U3000

if it’s a 4K front camera, includes a rear camera, and installation, I’d say that might be a good deal, for Lexus, especially. I sell and install dash cams for a living, I prefer the thinkware U 3000, and U3000 pro. $550 and $580, respectively. Not including installation. SUV is about three hours at

Because it is quality backed by a company with great customer support than answers the phone. Just installed 3rd THINKWARE U3000 in my cars.Love the parking mode with OBD II connector

I’d focus on how you’re powering parking mode. A lot of dash cams sound good on paper, but for hit and runs the setups people seem happiest with are hardwired with low-voltage cutoff or paired with an external battery so you’re not killing the starter battery. Buffered parking mode matters too becau

Any thinkware with radar tech us what you need. The camera sleeps and uses radar to detect movement, only recording when triggered. It sips battery, can last a very long time as a result. Other cams use motion detection based on the camera, so the cam has to be on all the time and might only last 1

A lot of cams really just save from the impact onward, but Thinkware’s radar parking mode can pick up motion before the actual hit, which is way more useful if you care about real evidence. And since you said you want more

Screen saver from Amazon is probably the cheapest and best accessory to protect that super soft infotainment screen. I had THINKWARE U3000 Pro front and rear Dashcam installed. Uses OBD II power connector so no fuse box taps and has one of the best parking modes to save battery drain.

Rather than supporting Amazon's evil ways and potentially getting a counterfeit product, I recommend supporting a smaller retailer that's going to offer you a decent price, actual support, and knowledgeable reviews. I usually order from https://www.blackboxmycar.com/ and have been very happy with th

Went through this too when I got the Thinkware U3000 installed; ended up with 256GB and honestly wish I hadn't debated it so long. 128GB works but you're still looping every few hours, 256GB gives you way more breathing room, especially once parking mode starts eating into it too. On the card brand,

Thinkware Q850, U1000, U3000 would be my recommendations for a good quality dashcam. There are other brands out there ive just had really good success with Thinkware, plus the app is easy to use. When you use a suction cup the window should be at room temperature. If the window is too cold the sucti

A dashcam doesn't cause ICCU failure. The recall documentation points to overvoltage stress at the start and end of the 12V charging cycle, plus thermal loading during charging and driving. That's internal to the unit. Nothing you hang off the 12V causes it. But a dashcam will absolutely unmask a fa
