Overview

Thinkware Radar Module

The Thinkware Radar Module enables extended parking mode for the Thinkware U1000, X1000 and Q1000.

The Thinkware Radar Module is an optional radar motion detection module designed to enhance the dash cam’s Energy Saving Parking Mode 2.0 with ultra-high frequency radar motion detection and buffered recording.

*Energy Saving Parking Mode "Enabled" is required for RADAR motion detection.

Learn more about the Thinkware Radar Module in Parking Mode.  

Features

Ultra High Frequency Radar

The Thinkware Radar Module is designed to be used when the dash cam is on Energy Saving Parking Mode 2.0.

*Energy Saving Parking Mode 2.0 is supported on the Thinkware U1000, X1000 and Q1000 dash cams.

When the Radar Module detects a moving object within the range, the dash cam will switch into Recording Standby Mode and impact detection is set for 30 seconds.

Energy Saving Mode 2.0

If an impact has been made within 30 seconds, the dash cam will save 20 seconds video of before and after the impact.

Without the Radar Module, the Energy Saving Mode will trigger recording only after an impact has been made, leaving you without any pre-event evidence.

If no impact is detected within the 30-seconds, the dash cam will automatically switch back to Energy Saving mode and no recording is stored.

IMPORTANT

Cloud features will be temporarily disabled when the Thinkware U1000 and Q1000 dash cams is in Energy Saving Mode 2.0.

Right now it's useless

I can't return it bc it's an accessory and my Thinkware U1000 broke after warranty.

I'll change the rating once I get it fixed through Thinkware which costs about another 160 plus shipping.

Well Worth the Money!!

I wanted to wait a few months to try out the Thinkware U1000 Radar Module before I wrote a review. The Radar Module is well worth the money. It works just as advertised. I've been able to review 2 "incident" online from when I was away from my vehicle! Thanks also to BlackBoxMyCar for their great review. It's the reason I purchased the module and it's already come in handy!!

Hi George, thanks for purchasing from us. Good to hear that the RADAR is working very well for yo...

Great Product

This product is great! It helps save battery if you are using a battery pack to run your dash cam. I'm very satisfied with this product as it helps me save battery in parking mode. Also, it is very easy to install - takes only a couple of minutes. The only downside of this product is that it only detects the front view. However, you can change your settings if you want to record both the front and rear view in parking mode without using this feature. Overall, very helpful with battery saving.

Hi Won, great feedback! Thanks for leaving a review, and thank you for shopping at BlackboxMyCar!...

Customer

I’ve recently had a THINKWARE U1000camera & radar module fitted by a “professional installer” in the UK.
Does the orientation of the Radar unit matter ?
as I’ve just noticed that the THINKWARE logo on the mount isn’t facing forward (towards the windscreen/direction of travel)
Many Thanks
Fletch

BlackboxMyCar T.

For the Thinkware Radar Module, the orientation is indeed important for optimal performance. The Thinkware logo on the radar unit should face forward, towards the windshield and in the direction of travel. If it's not oriented correctly, it may affect the radar's ability to accurately detect motion and impacts for your Thinkware U1000 camera. It's advisable to have the installation checked and adjusted by a professional installer to ensure it functions as intended.

Can the radar module be installed on the black, spotted sunscreen material on the upper center of my windshield or will this interfere with it's operation?

BlackboxMyCar T.

Hey there, you're referring to the windshield frit - that would not interfere with the functions of the radar :)

I have a truck.... can I place the radar at the inside of the back window instead of the front windshield. To get better coverage of the truck bed, and side of the doors.

BlackboxMyCar T.

The radar must connect to the front dash cam unit, and the cable for this is about 1 foot long. If you're ok with mounting your dash cam in the back, the radar can certainly be mounted that way.

Are this radar works for front camera or both the rear and front. Because I need camera with radar that can pick up the vehicle that are coming from rear of car while my car is parked in street.

BlackboxMyCar T.

Hello, the radar is only meant to detect the front of the vehicle since it needs to be attached to the front unit.

Chan A.

Do I know to connect new power source for the radar or just need to connect with the main body(U1000 cam radar port)? Also, if I just need to connect it to the main body to get the radar works, do I need to find more power source for the radar before I install the U1000 main body?

BlackboxMyCar T.

Hi Alpha, you do not need a new power source for the radar. All you need to do is connect it to the main Thinkware U1000 unit to get it to work. Thanks for asking!
