Thinkware’s new U3000 Pro dash cam acts as a sentry for parked cars and can track stolen vehicles

The new **Thinkware U3000 Pro** dash cam continues to impress, offering robust features and high-quality recording capability for both casual drivers and professionals. This ‘Pro’ version is equipped with a 4K UHD forward-facing camera and a 2K QHD rear-facing camera, both powered by Sony Starvis 2 sensors (IMX678 and IMX675). These advanced sensors ensure excellent footage quality even in poor visibility and low-light situations.

Thinkware has enhanced its **Radar Event Detection system**, now providing a greater detection range than its predecessor. This technology constantly monitors surrounding vehicles, functioning like the sensors and radars found in modern cars. As part of the **Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)**, it offers features such as forward collision warnings and notifications when the vehicle in front moves away.

The U3000 Pro also comes with **integrated Wi-Fi and GPS**, ensuring accurate location recording in the event of an incident. Its updated **Smart Parking Modes** include high-temperature safeguards and battery-saving features. If the dash cam gets too hot, it can enter a low-power mode instead of shutting down completely. To take full advantage of these parked car features, however, the camera must be hard-wired into your vehicle.

For those seeking fully connected features, a **separate LTE Wi-Fi router pack** is available for purchase. This allows you to access all connected functionalities of the dash cam.

For **fleet users, taxi drivers, and professionals**, the U3000 Pro supports an optional infrared camera. This enables three-channel coverage, maximizing protection for drivers and passengers.

**Pricing starts at $429.99 / £399 (around AU$800) for the single-channel U3000 Pro, and $549.99 / £479 (around AU$960) for the two-channel version.** According to Thinkware, the latest model is set to become one of its best-selling dash cams this Christmas—offering extended radar coverage and improved connectivity without a price increase.

Additionally, the outgoing U3000 model is currently discounted on Thinkware’s website and still provides many of the same excellent features, including high-quality dual cameras.
