Energy Saving in Parking Surveillance mode records footage triggered by impacts only, allowing the U3000 to reduce its power consumption and remain in Parking Mode for a longer duration - Smart Parking Mode
If the interior temperature of the car becomes too high during Parking Surveillance mode, the dash cam automatically activates its low-power recording mode to prevent heat-related damages (requires hardwiring or OBD-II cable). - Integrated Supercapacitors and Thermal Sensor
Provide added safety and reliability in extreme temperatures. - Anti-File Corruption
Anti-file corruption technology with Format Free 2.0 improves the reliability of your Thinkware memory card and extends its lifespan by minimizing the risk of lost footage due to bad blocks and data corruption, thus also eliminating the need to format the card periodically. - Save More Footage with HEVC Format H.266

Dann –
This dash cam is amazing! Lots of good features the video quality is really good and the super night vision looks really good! Very expensive and it best buy does not have the option to insure it which is the downside
BobbyP –
I’ve had this installed for a month or so now.
It works. They were able to install the battery pack so it isn’t pulling from the battery. The radar works. You can adjust quite a few options as well.
The install at Best Buy was great. They did a great job. No complaints

The cameras work very well even when the car is parked. Once you download the video, the image is very clear.

Overall, the U3000 is a pretty solid camera. Starting with features, it is packed with almost everything you can think of. It has a GPS, includes a rear camera and a really good parking mode, which I will talk about in a moment. It includes an OBD 2 cable to power the camera, which makes it really easy to get parking mode working without having to hardwire the camera. The camera can stamp your current speed in the video and it also records some extra data which can be viewed through a program in a computer. You also get an app for your phone through which you can connect to the camera, change all the settings, get a live view which can also help you mount the cameras properly and see all of your videos. Cable lengths are pretty good and you should be able to reach the back of your car even if you have a large SUV. The camera also includes A polarizing filter, which you can stick on to reduce reflections from your windshield. The pictures I posted are with a polarizer installed. At first I was concerned with the lack of a screen, but it turned out to be a non issue. If there is an error with an SD card, the camera will speak it out loud. And you can use an app on your phone or a program on your computer to change any of the camera settings relatively easily. The LED indicators are easily viewable from the driver seat, even in direct sunlight, and do a good job of providing some information as to what the camera is doing. There are also some more gimmicky features like the lane departure or the go notifier. The go notifier alerts you if the vehicle in front of you is moving, and the lane departure lets you know if you’re drifting out of your lane. They don’t work super well, but they’re also not annoying, so they don’t bother me at all. The go notifier is super sensitive and will trigger constantly, if you creep forward, if a pedestrian walks in front of you, if the car in front of you creeps a bit, etc. It definitely needs a bit of work, but as I said it is not annoying. I also wish that the buttons were backlit, they’re impossible to read at night.
Parking mode is excellent. Easily the best I’ve ever tried. The camera includes an OBD 2 cable which can be easily plugged in and ran to get the same effect as a hardwired connection. The camera will remain powered even with the car off, and you can set a battery cutoff voltage. When the car is off, the camera switches to a motion recording mode. When it detects motion, it records a 20 second clip. If it detects an impact, it also stores the clip into a separate folder and it will notify you when you get into your car. The camera also has a radar, but it isn’t very clear to me what it does. Supposedly the camera is supposed to record only if it detects something getting close via the radar, but mine just records whenever it detects motion. It’s not the end of the world, but it also means I get a bunch of clips of people just walking by. I had really high expectations from the radar, but it doesn’t seem to be super useful, although it doesn’t hurt the cameras performance or functionality in any way. One complaint I do have about parking mode is that it’s not very clear what each video is supposed to be. Some of the videos are stored in the same folder as your regular driving videos, and some of them seem to be stored in a separate folder called Motion Timelapse. It isn’t very clear what the difference is between these and it can make the videos hard to find if you’re looking for a particular moment. However, if you have impact detection on and the camera detects an impact, it will store the video in a separate folder called parking event.
Personally, I care about looks and this camera is OK. Definitely not the best looking camera out there, but it is not ugly or anything. I do wish that all the cables came straight out of the back of the camera, but the power cable comes out at an angle which makes running the cable a little bit awkward. I also wish that everything connected through USB type C instead of proprietary connectors. Just like the front camera, the rear camera has the cable coming out on an angle, which makes it a little bit awkward to run. The rear camera isn’t super small, but it isn’t huge, especially considering that it also has radar. Both cameras have a small blue light which illuminates when the cameras are recording. It looks very cool and is a neat gimmick, but I don’t think it’s super useful. I still like it though.
Video quality is a big disappointment for me. Compared to other dash cams, the U3000 is excellent, but considering the price and comparing it to other cameras in general, it is still very underwhelming. It costs nearly five times as much as my $120 Xiaomi camera, but it does not record five times better. A $500 phone’s camera will absolutely mop the floor with any dash camera, and a phone has to do way more than just record video, so I can’t grasp why in 2025 a camera of this price still has such potato quality video. At its default settings, the camera seems a little bit prone to overexposed video, especially at night. License plates can often be washed out and unreadable. The video is also a relatively low bit rate, which leads to a lot of compression artifacts. Even in good daylight, with ideal conditions for the camera, any license plates that are more than about 100 feet away are basically unreadable. The front polarizer filter definitely helps the front camera because it reduces a lot of glare. But there is no polarizer for the rear camera and it could really use one too, as you can see in one of the photos. While the camera will do a great job of documenting an accident, it won’t do a great job at documenting a face or a license plate.

Very difficult to connect to the app. I was expecting to be able to see feed from the recording but haven’t been able to connect. I have not removed the memory card to look but it says it it recording and gives me verbal update. I am just used to being able to view the feed in an app and at this price I feel I should be able to do that.

Installation dept less than helpful. Guy at register had to keep repeating my questions to the installer. Installer gave minimum info which required more questions. Should have stopped working to give a comprehensive description of the installation job

Item has super night vision, parking mode record, vibration record etc
ThomasK –
Very nice dashcam.
Pros:
* Good quality recording
* Small footprint
* Feels like it’s a quality make
Cons:
* Can’t view videos on phone app
* Cable that connects the back camera has a specific front and rear connection that is not made super clear in the directions. Install it with the “F” end in the rear and the camera won’t work
OldSam –
Good cameras, zero documentation, difficult to use Apps. I had to call Thinkware more than a dozen times (each call required waiting for a Customer Service Rep. and then up to an hour sitting in the car) to figure out how to register (mandatory to use the App) the dashcam and then how to use the App to view the videos and delete unnecessary videos of the car parked inside the garage.
