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 U3000 PRO record in?
A: The front camera records 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) at 30 fps or 2K QHD (2560 x 1440) at 60 fps using an 8.4 MP Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor. The rear camera records 2K QHD at 30 fps using a 5.14 MP Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor.
Q: What size microSD card does the U3000 PRO support?
A: It supports microSD cards of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB (UHS-I), and a 64GB microSD card is included in the box.
Q: Does the U3000 PRO have parking mode?
A: Yes. Parking Surveillance Mode includes smart, motion and impact detection, time lapse and energy saving modes, with built-in radar. It requires the hardwiring cable (included in this hardwire version) or an OBD II power cable, and professional installation is recommended.
