"description": "Thinkware U1000 Plus Dash Camera\nSingle Channel 4K Dash Camera\nOur new 4K U1000 PLUS dash cam from Thinkware. Capture true 4K UHD forward-facing footage and Full HD rear footage with the rear camera. Paired with the award-winning Super Night Vision 3.0, this dashcam will record the highest quality footage day or night.\nPacked full of advanced features such as built-in-GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, Speed Camera Database, Advanced Parking Mode, Timelapse mode and Energy Saving Mode to keep you protected longer. Plus add the optional Radar to access even more features.\nKey Features\n4K UHD\nEnergy Saving 2.0\nSuper Night Vision 3.0\nTHINKWARE CLOUD 2.0\nTime Lapse\nSafety Camera Alert\nRoad Safety Warning System (LDWS, FCWS, uFCWS, FVDW)\n150º-156º Wide Viewing Angle\nAdvanced Video Clear Technology\nBluetooth\nBuilt-in Wi-Fi\nBuilt-in GPS\nFormat Free 2.0\nMobile APP (Android/iOS)\nWindows/Mac Viewer\n4K Video Quality\nEquipped with the latest Sony Starvis IMX515 Image Sensors lets you record in crystal clear 4K 2160p UHD front and 1080p FHD rear cam footage day or night at 30FPS. The wide angle lens view will minimize blind spots to assure recording of all events without fail.\nDynamic 2K\nYou can now choose between recording in 4K at 30FPS or in 2K at 60FPS. The higher frame rate delivers both smoother and sharper images making capturing still images and revealing crucial information even easier.\nDynamic 2K at 60FPS\nU1000 Plus also supports 2K QHD recording at 60 frames per second. High frame rate delivers both smoother and sharper image\nEnergy Saving Mode 2.0\nThe improved energy mode further reduces power consumption and provides even longer video recording than our original energy-saving and parking modes. When you are away from your car for an extended period of time, energy saving parking recording is a recommended solution.\nWhen in use, the device will go to sleep and after an impact has been detected by the built-in G-sensor, it will wake up within a second and start recording for the next 20 seconds.\nU1000 Plus Energy Saving 2.0 Standby Time\nBased on 4,500mAH battery (BAB-50)\n* Variables: Temperature, efficiency of the battery by usage time, and change in current after a detection\nThinkware Radar\nAdd the optional radar to access even more from your camera’s parking mode. With energy-saving mode, the dashcam will enter sleep mode when in parking mode. When the radar detects motion, the dashcam will power back up. If an impact is then detected, the camera will then save a 20-second clip (10 seconds before impact and 10 seconds after impact) and store this for viewing. If no impact is detected the unit will simply power back down to save your vehicle’s battery.\nRadar motion detection requires optional radar module, and only enabled in energy saving mode.\nSedan or greater sized vehicle can be detected.\nDue to nature of Ultra-high Frequency radiation, the distance and degree of detection can be different.\nNot every object is guaranteed to be detected.\nMetal object can cause malfunction of the radar detection.\nRead user manual before using radar module\nSUPER NIGHT VISION 3.0\nRecord night-time drives with true colours and minimal noise thanks to Thinkware’s latest advancements in low-light recording technology that surpasses its predecessors’ night time performance. The dash cam uses a combination of Digital Overlap High Dynamic Range (DOL HDR) and Noise Reduction technology to effectively reduce noise and lens flare effects that typically affect night time footage.\nThe best duo from SONY brings enhancement in low illuminated environments, combined with Thinkware’s state of the art image signal processing\nComparison of Driving Recordings\nComparison of Parking Recordings\nLIVE VIEW\nWatch what is happening in real-time. Remotely monitor your vehicle on your mobile device.\nLive View: Up to 300 minutes per month (Reset on every 1st day of the month)\nTHINKWARE CLOUD uses your smartphone’s data connection to send and receive notifications. Carrier charges may apply\nMobile Hotspot connectivity with a Data Plan will be required to use the THINKWARE CLOUD features.\nGEO FENCING\nGeo Fencing allow drivers to stay alert of vehicle location. Whether your vehicle goes in/out side of a certain radical area, U1000 will send you push notification through mobile app, THINKWARE CLOUD. This is more practical for the parents, rental companies, and for fleet management. The radius can be set by typing the address or by using pin point on the mobile app. You may set 20 different radical area with the size from 100m up to 600km.\nLOCATE VEHICLE\nLocate Vehicle will help drivers to find the vehicle’s current location. U1000 will update its current location in every 10 seconds. Then it will display current location with speed and the heading direction integrated on google map.\nSTRONG IMPACT NOTIFICATION\nIn the event of a crash, the alert feature can help the driver to notify others of an emergency situation when the driver is not in the condition to do so. The family or the owner of the car can then remotely check on the situation from their location.\nWhen the car experiences an impact with a g-force level greater than 3g or 4g while driving, the dash cam will automatically send a push notification alert of the impact to the user’s smartphone logged in to the THINKWARE CLOUD app.\nA 20 seconds video of the incident (10 seconds before and after the incident) is also saved on the THINKWARE CLOUD server, and a push notification alert of the video is sent to the user, which can be checked later and downloaded from the app.\nStrong Impact Notification Video: Up to 100 downloads per month (Reset on every 1st day of the month)\nNo new videos can be recorded while saving the 20 seconds of first impact file.\nIf a second or third impact is detected, an additional push notification alert of the impact is sent to the user’s smartphone.\nAnd if those impacts are within 10 seconds from the first impact, it can be seen in the remaining seconds of the first impact file\n(e.g. If, a second impact is detected 2 seconds from the first impact, 8 seconds are the duration of the second impact video).\nCapacity per user: 520MB – Strong impact videos of 66MB will be uploaded. (7 uploads for 1CH or 3 uploads for 2CH),\nWhen the capacity is exceeded: The oldest files are deleted and overwritten with the new videos.\nThe service behaviour and the transmission may vary depending on the server environment and your mobile data.\nTIME LAPSE\nImportant clips and images may get deleted due to insufficient memory space during long continuous recordings, especially in standard parking recording mode which requires large memory for saving 15 to 30 frames per second.\nTIME LAPSE MODE in the U1000 Plus records 2 frame per second reducing the size of the video file.\nThis allows video recordings in parking mode to continue up to 16 times longer than other dash cams. Parking recording mode can be activated upon installing the U1000 with the hardwiring cable provided.\nSAFETY CAMERA ALERT\nThe THINKWARE Dash Cam U1000 Plus’s internal GPS provides accurate location information while the Safety Camera Alert function is on continuous alert to warn the driver of red lights and traffic enforcement cameras. Cultivate safe driving habits with THINKWARE DASH CAM.\nRed Light Warning System\nSpeed Camera Warning System\nRed Light & Speed Camera Warning System\nAverage Speed Warning System\nMobile Zone Warning System\nROAD SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM\nThe THINKWARE DASH CAM U1000 plus is equipped with the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Front Collision Warning System (FCWS), Urban Front Collision Warning System(uFCWS) and Front Vehicle Departure Warning (FVDW) to ensure driver safety with a voice warning.\nAdvanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)\nForward Collision Warning System\n(FCWS)\nWarns the driver of impending road hazards.\nFront Vehicle Departure Warning\n(FDWS)\nInforms the driver of the vehicle ahead starting to move.\nLane Departure Warning System\n(LDWS)\nDetects if the vehicle is veering off the driving lane.\nTraffic Light Change Alert\nDetects when the traffic light changes from red to green.\nSTATE OF THE ART VIDEO ENHANCEMENT TECHNOLOGY\nTHINKWARE DASH CAMs are equipped with top-notch video enhancement technology on the market, ensuring the most vivid video recordings under any circumstance.\nWIDE DYNAMIC RANGE\nWhen you are driving under bright sunlight, coming out of a tunnel, or getting under the shadow of a tall building etc, a sudden change in frontal light exposure levels can result in excessively bright or dark recordings. The WDR function eliminates excessively bright spots on the recording to correct its color balance in order to ensure a clear image.\nAUTOMATIC EXPOSURE\nA sudden rise of light exposure caused by strong sunlight or headlight beams of oncoming vehicle may cause difficulties to assess the situation. Also, lack of lighting in a dark tunnel or night driving may pose the same problem. The automatic light exposure function controls the level of light exposure to maintain vivid and clear video recordings in all circumstances.\nMultiple Recording Modes\nProtect your car when you are away. The F70 Pro automatically switches to Parking Mode to monitor your parked vehicle. Thanks to video buffer, the few seconds leading to triggering events are also recorded.\nContinuous Recording Mode\nThis mode is activated automatically when you start the engine. Recorded videos are saved in one-minute segments with an auto-looping mechanism.\nIncident Recording Mode\nThe Active Impact Monitoring System will automatically store the video data ten seconds prior to and after a collision registered by the 3-axis G-Sensor.\nManual Recording Mode\nSimilar to a video camera, you can use the Manual Recording Mode to capture events that occur in front of your vehicle whether or not it is in motion.\nFail-Safe Recording\nIn the event that the power gets disconnected after an accident, the fail-safe recording uses the Super Capacitor for backup power to ensure safe storage of any recording in progress.\nCHECK RECORDED IMAGES AND UPDATE FIRMWARE USING SMARTPHONES\nYour smartphone and the U1000 Plus can be connected via the exclusive application ‘THINKWARE DASH CAM Mobile Viewer for U1000 Plus with built-in Wi-Fi in the navigation. Check, download or delete recorded images, update firmware or update safe driving information on the application.\nSmart Parking Mode\nWhen a high temperature occurs, it switches to Low power mode, and when it enters a stable Temperature, it actively changes to the existing Recording mode.\n* Provide optimised energy saving with THINKWARE`s external battery\nHigh-Temperature Protection System\nProtects your dashboard camera from overheating and causing potentially irreversible damage to it or its data.\nThe specially designed heat discharge construction and the built-in thermal sensor of the dash cam protects the device and its data against intense heat by automatically turning it off to prevent overheating. All Thinkware cameras use a Super Capacitor, designed with Temperature Protection, for an emergency power source in the event of a crash or sudden power loss, allowing the unit to save the last 10 seconds of an incident.\nProduct Specifications\nPackage Contents\nDash Cam\n12V Power Cable\nMicroSD Card\nUSB MicroSD Card Reader\nWindshield Mount\nSpare 3M Mounting Tape\nAdhesive Cable Clips\nQuick Start Guide\nDetailed Specifications\nCamera: IMX515 Sony sensor, 8.45M pixels, 1/2.8”\nResolution: Front : 4K (3840x2160P)\nCapacity: MicroSD Card UHS-1 32GB/64GB/128GB/256GB/512GB\nRecording Modes: Continuous Recording, Incident Recording, Manual Recording, Parking Mode(Motion detection, Time lapse, Energy saving), SOS Recording\nG-Sensor: 3-Axis Accelerometer G-Sensor (3D, ±3G)\nGPS: Built-in GPS\nWi-Fi: Built-in WiFi/Bluetooth\nPower: DC 12V / 24V supported\nETC: Status LED (3EA) : WiFi/Bluetooth, GPS, REC & Security LED",
