Shop - Thinkware U3000 4K Front + Rear Dashcam | Dashcam Bros

Let’s start from the beginning: Shopping in the store went smoothly, and the shipping process was flawless. DHL had questions regarding customs clearance, as the shipment included multiple boxes, but only one item was listed with a declared value. However, this was easily resolved via email. The delivery was as uneventful as expected.

The product arrived safely and undamaged. The camera is surprisingly small and handy. Setting it up was very straightforward, as was handling the battery. Things became a bit tricky during the fixed installation.

As a permanently installed component with its own fuse and a separate cable to the battery, the installation was more challenging than anticipated—though this was more due to the vehicle than the camera.

One small detail: The German manual doesn’t clearly explain the exact difference between the "Bat. " and "EXT" inputs.

Other than that, everything worked well, and the camera has been operating flawlessly so far.

I purchased the U3000 with front and rear cameras for my 2020 Mercedes C300. I was able to mount the unit to the plastic rain sensor housing and no cables are visible. I had to run a permanent live from the trunk and was able to tap the accessory wire under the glove compartment and tapped to the back of the 12v accessory port wires. The dash cam works great and has not let me down connecting to the car Wi-Fi. Picture quality is amazing and get no glare with the cpl filter. Night view mode is a blessing and able to read license plates. Parking mode works flawlessly. Day time picture quality with the bright sunlight in November is amazing and able to read license plates. I am highly impressed with this camera and highly recommend if you are driving a Mercedes because of the almost factory look.The only thing I wish, if the rear cam had a 90 degree connection point then the visible wire would not be a issue and would be tucked away under the headliner.Please note! Do not mount the camera to the radio antenna on the rear window or the rear radar will not work. Also I have to point out that customer service is truly amazing and responded straight away via email almost immediately on both occasions when I asked questions. If you drive a Mercedes then this is the best option available. I have used a Blackvue but the camera is just not suited to the Mercedes due to its shape and connection points. I wanted a install with no visible wires and this is best option according to me. I really hope my review helps the community who is interested in the Thinkware U3000. Thank you and I hope my review will help those looking for this camera..:pray::skin-tone-4:

It has arrived great service from your end.
Not yet installed except for a quick look with the power plug, can't wait for a techie to set it up

Excellent dashcam, it is the only choice if you are buying a dashcam for parking mode. I upgraded from a top-of-the-line Blackvue dashcam from 5yrs ago that wasn't showing the correct time. I was told the $3 soldered battery needed to be replaced, but once I found out U3000 can do parking mode with a battery pack in radar mode for ~20days, I didn't even bother to fix the Blackvue. U3000 is not perfect, setup was a bit quirky, cloud features are very basic and limited (can't live view if it is in low energy parking mode, etc) . So if cloud/remote view is important to you, Blackvue might be a better choice. Surprisingly I didn't have any issues with radar in the rear cam that everyone else was having.

After owning a BlackVue 900S for many years, I decided to buy the THINKWARE 3000 after reading many reviews. I am so glad I did. The videos are a lot clearer and it sinks to my I Phone a lot easier than the he BlackVue did.
