Thinkware U3000 Pro 2CH 4K UHD Front + 2K QHD Rear Dash Cam with OBD-II Cable

I just got this camera professionally installed in my 2016 Subaru Legacy. It looks great and works amazingly well. I love the clear video resolution, superior night vision, and built in radar sensor. The settings in the Thinkware Dash Cam Link app provide numerous options to choose from, to make driving as safe as possible.

Excellent Dash Cam, with great image quality. I had the previous version and Thinkware have clearly improved the image quality, especially at night. It's also great that Thinkware made the U3000 Pro compatible with the U3000 cables - I was able to leave the old cables in place and simply plug in the new U3000 Pro front and rear cameras. Recommended.

Better quality but no longer connects to wifi hotspots

While the camera is an improvement in terms of video quality, I feel Thinkware's choice for not allowing the camera to connect to wifi hotspots anymore is a serious step back. The new U3000 Pro only connects to the cloud via a separate LTE module, which currently sets you back another $149 and offers less generous cloud options than wifi does. From testing the LTE module with the U3000 Pro, I found that I often ran into connectivity issues and it would turn itself off. Viewing any video (live or recorded) also went with a lot of buffering. Another serious downside is that the U3000 Pro's radar function does not allow the LTE module to be on, meaning you'll have to choose one or the other. So while I feel the video quality is better on this new camera, I feel the choice for allowing only LTE was a very bad choice. The three stars I'm giving the camera is solely for the quality and the larger SD card capacity. But, honestly, I wouldn't recommend this camera if you want to use cloud services while parked near a wifi hotspot. If you are able to connect to your home's network, I'd go with the older U3000 instead. You'll end up with a more reliable connection and more cloud-related abilities. Sad to say, but I've decided to return the U3000 Pro.
