Yo Robb, That's exactly what I want too. But, with 4K@60fps all cameras, and a Parking Mode that doesn't require Hardwiring, or an Auxiliary Battery. I'm guessung, I'll be waiting for a WHILE. Like 2030. Lol -Chuck
Hi Sharelle, each dash cam has its own wi-fi network, so you're just switching in between to look at the footage. Good to see such great responses to these videos - we'll definitely try more in the future!
@@blackboxmycar Hopefully Thinkware can come up with a 4 way system that will rewrite only one WiFi signal for all 4, where those of us that already have 2 can just purchase 2 more and it will still function as a 4 way system.
Would love to see a bit more about actual usage of this type of setup - not just installing and driving around. I’m curious if two sets of 2CH cams, interfere with each other’s signal and is app able to work with both. If you have a quarter rear window on the side of your car, it might be a better choice for placing the side camera. Yes, the view will prioritize more of the back, but at least you won’t have to worry about lowering rear passenger windows.
I have been using the u1000 since preorder and have enjoyed it. I used an a129 duo as my rear camera setup and just haven’t gotten around to installing the “rear” cameras to the side windows. The a129 head unit is my main rear facing dash cam. The reason I went with the a129 duo as a rear/side window setup is because I use the Bluetooth module to lock footage. I wouldn’t be able to remotely lock footage if I used another u1000. I’d love to though if Thinkware comes out with some sort of remote.
Hey Joseph this is kinda off topic, what do you think of a 4k ir dashcam facing outside instead of inside the cabin to catch license plate at night? Because I was thinking the ir would reduce the light glare on license plate at night which would give you better details??
Hi Dave, with a 4K IR dash cam, typically it will be 4K for the front and 1080P for the interior. We haven't come across any instances where the interior camera would be 4K as well :)
Very cool video! The mounting of the side cameras seemed odd. The back windows can’t be rolled down anymore. Maybe on the left and right side of the front window?
Thanks. You're right by mounting the camera on the back windows will make them unusable whilst the cameras are mounted. The most ideal location for the side cameras would to be on a set window that does not go up or down but there wasn't one in the car we used!
great video!!!would you be able to set up the 4 channel u1000 hardwire and use the blackview bi750 battery in parkmode to see how long it will last.. Keep up the good work guys!
If I install or plan it on a 4 channel dash cam, would be on its 4 corners of the car so that it will cover all angles. I don't care other crashes or comet passing by as long as I'm cover when accidents or unusual things happen :)
Cool experiment and funny, you didn't mention what the power results were from the battery pack (i.e. is this configuration sustainable if the battery pack is hardwired or just plugged into the cigarette lighter). One other thing, I have a 2016 F150 truck and would like to see one or more of your vendors (i.e. Blackvue or Thinkware) who can and will create a 2 channel camera where the rear camera can be installed in the top center area of the tailgate. I believe the company that does this will have a goldmine of sales from other pickup truck owners like myself. My backup camera is installed there and it just seems to me this wouldn't be that big of a challenge for either one of those two companies. Thanks!
Hi Frank, the power results are definitely sustainable as it's pulling from the battery pack. It's just that when the battery pack is hardwired, it's being charged too. Without hardwiring, you're simply using the battery from the battery pack, and it will be good for a period of time. For your truck, I'd recommend a DR750X-2CH IR Truck dash cam. It's designed so that the rear camera gets installed on the outside of your truck. If you'd like more information, please email us at info[at]blackboxmycar.com. We can help!
On the side cam view can you roll down your window with pulling the wires out? Or just set it and forget it. Or should it be place on the smaller back window that doesn't move.
If the cameras are placed on the rear windows then they would not be able to be moved because of the wiring. Ideally it should be placed on the smaller back window that doesn't move
Should be good! Our only concern is that I'm not sure about the tint on your rear window, but brightness is adjustable with the Thinkware U1000 so it should be okay. If you have any questions or if you want a second opinion, please contact us at info[at]blackboxmycar.com.
Is the Thinkware U1000 overrated? What’s the life span of this dash camera, image quality, glitches versus a Viofo Pro Duo or Blackvue DR900? Based on the reviews I’ve read on the Internet, people have problems with this dash camera for the price. If anyone is spending $400-$500, that’s unacceptable
Can you recommend me a 4k 60fps (front view only) dash cam (it should be good and i hope under 1000$) to make sense or should I go in the direction of go pro 9, dslr or smth similar? Gl further.
Hey there, unfortunately 4K 60FPS dash cameras are not available as far as we know. You can certainly use a GoPro/DSLR for your shooting, but it depends on what you're using them for. We wouldn't use a GoPro for long-term shooting / as a dash cam if that's what you're using them for.
The only thing I don't like about this is there's a "blind spot" in the Transition because the stupid cameras don't have wide enough lenses. Also, I would have liked this video to have given more info, on hooking things up (the wiring/boxes/etc), do the cameras "sync" in the App, etc.
Hi leeuniverse, this was just a fun experiment for testing two sets of dash cams in one car. It wasn't meant to be anything professional. If you're looking for any professional installation, please contact our team at info[at]blackboxmycar.com.
Hey there, very gently! It helped that it was cold so the adhesive wasn't as effective as it could've been, and we carefully slid a card in between to gently pry it off.
What was that song u used in your videos like 4 years ago, i like it and i cant find it, i tried Soldado de le calle, but it has words can you please tell me?
Are those new jacket from Arc’teryx on the Northshore? I guess there will be 2 Thinkware U-1000 on your website under Clearance & Refurbished Discounted Open Box! LoL
Hi Kenneth, unfortunately not :) but we did get them from a local printing company! We have a couple of dash cams that we test with for all of our videos, so we're not giving these ones up anytime soon ;)
It's to bad 4 channel systems have limited options (usually taxi CCTV 4 channel, but advantage is any size 2.5 ssd/hdd can be installed into them so long recording times but usually limited to 720p/1080p and seem scetchy low £250-300 price for system Excluding HDD) be interesting if you could buy some actual 4 channel Systems as they normally have I have sun visor monitor that connects to the main unit under the seat
What I want to see (actually, buy) is a TRUE 4-channel system - one "brain" with front-facing camera, plus 3 additional cameras.
Yo Robb,
That's exactly what I want too.

We have some things that we're working on for 2021, but it's too early to announce so far!
Would the U1000 sets work on a 2015 F150? Curious about the rear window angle. Thanks!
@@PanzerPlatform 1
That will be cool with one brain four eyes parking mode without wire too much.
@0:14 that's a really cool looking coffee mug in the upper right corner of the screen! I'm actually drinking from one myself right now.
Yo.
If the parts were sold as components - cameras & DVR, "dash cams" could work like home security cameras.
Hi Hugh, absolutely. Technically if you have them parked in your driveway, they're already acting as "home security cameras" :)
I would love to see how it looks in the app in park mode. I am interested in how you registered 2 sets to 1 phone.

How could I not notice?
Thanks again for the 17 shoutouts.
6:32 I think уоu got the locations confused, bottom-left should be "rear unit back", and top-right should be "front unit side left".
Nice video, did you run the power fra 1 or 2 seperate battery packs ? Also did you hardwire it ?
I was laughing so hard when the cam practically pranked him by falling XD
