The best review setup thus far. Thank you for taking time to recored and edit and share this awesome guide. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment!
Great detailed video, actually one of the best I've seen. Now to part 2. Thank you!
I realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new movies online?
@Layton Abel Flixportal :)
@Cassius Jamir Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it!
@Layton Abel glad I could help :D
Thank you so much for showing exactly what I was looking for the settings on the phone. You can finally disable the continues incident recording! I have been emailing Thinkware about this update for YEARS now. When you have subs, even on the lowest setting it CONTENTLY records events. Obviously filling up that portion of your memory card, disrupting regular recording and the ability to find stuff that should be in continues. And you can finally flip the rear image, nice!
Trying to figure out who would thumbs down this video? This is perhaps the best step by step setup I have seen on TH-cam. You’ve earned a sub!
Well done video. Thanks so much for that bit of important information regarding which side of the CPL filter needs to be peeled off first so it can be applied to the lens. Even Thinkware's video isn't explicit about it, but yours was. Thanks, again.
this is an excellent installation video. I will add that if like me, you have the F770 or like model, the existing hardwiring cables will work with the new cameras so all you have to do is replace the physical cameras. No cable changes necessary. I am adding the radar unit to improve parking recording and I'd like your thoughts on that unit if you haven't checked it out already.
Thank you so much for those detailed videos
Wow hands down a great detailed video on to part 2 now.
straight to the point, very good info!
BIG THANKS!!!! I want to buy this camera, I'm sure now that this camera will do the job perfect 👍🏻
Very, VERY Well presented and articulated!!!
I’m buying me of these babies based on your review!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
this is really the best video i saw
you helped me so much
Thank you for the video! Perfect!! :)
Very helpful , Many Thanks🙏
Thanks very much. Great review
Very informative sir . Thank you.
Very helpful, thanks for making this video. One question: the way you mounted the front cam looks like it would block or at least restrict access to the memory card slot? Is that the case, or does it just appear that way due to the angle of the video?
Hi great install video. Im planning to install this on the same oddysey but i am purchasing this with a battery pack so i dont have to hardwire and use the car battery. Will the install be the same? The battery pack will be powered by the cigarette lighter.
This is super useful. Could you please illustrate how to wire to the rear of the Odyssey 2019? Thank you!
Hey i watch your video its very helpful for my 2019 Honda Odyssey touring can you tell us how we can change cabin camera with hd 360 view ?
Great video. Thanks
Hi, this device comes only with one extended camera for the rear of the car, is it possible to connect more cameras to the primary camera on the windowpane to get a 360 view?
Hey dial2fast what led headlights & fog lights you running on your pathfinder right now????
Great video, I live in Arizona looking for unit to stand up to our heat. Considering this unit or the 129 pro duo unit. Suggestion appreciated. Thanks
Does the WiFi frequency band have to do with the strength of its connection to the phone? Asking because my hotspot device gives me the same options of 2.4g and 5g.
Hi, nice video but don’t understand the yellow wire for constant power , what’s that for ?
Running the wire under head linner, on my Odyssey 2019 too it seems glued tight. How do you simply tuck it in there?
I don't want it coming lose later on.
Thanks
It's not a lot of space behind the front headliner. I use a small plastic pry tool to pull down the edge a bit and tuck the wire behind it. Some spots don't have much space but as long as you get most of it in, the wire should not fall down.
I have a 4runner and the rear window goes up and down. I obviously cant stick it on the window. Do you see a issue if I get this to putting the rear camera to the inside roof using Velcro to mount it?
ALWAYS HELPFULL.....THANX.....ABDI
Are the instructions for installation included in the box with the product? Also was the included cable for the rear camera long enough for you or did you have to purchase the extension cable that Thinkware sells?
Hi Great video. What was the 'Amp' of the extra fuse you put on top of the original Original fuse for the fuse tap? Whats the best fuse Amp to use for the Thinkware U1000 with front and rear camera?
Same question
I have the fuse taps already but unsure what size fuse to use
Awesome video! After watching this, im glad i bought the Blackvue DR 900s 2 chanel 4k
Why do you say that? What do you like better about it. I'm looking at both.
Does it come with instruction on how to hardwire the thing?
Very nice!
Cam you hook to a mobile Hotspot and live view the camera still?
That OPTION fuse what exactly is that protecting in the odyssey? For which device or component is that option for? I've searched and can't find any info
How do you replace the sd card with that tight gap from the dashcam and part behind the mirror?
I want to see the security light on. How many modes does it have...? the q800 Pro has 3 modes. I am interested in that information. Thank you.
I am going to install front and rear dash cams in my 2023 Odyssey Elite as well. Where did you hide the rear dash cam wire so that it doesn't impede the deployment of the side airbag?
At the front when you get to the top corner of the A pillar, route the wires behind the side airbag. The rear camera cable will run parallel to the side curtain airbag all the way to the back.
How has it been holding up being installed on the frets(dots)? I've had my radar detector fall off when I installed it there. Is the 3M vhb good enough to keep it adhered?
The 3M double sided tape will hold very well. The key is you need to clean the surface with rubbing alcohol first.
great video!!!!!!!
To bad they redisign mount I have f800 pro and also made rear cam not compatible between f800 pro and u1000 and hate the cpl filter couldn't install mine
Hey @dial2fast In the unfortunate event someone steals my vehicle and deletes the dash cam footage. Would that footage be backed up on the app? Would I be able to watch the footage to see who did it?
Thank you.
I’m having an issue with the app. When I connect to the dash-cam via my iPhone I see all the continuous recordings. I click on one of the recordings and works fine. When I click on another video clip it doesn’t play. I have to disconnect and start all over again to watch another clip. Any suggestions? Thanks
Does this unit overheat like the F800Pro?
do all the features work with car charger port?
What was your ground point for the hardwire? I couldn't find a consistent one on mine.
15:15 shows ground
hello, is this cellphone is android 8? why its too easy to connect on the dashcam .. thank u in advance
Okay first off, the video, great fucking video!!! Major props!!! I can’t imagine the hard work that went into delivering the details and shots you filmed. Anyways, question, is the dash cam always that chatty at every ignition? Is there silence mode where I turn over my car and I don’t hear a thing, maybe a “beep” at the most to know it’s on or recording. Because if this cam gonna be chatty I may have to rethink my purchase. Help me out brother.
The voice prompt will sound each time you start it up. However you can change the volume setting to 0 or 1 in the System Settings menu. 0 is muted.
Does the Wifi LED continuously flash on this model? I notice mine never stops flashing. It's kinda annoying.
Can a BAB-50 aligned with the U-1000?
great review
just installed mine
how to i adjust the front camera angle ? i see the live view with blue and green lines but how do you adjust the angle ? not seing anything in the app & the camera is mounted to windshield, lense does not appear to be movable ?
The front camera can swivel up and down. It doesn't look like it, but it does. Grab the camera lens and push it up/down. That's how you adjust the angle of the camera
Thank You
So will the app work only with wifi? Is this just for set up.
hi. does this camera also send live notifications when it detects motion on Parkin mode to a smartphone?
Only if the engine is running OR you purchase an independent hotspot. I tried using the hotspot on my truck and found that you can’t keep it on. Thinkware told me that they’re aware that this is the case but isn’t clear in their marketing.
ALSO, when they refer to “sending it to the Thinkware cloud” what they are referring to is the app on your phone. There is no actual “cloud” even though they point out that their “cloud” is free in comparison with other companies (that charge for actual cloud storage)
You also can use a OBD-ii cable !!
Yep, and parking mode works then. It just takes 2 to 3 minutes to activate. EchoMaster makes those cables. To prevent battery drainage its wise to have the software configured to 2 hours of parking mode maximum.
If i buy this from Best Buy can Geek Squad install it? Can the 12 V cigarette plug make the camera work? The only thing preventing me from buying this camera is the fact that I wouldn’t knkw how to install it.
Hi. I purchased this from Best Buy and they installed it for a charge. They hardwired it to the fuse box and tucked all the wires out of the way. It is a clean install. The two problems that I am having with this U1000 is the video is not sharp. It is supposed to be 4k, but the license plates are not sharp. My old 2014 Smsung phone takes better photos and the license plate photo is very sharp. Also can't get cloud remote view to work.
What if I can not get it centered on my wi shield due to the mirror?
Even if you mount it on either side of the mirror mount, it is fine. The camera is a wide angle lens and will capture what's happening in front. As long as you are not installing it on the side of the windshield.
Missing info about TIME LAPSE MODE(1,2,3,5 frames per second), for how long will it record ?

Thank you, can I Connect Thinkware dashcam through Wi-Fi router?
home wifi router ? how?
I've been reviewing all the dash cams and I was just about ready to order this unit. I went to the Play Store and the software that controls this unit had horrible reviews. My question and concern would be what good is all the great Hardware if your software is not going to function properly. Does anyone have this unit or any of the company's other units and what is your experience with the functionality of the software and the hardware.
It's the free video app that is used to play the video from the app... it's fucking terrible with ads playing everytime you start/stop the video. Maybe buying the full version would eliminate that...but seriously what is Thinkware thinking???
Apps on apple free download thinkware cloud, there is no advertisement free make sure firmware is updated...
Does the Uniden R7 interfere with Thinkware u1000 wifi when installed beneath the rearview close to the dash cam? Great content! Thanks for your contribution.
I have not experienced any interference.
@@dial2fast So, you have the Uniden R7 mounted beneath the rearview mirror with the Thinkware U1000 (and radar) in front of it?
@@tonyanderson2269 Yes
Why not install the front cam directly under the center windshield sensor console instead of beside it?
Because you want the front cam to have a view as high as possible to capture everything in front of the hood. Also the wide angle view still covers several lanes of traffic without problem. As you saw on the recorded video clip, the view is fine where I mounted it.
Have there been issues with the front camera not being adjustable?
No issue. It's a wide angle lens.
The camera does adjust, the camera swivels slightly up or down/ could be mounted to flat screen windshield if wanted
Hi, I'm interested in buying the thinkware u1000. I live in Mexico and it won't let me buy it. How can I get it?In Amazon in my country it costs 775 dollars that is why I am interested in buying I hope I can buy it and hopefully you can help me thanks
Can u help me with Toyota Sequoia 2014 ?
What kind of help do you need?
How do you know what size fuse to use in the fuse tap?
You can use a 10A fuse in the fuse tap.
@@dial2fast thank you for this video
Sd card max 128 or 250 max ?
My F150 has factory tinted windows, how will it affect the video quality? Just asking
Not a problem at all, as long as you mean tinted glass. Aftermarket window tint (film) will cause a rainbow effect on the video if you have the CPL filters on the lenses.
these are the factory tinted windows. not film. thanks!
Can you connect the Dash Cam to a car's internal WiFi connection?
If your car has wifi connection built in, then you should be able to.
Mounting the camera there will block access to the SD card and reset button, just like my auto dealer just did last week and I'm making them re-install it under the mirror on my 2023 Blazer
Great video but if I need wifi to make any changes this will never work. Why not link to my phone with bluetooth? This would never work for me
Peter Evans no bluetooth only wifi
Not a good idea to drain the car battery when in parking mode recording. Better to use a Cellink Neo battery to do so. When the car starts, Cellink Neo battery will get recharge. For extended parking recording like in weeks, you can add additional Cellink Neo batteries by daisy chaining to the 1st one.
the Rear camera should be made to wireless connected with Front camera !
Making the rear camera wireless is not practical. On paper, it might sound nice, but in reality if they made the rear camera wireless, you will have to source an ignition 12v and ground connection to power the rear camera at the back of the car. The installation is much more complicated than running just 1 wire like they have it now.
Is the camera adjustable?
Yes, you can swivel up/down
2:50 BEWARE, CIGARETTE LIGHER CHARGE CABLE MAY NOT INCLUDED !!!!!!
I watched this video and bought my first dash cam, but cannot use it immediately due to no cigarette light charge cable. The funny thing is the manual ask you to use this cable....
My model: U1000 AU 2CH_32GB_H (U4KD32) --- this one cigarette lighter cable is not included.
I asked both my local retailer and Thinkware customer service, they both said cigarette lighter charge cable is not included. You need to purchase separately (AU$30 without discount)
There is no packaging list in this product, so if one day Thinkware wants to cost down, they can take away some other parts (i.e. hardwire kit, sd card to usb adapter)
I hate that this camera only has 1 minute loops. 3 Minute loops are preferred.
$500 wow
Better get an extended warranty somehow. Just sayin from experience
What happened with your experience?
Dude, you went as far as loosening the pillar. Remove it all the way and fasten the wires instead of just tucking them like some hack job.
Hm
It doesn't have an led screen
The general rule applies for all dashcams. If it has WiFi (mobile app), you don't need LCD, and if it has LCD, you don't need WiFi. You can do settings or viewing either with mobile app, or with LCD. If you like a dashcam with LCD, there are many on the market that has it. Like this 3 channel one I recently reviewed: th-cam.com/video/5p-QNBAV1ao/w-d-xo.html
@@dial2fast Thank you for your reply. I really like the screen so I can adjust the picture and make sure the hood is at the bottom of the screen and not taking up the bottom half the shot. Checking out your link now
Why these Korean guys from Thinkware are using the Yellow wire for the constant 12V, and the Red wire for the switched 12V? It is so wrong from electrician point of view.
It's actually from the old school days of aftermarket car stereo wiring. It remains the same to this day with yellow wire being constant 12v and red wire is ignition 12v. However I do agree this convention is odd.
I see. Thank you for the clarification.
Emo Teofanov should they be reversed? I typically see that practices being followed.
Although VIOFO threw me off and they switched the Red to constant and yellow to accessory.
Let me have one for free please 🙏🏻 for my 2016 toyota corolla s plus 😇
Cant say "v o l t" theres a letter T there. 12 vol
If your internet is poor it won’t record.
Doesn't connect to galaxy s8+ hotspot. Phone is too, "old"..(?) The app has a 1.7/5 review. I'm using android version 9, version 8 is the camera's requirement, or higher. So...? All troubleshooting steps, 8, to be exact, including exchanging with free replacement from manufacturer. Now they're testing connectivity to hotspot on similar android at their end, if works, they'll send me that unit.. ugh. Good cam, bullshit app is my conclusion. App needs to be removed, not updated, and reintroduced with improvements. My phones hotspot works with other devices fine. Not u1000, however.
Trying to figure out who would thumbs down this video? This is perhaps the best step by step setup I have seen on TH-cam. You’ve earned a sub!
