U3000 4K Dash Cam Front, Sony STARVIS 2, Radar, GPS, HDR

A great dash cam, this is my second...(I miss placed the 1st one). They come with a much larger memory card now and that is nice.

I replaced an older version Thinkware dash cam with the U3000. The old F770 was great but the clarity of the U3000 is amazing. Day and night even license plates are legible. Great parking mode too! The radar sensors really seem to use alot less battery power in parking mode. Installation of both front and rear cameras was quick and easy on my newer GMC pickup. It was a bit pricey, but I think it's a good value for the price.

Very expensive, too difficult to use, finicky, annoying, software isn't well thought out, connectivity isn't well thought out. video quality? Whatever it is, it's far from 4K. After a year of messing with settings I still can barely read a license plate when someone is right in front of me. Getting footage from the app is almost entirely useless. Count on always ejecting the SD card and putting it in an adapter and plugging it into a laptop. That being said, the majority of dash cams are just as crappy. The saving Grace for this one, is that it unlike the other expensive counterparts I tried such as the nexar one, the thinkware hasn't overheated in the two hot Vegas Summers I have had it, and the parking detection with radar is better than any other dash cam I have had. It also accepts and actually requires an external SD card which allows you to extract media your own way vs others with a non upgradeable internal storage (nexar one again)

Did a lot of research and decided to buy this for the below reasons: made in Korea, brand reliability, cloud connectivity, low power consumption on parking mode. Set up was just ok.. wished it was a bit smaller in size and had the cpl filter preinstalled as it’s tricky to align it correctly to camera lens. Bought this as bundle with rear cam. The cable for that is really thick and it was extremely difficult to conceal it into the trim. Now 4 weeks since installed, I find it not useful as compared to a cheaper dash cam I had before. Main challenge, it never gives any notification on the events in parking mode when I get into my car. My car has internet hotspot and dashcam says “connected to internet” but still I need to manually connect phone to dash cam to see the parking recording. The cheaper dashcam had a screen and it used to show any alert from parking mode, when I get into the car. I know a continuous internet connection required for real time notification during parking, but I expect the dash cam to alert for any events as soon I get back into the car. Having spent over $500 for the bundle, I expected this dashcam to let me know any alert while parking, it is the basic feature of any dashcam. Frustrated and reached out to support team - and the steps provided are to reset the dashcam and format the memory card! Seriously? !!

This is dash cam is definitely not worth the money. It’s too expensive to have flaws. App is not user friendly at all. Picture quality is not as advertised.
