Your fitted package
£649 including VAT and standard local installation
Our premium front-and-rear option combines detailed 4K front recording, a 2K rear camera and built-in radar for parking surveillance. It suits drivers who want better image detail, more parking choices and the option of remote access.
Included: front and rear cameras, professional hardwire installation, 64GB memory card, built-in GPS and a front CPL filter. We position the cameras, conceal the wiring where practicable, set up the parking controls and show you how to use the phone app.
What you get
4K front and 2K rear
Detailed views of the road ahead and behind. The front records 4K at 30 frames per second; you can instead select 2K at 60fps. Rear recording is 2K at 30fps.
Sony STARVIS 2 sensors in both cameras
Sensors designed to improve imaging in difficult lighting. Detail still depends on speed, weather, lighting, positioning and windscreen condition.
HDR and Super Night Vision 4.0
Different processing options for difficult light and night recording. HDR and Super Night Vision cannot operate together; HDR is for driving recording.
Built-in front and rear radar
Watches for suitable movement while the system is in its low-power radar parking mode, then wakes the cameras to record.
GPS built in
Adds journey position and speed information and supports safety-camera alerts.
Local phone access
THINKWARE DASH CAM LINK lets you check the camera view, change settings and download recordings near the vehicle.
Optional remote connection
Add the LTE module for supported remote functions through THINKWARE CONNECTED, subject to service, reception, power and the selected parking mode.
CPL filter
Helps reduce dashboard reflections on the front camera. It cannot remove every reflection.
Expandable storage
A 64GB card is included. Compatible cards up to 512GB are supported; ask about a larger card if you want more recording capacity.
Three-year manufacturer camera warranty
The UK distributor advertises a three-year warranty for the camera. Installation workmanship and accessory warranty terms should be stated separately in your quotation.
The cameras also use lens-distortion correction and video processing to improve the recorded image. Their compact screen-free design keeps the windscreen installation discreet.
How everyday recording works
The camera records to its memory card when driving. Loop recording reuses storage, while impact-triggered and manually saved clips are stored in their relevant recording folders. Download important evidence promptly: a memory card is not a permanent archive, and protected recording areas also have finite capacity.
You do not need to leave your phone connected for normal recording. The built-in supercapacitor helps the camera finish saving when its supply is interrupted; it does not power hours of parking recording.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and the app: what is the difference?
THINKWARE DASH CAM LINK is the app for using the camera when you are at or near your vehicle. Bluetooth helps the phone discover and connect to the camera. A direct Wi-Fi connection handles live camera viewing, playback and downloading larger video files; the camera supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi.
1. Open the app near the powered camera and follow its pairing instructions. 2. Allow Bluetooth and join the camera's Wi-Fi network when prompted. 3. View or download the clip you need, then disconnect when you have finished. App access can pause recording: use it while safely parked and disconnect camera Wi-Fi before driving.
The camera's direct Wi-Fi connection does not itself provide internet. A phone warning that this network has no internet is therefore normal. Wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto can compete for the phone's Wi-Fi connection; you may need to disconnect it temporarily to transfer recordings.
Bluetooth and local Wi-Fi do not let you watch your car from another town. Remote access requires the separate LTE upgrade described below.
What does GPS do?
GPS records position and speed information alongside your recordings. Supported viewing software can use this information to put footage in context, and GPS also supports safety-camera alerts. You can choose whether to display speed on the video image.
Built-in GPS alone does not send your car's location to your phone. Remote location functions require the LTE connection and its supported service. This dash camera is not sold as an insurance-approved stolen-vehicle recovery tracker. Safety-camera alerts are a driving aid, and their database needs to be kept current.
Parking protection and your battery
With the camera hardwired and parking recording enabled, you can choose the mode that suits how you use the vehicle:
Radar
Uses built-in front and rear radar to detect suitable nearby movement from a low-power state. Detection wakes the camera to save a short clip; a detected impact can also trigger an event recording.
Motion and impact detection
Keeps the camera ready to record detected movement and impacts, using more power than a sleeping mode.
Time lapse
Records a reduced-frame-rate overview of the parked period, with separate event handling for detected impacts.
Energy Saving
Sleeps between events and wakes for a detected impact. This is not continuous recording and does not offer the same pre-event footage as an already-recording camera.
Every parking mode uses some power, including radar. Hardwiring allows battery-voltage protection and a parking timer to be configured. These settings reduce the risk of excessive discharge, but they cannot guarantee that every battery will always start the vehicle. Battery age, temperature, short journeys and the length of time parked all matter.
Recording ends when the camera loses power, reaches a configured limit or shuts down for protection. Radar coverage is directional and detection depends on the object, surroundings and installation; it does not guarantee a recording of every passer-by or every incident. Only one parking mode operates at a time.
If long parking periods are your priority, ask about a compatible dedicated dash-camera battery pack. It is an extra, with its own charge and runtime limits.
Optional LTE remote access — add £100
Total with standard fitting: £749 including VAT.
The optional LTE module adds a mobile-data connection for supported functions in the THINKWARE CONNECTED app, including remote camera viewing, vehicle-location features and event notifications. It is a different app from DASH CAM LINK, which you use locally.
The UK package includes a SIM and three years of the supplied service: a Premium trial for the first month, followed by Basic for the remaining period. Basic includes 10 minutes of remote Live View per month. Feature availability and allowances depend on the plan; a paid Premium upgrade is optional. After the included period, continued connected service requires a paid renewal. The distributor says the service does not automatically renew.
Remote access needs the camera to have power, mobile reception and an active service. In Radar and Energy Saving parking modes, the communication hardware sleeps: you cannot rely on opening a continuous remote live view while it is asleep. A detected impact can wake the system to send a notification. Motion Detection or Time Lapse parking is needed for continuously available communication, subject to the other conditions above.
The U3000 Pro's connected service requires the LTE module; phone tethering or an ordinary Wi-Fi hotspot is not an alternative. Remote functions stop if the camera switches off for battery or temperature protection.
Optional interior camera — add £100
Total with standard fitting: £749 including VAT.
An optional infrared interior camera adds a view inside the cabin. It may suit private-hire use or anyone with a specific need for cabin footage. Interior recording needs to be considered carefully when passengers or employees use the vehicle.
Choose either the interior camera or the LTE module: they share a connection and cannot be used together on this model. Front and rear recording remain the core package.
Updates and support
We help you get the camera and app working at handover. Firmware updates can be installed through DASH CAM LINK: download using your phone's internet connection, transfer to the camera and keep it powered until the update finishes. A matching-model memory-card update is also available through Thinkware's official support.
Save important clips first, and recheck your settings after an update. Safety-camera data is a separate item to keep current. The camera may pause recording during settings changes or updates, so carry these out while safely parked.
Useful questions
Can it read every number plate? No dash camera can guarantee that. The U3000 Pro offers detailed recordings, but relative speed, darkness, glare, weather and viewing angle still affect plate visibility.
Can I use all image-enhancement features at once? No. HDR and Super Night Vision are alternative settings, and selecting 2K/60fps at the front gives up 4K front recording. We can explain the choices during setup.
Does it replace careful driving? No. Supported forward-collision and front-vehicle-departure alerts are aids. They depend on appropriate setup and conditions. Traffic-light-change alerts are not being offered as a UK feature.
Does parking recording run indefinitely? No. Available power, protection settings, temperature and recording mode determine how long it can operate.
