[GENERALÜBERHOLT] Thinkware U1000 4K UHD Zweikanal-Dashcam

I bought this March 2022 with a 3 year warranty for $690. It came with the rear cam, radar and obd cable for hybrids. The app is a pain. There was even a point where it recorded nothing but a black screen, had to uninstall and reinstall the app to 'fix' it. Trying to get the app to cooperate in general to get videos was a pain and near makes it not worth buying but when it did work it worked well. The quality of the videos is good but no where as good as advertised. Heat is the biggest issue for this camera. I bought an awning for my car.... for my camera so it would be out of the heat/light. I bought an exterior sunshield even though it defeats the purpose of it recording! I babied the camera to no end! But after LESS THAN TWO YEARS it just died, power is going to the cable but camera. A SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLAR CAMERA BRICKED ITSELF IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS!!!! So much had been going on in my life I forgot where I bought the camera! I went directly to thinkware but it remained a mystery. Then I just randomly came across this site and it all pieced together. I found my account and the reciept. Now I see that this camera is less than half the price!!!! Then I see I bought a 3 year warranty for it only to notice it has expired as of 4 months ago! DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA! It is a delicate snowflake, this is northern california, not Arizona! I kept it covered all the time which made it pointless to have! This was a poor investment on my part. Do not buy this camera! I'm absolutely furious i spent this much on garbage. I've been so busy with life i vanet even taken it out yet. Would have been nice to get videos of the stalkers, bad drivers and the one car on fourth of July this year that pulled in front of me from a side road and came to a dead stop on the freeway which I had to dodge. Thanks for nothing.

Had this u3000 2ch installed in both my cars let me just say it's the easiest to use and best I've ever had. The app is very user-friendly and it even updates the camera for the red light camera locations

This company is a complete SCAM! Do NOT buy there products! It’s been an absolute nightmare for me since day 1!! I spent nearly 1000$ on the u3000 back in September 2024. Right out of the box I had SO many issue, but one part of the unit worked as promised. The entire dash cam was completely useless. I mean it wouldn’t record, wouldn’t work for any of the live monitoring, like literally useless. I initially thought it was me so I called Thinkware to get some help setting it up. I spent hours upon hours on the phone with them trying to troubleshoot it, in the end they also couldn’t tell me what was wrong with it and couldn’t get it set up. After some back and fourth (and over 3 months time) they finally agreed to exchange the unit. I wish this is where this nightmare ended, but it’s not. I wait a couple weeks finally got my new camera went to hook it up and yet again had the exact same issue. Got back on the phone with Thinkware spent another 6 plus hours trying to troubleshoot it with them, and again at the end of it all they could not get it set up or tell me what was wrong with it. They then stated they were escalating it to their “level 2 team” and to give them a week and they would have the level 2 team call me. I waited and waited. I got a call from them about 10 days later. The guy on the phone did 0 troubleshooting with me. Asked me to confirm the issue, I did. He then said ok I’ll be in touch. This was January 17,2025. Nearly 4 full months after buying this unit. Here we are now at February 7, 2025. I have been emailing them and getting no response. I have asked multiple times to refund me my money as the unit had not worked since the day I bought it. They continue to ignore my request. Here I am now with a 900$ paper weight and no farther ahead then I was the day I bought it. Do yourself a huge favor and stay away from any products made from this company!!

My thinkware U1000 front camera and rear cvamera died recently after 3 years. I suggest another companys product

Lots of issues getting unit setup, front camera has a blue tint. Can't get it to live stream 99% if the time and the one time I was able to it had a 7 second delay. Had an incident and had trouble getting it off the camera. Cloud features I purchased this camera for are just not there. Maybe why it's free. Not a fan of the wiring placement , the large camera cord prevents it from mounting high and flush to mirror enclosure or roofline. Can't get a hold of support to resolve issues. Tempted to send it back but it is what it is for now.
