    Great picture. Would love a smaller package.

    I can front load this review by saying I enjoy the camera and it's features but I just wish it came in a smaller package. On my car, centering the camera results in taking up a not insignificant portion of my visibility because there's a big piece of dash behind the mirror. Other than that, though, it's a great dashcam. Setup is only has difficult as the installation for you. Setting this up in a brand new car that I'm not super familiar with was a challenge to find places to hide the wires. Plugging into the OBDII port is nice since you don't have to attach to the right fuses and such (There is still a kit sold separately if you'd rather hard-wire that way). So just depending on your car and how hidden you want all the wires (especially the wire running to the rear view camera) is going to determine how tough the actual install is for you. There's included sticky pads (and extras) for both of the cameras as well as a sun shield that can reflect the sun so it's not beading straight onto the hot part of the camera. Connecting the dashcam to the app is fairly nice using the standard "Link" app. I'm always a fan of an app that doesn't require a login and the regular Thinkware Link app just connects straight to the dashcam without the need for any unnecessary accounts. Dashcams that get out of your way and you don't really think about them being there are the best. You'll get some alerts on this one depending on what settings you have but most of them are things you can disable if you don't need them (like if your car already has front end collision warnings). Accessing the live feed of the camera warns you that it'll directly connect to the dashcam via wifi and then once you get connected, you can see both the front and back cameras. There's guide lines on the front camera for you to adjust where the top of your hood is. The live camera has about a second or so delay which isn't too bad in my opinion. If you're not into 30 fps video (at 4K), you can change the video settings to 1440p 60 fps as well. You can use the app to access all of the recorded videos which is probably the way I'll access them for the most part but if you want to use your computer, the videos are all saved in folders according to what kind of shot they are. Incidents and manual recordings are separated. There's a lot of different categories where things can get saved so it's pretty well organized if you need to browse things on a computer to find exactly what you're looking for. The video quality is really good during the day and about as good as you can hope for at night. The extra automatic HDR gives you a really nice contrast that helps see things like words a lot clearer than most dashcams I've ever seen at night. This goes for both the front and back cameras. All said, this is a great dashcam with great picture quality in both directions. The feature set is very customizable and exhaustive for a dashcam and the only negative thing I can say about it is just that the front unit just takes up a little too much visible space on my windshield. The app is easy to use and doesn't require a login. I can highly recommend this unit.

    Amazing Quality

    The Thinkware U300 Pro 4K UHD Front and 2k QHD Rear Dashcam is absolutely one of the greatest out there. With the built-in GPS and so many other amazing features, it actually makes me want to remove my other two dashcams and purchase two more of these. While I’m still learning how to use all of the features, this thing has a user interface that is fairly simple and easy to use. Overall, I think this is the dashcam to get, it states it has built in speed and red light camera warning systems, but fortunately for me, I live in an area that has not implemented those quite yet (Hopefully never). Overall, the video quality is pretty good. Keeping the 4k at 30fps is good. I like 60fps, but if you want the 4K, you need to understand that the fps has to be lower. We just installed this in our vehicle, and with the way people drive today, I can tell you it's worth having. It’s not hard to install at all. It does come with everything you need. One thing I would like to point out is, when purchasing a micro SD Card, don’t cheap out, the UHS IIs and the write speeds are where you will need to be, it will matter in the end.

    Capable Dash Cam with Great Features—Not Perfect

    I recently installed THINKWARE U3000 PRO 4K UHD Front and 2K QHD Rear Dash Cam in my car, and I can say it delivers on many of its promises — it’s a good-value dash cam, especially given its feature set. Setup was straightforward: the built-in GPS, dual RADAR, and Wi-Fi pairing all worked as advertised, and the device slotted into my car without much fuss. Video quality is impressive — front 4K and rear 2K footage from dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors gives sharp, clear images day and night, and the wide viewing angles help catch details like license plates or street signs. THINKWARE EU | Official Site +2 Best Buy +2 The integrated radar + parking-surveillance modes also stand out. With motion and impact detection, buffered recording before and after events, and built-in thermal protection, I feel more secure both when driving and when parked. The Wi-Fi and mobile-app compatibility (on iOS and Android) make it easy to connect and download footage when needed. PR.com +2 THINKWARE US | Official Site +2 Still — it’s not without flaws, which is why I’m only giving it three stars. The biggest downside is that some of the extra features feel a bit locked behind optional accessories or setup requirements — for instance, full parking-surveillance mode needs hardwiring or an OBD-II power cable. THINKWARE EU | Official Site +1 Also, though the camera supports up to 512 GB microSD storage, managing and reviewing footage isn’t always seamless; I found the mobile-app experience a bit clunky when trying to browse or export recordings. And for what is essentially a high-end dash cam, the price point forces a fair expectation — but I occasionally wish the interface were more intuitive and flexible. In short: the U3000 PRO is a powerful, feature-rich dash cam that offers excellent clarity, solid night performance, and thoughtful extras like radar-based parking surveillance. But the optional extras for full functionality and software quirks hold it back from being a true top-tier pick. Worth it for drivers who want a robust all-rounder — yet not quite perfect.

    I’ve been really impressed with the Thinkware U3000 Pro so far. The 4K front camera captures everything in such sharp detail, even in darker areas or in busy traffic. The rear camera is just as clean, and together they give a full picture that feels way more reassuring than other dash cams I’ve used. The radar and parking features activate quickly and quietly, and the built-in GPS has been spot on. The app is simple, connects fast on iOS, and makes it easy to review clips without any hassle. The whole setup looks sleek once mounted and doesn’t take up too much windshield space. The quality of the footage is the main thing that stands out. Even fast movement and headlights at night don’t wash anything out. It definitely feels like a premium upgrade for everyday driving and peace of mind. I also think this is one of those systems that benefits from professional installation so everything is wired cleanly and performs the way it’s meant to. Overall, it’s a great investment if you want top tier clarity and security. As someone who was rear ended this is great.
