The Thinkware U1000 RADAR Sensor will be available on Nov 11. If you are ordering the RADAR Sensor as part of your U1000 4K UHD Dash Cam purchase, your RADAR Sensor will be shipped to you in a separate shipment as soon as it is available.
Overview
Thinkware U1000 RADAR
RADAR enables extended parking mode for the Thinkware U1000.
The Thinkware RADAR is an optional radar motion detection module designed to enhance the dash cam’s Energy Saving Parking Mode 2.0.
By adding the RADAR sensor, the dash cam’s parking mode is more power-efficient while allowing the dash cam to capture pre-event footage for a more comprehensive account of the incident.
When paired with a Cellink NEO Battery Pack, parking mode run-time can be extended to up to 170 hours (7 days).
Features
Ultra High Frequency Radar
The Thinkware U1000 RADAR 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 dash cam.
When RADAR 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, 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.
