U1000 Plus 2CH front and rear camera
The U1000 Plus captures 4K UHD front footage and Full HD rear footage via the included rear camera. Super Night Vision 3.0 ensures high-quality recording in low light as well as daylight. This listing is the 2-channel hardwire version, supplied with front and rear cameras, a 12V hardwire cable and a 64GB microSD card.
Features include built-in GPS, speed camera database, advanced parking mode, timelapse mode and energy saving mode. An optional radar module unlocks additional functionality.
4K video quality
The Sony STARVIS IMX515 image sensor records 4K 2160p UHD front and 1080p FHD rear footage at 30 fps. The 135° front and 160° rear wide-angle lenses minimise blind spots to help ensure every event is captured.
Dynamic 2K
Choose between 4K at 30 fps or 2K at 60 fps. The higher frame rate delivers smoother, sharper images, making it easier to extract still frames and read critical details such as number plates.
Super Night Vision 3.0
Thinkware's Super Night Vision 3.0 uses Digital Overlap High Dynamic Range (DOL HDR) combined with noise reduction technology to reduce noise and lens flare in night-time footage, recording true colours with minimal grain.
High Dynamic Range
DOL HDR enhances contrast and improves clarity in front-view footage shot at dusk or dawn, minimising noise and mitigating lens flare for cleaner low-light recordings.

About the Thinkware U1000 Plus 2CH
From our tech experts at CEN
The Thinkware U1000 Plus records 4K UHD at 30fps from the front, or QHD at 60fps, with a 1080p Full HD rear camera. The front uses an 8.46MP Sony STARVIS IMX515 sensor with Super Night Vision 3.0, behind a 135-degree lens, and the rear covers 160 degrees. GPS is built in, with a speed camera database.
Who it suits
Drivers who want 4K detail ahead and solid 1080p cover behind. An optional radar module adds more parking mode options. If you want a 2K rear camera and built-in radar, the U3000 is the step up.
Our tech experts advise
This is the 2-channel hardwire version, supplied with front and rear cameras, a 12V hardwire cable and a 64GB microSD card. It takes UHS-I cards from 32GB to 512GB and runs on 12V or 24V. Choose 2K at 60fps if you want smoother footage for reading plates. We fit 2-channel systems from £100 at our Beeston workshop. See dash cam installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What SD card do I need for this dash cam?
A: Use a high-endurance microSD card designed for continuous recording. Standard cards wear out quickly in dash cams. CEN stocks suitable high-endurance cards, and the maximum supported capacity is listed in the Specification tab.
Q: Does this dash cam record while the car is parked?
A: Parking mode is listed in the Specification tab. Where supported, it requires constant power from either a hardwire kit or a dedicated dash cam battery pack, both of which CEN stocks.
Q: Do I need to hardwire the dash cam?
A: Not necessarily. All dash cams work from the 12V socket for drive recording. Hardwiring hides the cabling and enables parking mode, and CEN offers professional hardwire installation from our Nottingham premises.
Q: Will the footage be accepted by my insurer or the police?
A: Dash cam footage is widely used in insurance claims and can be submitted to most UK police forces through their online portals. Recording quality matters, so check the resolution in the Specification tab.
Q: Front only or front and rear - which should I choose?
A: A front camera covers the most common claim scenarios. A two-channel system adds rear coverage for rear-end collisions and tailgating evidence, which is where many disputed claims arise. Three-channel systems add an interior view, suited to taxi and fleet use.
Q: What resolution does the Thinkware U1000 Plus record at?
A: The front camera records 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) at 30 fps, or QHD (2560 x 1440) at 60 fps. The rear camera records 1080p Full HD at 30 fps.
Q: Does the Thinkware U1000 Plus have GPS?
A: Yes. GPS is built in and supports the Speed Camera Database. An optional Radar can be added for further features.
Q: What is included with the U1000 Plus 2CH hardwire version?
A: Front camera, rear camera, 12V hardwire cable, rear camera cable, 64GB microSD card, USB microSD card reader, windscreen mount, spare 3M mounting tape, adhesive cable clips and a quick start guide.
