4K UHD Resolution

The Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor records 4K 2160p UHD at the front and 2K 1440p QHD at the rear at 30fps. The 152° front and 128° rear wide-angle lenses minimise blind spots.

• Dynamic recording at 60fps
• Select 2K QHD to choose between 30fps or 60fps
• A higher frame rate delivers smoother, sharper images

4K Image Quality Settings

The U3000 improves image clarity by adjusting the bitrate of recorded footage, giving you more data per image for a cleaner picture.

Super Night Vision 4.0 with Sony STARVIS 2

The Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor captures clear images in low-light conditions during both continuous and parking recording, using SHCG (Super High Control Gain) technology.

Parking Surveillance Mode

Parking Surveillance mode activates automatically when you turn off the ignition, recording when motion or impact is detected — helping you capture hit-and-run incidents while away from your vehicle.

Parking Surveillance mode requires the hardwiring cable (included) and installation. Professional installation is recommended.

Built-in Thinkware Radar

Dual radar is built into both the front and rear cameras. When a person or vehicle is detected in a low-power state, the dash cam wakes up and begins recording immediately. Sensitivity is adjustable in 5 steps, with detection from 1 m minimum to 5 m maximum.

• Monitors for potential vandalism attempts around the vehicle.
• Captures impacts while parked to catch hit-and-run drivers.
• Timelapse mode records at 2fps to reduce file size and extend parking mode recording duration.

Energy Saving Mode 2.0

In Energy Saving mode, the U3000 enters standby when Parking Surveillance mode is active and wakes within one second of an impact being detected by the built-in G-sensor, recording for the next 20 seconds.

This can extend total Parking Surveillance recording duration by up to 5 times compared with standard parking mode.

Safety Camera Alerts

The U3000 provides audio warnings when approaching road safety cameras using the UK speed camera (Cyclops) database, with regular free updates. Alerts are active while the camera continues to record video.

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)

• Rear Collision Warning (RCWS): alerts you when driving at 50 km/h or above if a vehicle tailgates within 5 m to 10 m of your rear for more than 5 seconds, with the option to save a recording.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCWS / UFCWS): warns of impending road hazards ahead.
• Front Vehicle Departure Warning (FVDW): alerts you when the vehicle ahead starts to move.
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS): detects if the vehicle is veering out of its lane.

Easy Wi-Fi Device Pairing with Thinkware Link App and Bluetooth

Built-in Bluetooth allows straightforward pairing with a compatible Android or iOS device via the Thinkware Link App. Once paired, replay driving videos and manage dash cam settings directly from your phone.

Rear Camera

Mounts inside the vehicle on the rear window facing outward. The 128° wide-angle lens captures rear footage in 2K QHD detail and includes radar functionality for rear parking detection.

Disclaimer

• To enable connected features, the U3000 and Q1000 dash cams require access to a data source. Connecting to a mobile hotspot or Wi-Fi network with internet access will consume data. Carrier or service provider charges may apply.
• T700 requires an active data SIM. A Vodafone Smart SIM is provided at £3/€3 per month on a rolling monthly contract, providing up to 5GB of data per month including international roaming across more than 100 countries. Other SIM cards can also be used.
• The smartphone used to set up the internet connection on the Q1000 cannot also be used as a mobile hotspot for the dash cam — a separate hotspot device or smartphone is required.
• Use the Thinkware Dash Cam Link App to connect the dash cam to the internet. Once connected, access connected features via the Thinkware CONNECTED app.
• Thinkware CONNECTED service is currently in beta and some features may be unavailable or limited.
• The hotspot data source requires a permanent power source to maintain a 4G signal to the dash cam.
• An additional battery backup such as the iVolt Mini or Pro is highly recommended.
