THINKWARE Launches Its First 4K Dash Cam, the U1000

SAN FRANCISCO - Sept. 30, 2019 - PRLog -- Thinkware, a world-leading dash cam company, announced today the launch of its U1000 dash cam, the first Thinkware camera to feature Ultra HD 4K resolution. The U1000 also is the first to come equipped with Energy Saving 2.0, a revolutionary development of its parking that drastically lowers power consumption.

Thinkware's highest resolution dash cam to date, the U1000 offers clear and detailed video in both the front and rear cameras, whether day or night. With Ultra HD 4K resolution available in the front camera, it offers four times more pixels than Full HD and a wide 150-degree viewing angle. The U1000 also supports dynamic 2K Quad HD recording at 60 frames per second in both the front and rear cameras.

For night-time driving, the U1000 also includes Super Night Vision 2.0. Using Image Signal Processing (ISP) technology, Super Night Vision 2.0 allows for recording clear video in any low-light situation, such as dark alleys, parking lots, or low lit streets.

Another first for the U1000 is Energy Saving 2.0, a new parking mode that greatly improves efficiency of electricity consumption. With the parking modes in previous generation of dash cams, the low power mode (Energy Saving) is operated at an average of 64.1mA, but the ultra-low power mode (Energy Saving 2.0) of U1000 is operated at 7.8mA which improves power efficiency and extends power retention time while in parking mode. And for immediate visibility when an impact is detected, the U1000 will wake up within a second and immediately record for the next 20 seconds.

In the US, the U1000 is available on October 4th, priced at $399.99 US (1 Channel, 32GB Micro SD, Cigar jack power cable and standard items), and $499.99 US (2 Channel, 32GB Micro SD + Cigar jack & Hardwire power cable, CPL filter and standard items). The optional RADAR Sensor costs $89.99  US, available through individual & online channels.
