FAQ

What is a dash cam?

A dash cam stands for a dashboard camera that is mounted inside the vehicle, usually on the front windshield. A dash cam, depending on the model, can do many things such as record both when the vehicle is being driven and when it’s parked, record audio, provide a connection to a smartphone app so that video can be reviewed and saved on the spot, etc.

What is an IR dash cam?

An IR dash cam is a dash cam with infrared lights that provide recording details under poorly-lit conditions, as well as total darkness. These are dual-channel dash cam setups with a regular front-facing unit and a secondary unit that comes with infrared lights.

The secondary unit is typically mounted to face and record the interior of the vehicle, and thus is especially recommended for rideshare users, such as for Uber and Lyft, or for commercial use, such as fleet managers.

Why buy a premium dash cam?

There are a few reasons as to why this is the case, and these reasons make a huge difference. Learn more about premium features including design, parking mode, smartphone integration, 4K UHD video resolution, g-force, ADAS, memory card storage and more.

What is parking mode?

Parking mode recording is a feature of a dash cam that keeps your dash cam recording footage even when the vehicle is off. Typically found only in premium dash cams, parking mode provides around-the-clock protection and surveillance for the vehicle.

What is Wi-Fi & GPS?

The wi-fi feature in a dash cam is what allows a smartphone to be paired to the dash cams. Unlike a regular wi-fi network signal that gives you internet access, the purpose here is just to connect the dash cam and smartphone together.

The GPS feature in a dash cam shows the vehicle’s speed and, for some models, the location of the vehicle with Google Maps integration.

Great feature rich dash cam.

Bought the dual-channel and it came with all the wiring harnesses I needed to complete the install. The U1000 is very feature rich and the picture quality is very good. Produces large files, but that's to be expected for a 4k+2k camera. Shipping was very quick and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Hi Eric, thank you for leaving a review. We're glad to hear that you're loving the Thinkware U1000. They will definitely create large video files, so that's why we recommend using a larger size SD card. If you don't have one, do let us know and we can recommend a few for you!

First ever dash camera

There are only three clips included in the box, not nearly enough to go around the window properly. Still trying to figure out the in’s and outs of the camera. I do lose wifi, even with the hot spot connected.
Just having it a week it’s rather hard to give a really good review.

Hi Richard, thank you for leaving a review. If you continue to have issues with your dash cam, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We are here to help you with these issues, and we will assist you where needed to get to the bottom of it. Thanks!

Great service...still work required...

As a “returning” customer, personally I feel your 5% off promotion offered is to generate “new” business (off the street). Now that you have a database of current customers, maybe incentivize them better? During my 2nd install of another U1000, I mentioned this to the lovely young lady at the front desk, who then mentioned this to her manager. Manager told her to share, “that’s the best we can do”. Fair enough... I own five cars, two of which now have the U1000 in them. Should you wish to explore additional business/installs, what can you do to incentivize me? Thx

Hi Michael, thank you for leaving your feedback. We hear you, and we will absolutely take your feedback into consideration into 2020. A little side note, we have been working on an incentivization structure for our longstanding customers that we plan on unveiling later in 2020, so once we figure that out, we will get back to you and hopefully be able to convince you to upgrade your other 3 cars with Thinkware U1000s!
