advertised and extremely pleased. There is a "learning curve" for a first time user of a webcam (that's me) and I found Thinkware customer support to be fantastic. The cam was installed by Geek Squad and I would give them four stars. They didn't install "exactly" where we discussed on the windshield, but did so once acknowledged. Whoever you have install, review beforehand the installation guidelines available from Thinkware so there will be no misunderstanding.

    So far so good with this dash cam. Video is very clear for a dash cam. Don't expect the same quality as you would from a normal 4K camera or even your phone camera. It may be a 4K dash cam but there are other sacrifices dash cams make in order to keep file size low.

    I purchased this camera system for my Cadillac because I liked the design. I also read the reviews and it seemed to have a lot of great positive reviews. I also went on YouTube and took a look at the reviews and they all were positive. It took me a little time to install of the system properly but the results were well worth it. I would recommend this system to anyone who is looking for a reliable and easy to use camera system.

    Great camera, hate the app interface and how it connects to the phone. Not user friendly. The adhesive that came with it is terrible for the rear camera. I had to pull it all off and replace it with a 3M strip.

    I used to have a Cobra dashcam but it would be stop recording when it was too hot. The Cobra dashcam usually miss many videos so I choose this 4K Thinkware dashcam. The GPS include is the best function really helpful for me.

    Camera quality is great, app is useless. Don’t expect it to do anything other than record locally. I’ve exchanged 43 emails with tech support to fix this and I still am unable to connect with their advertised cloud or see a “live view”.

    Boy, trying to set everything up is a 'real pain in the rear'. The provided instruction are useless (61 pages), so you actually have to contact the Support people. Video is great, though.
