Product Description

Everything you need to know about the product

The Thinkware U1000 Plus dash cam captures true 4K UHD resolution at the front and 1080P HD resolution at the rear, making it one of the highest-resolution two-channel dash cams on the market. Housed in a low-profile and modern design, the U1000 Plus brings the latest cloud-connected features — including Live View, Locate Vehicle, Geo-Fencing, and Impact Notifications — along with important driver safety features such as ADAS and safety camera alerts.

Ultra High Definition Video Quality

Equipped with Sony STARVIS IMX515 Image Sensors, the U1000 Plus records crisp, clear 4K UHD 2160P front and 1080P HD rear cam footage in both daytime and nighttime conditions. A 135° front and 160° rear wide-angle lens minimises blind spots across the board for comprehensive coverage.

Dynamic 2K at 60FPS

The U1000 Plus also supports 2K QHD recording at 60 frames per second. The high frame rate delivers both smoother and sharper footage for a more detailed and accurate record of events on the road.

Dual Channel Recording

Equipped with a second camera input, the U1000 Plus takes your surveillance capabilities to the next level. Adding the 1080P HD rear camera gives you full coverage front and rear, keeping an eye on everything happening behind your vehicle. The rear camera is included in two-channel kits.




The U1000 Plus is also compatible with the Thinkware MULTMOD Multiplexer Module (sold separately), enabling recording of up to five channels simultaneously for comprehensive vehicle coverage.

Thinkware Cloud Connected

Connect the U1000 Plus to the internet via a hotspot to access Thinkware’s cloud-connected features: Live View, Geo-Fencing, Locate Vehicle, and Impact Notifications. Stay connected to your vehicle from anywhere at any time. Internet and hotspot connection are required.

State-of-the-Art Video Enhancement

The U1000 Plus features High Dynamic Range (HDR), Nighttime Picture Quality Correction, and Automatic Exposure to ensure clear, accurate footage in all lighting conditions — from bright sunlight to tunnels, underground carparks, and poorly lit roads.

Built-In Wi-Fi

Built-in Wi-Fi allows you to control and manage the U1000 Plus, update its firmware, or check, download, and delete recorded videos at any time via the Thinkware Dash Cam app on your smartphone.

Advanced Driver Alert System (ADAS)

The U1000 Plus is equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver safety alerts:

  • Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) — alerts you when the vehicle leaves its lane at speeds over 50km/h
  • Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS) — three-level early warning at speeds over 30km/h
  • Urban Forward Collision Warning System (uFCWS) — city-speed collision warning under 30km/h
  • Front Vehicle Departure Warning (FVDW) — alerts you when the vehicle ahead has moved off at intersections or in traffic jams

Various Autonomous Recording Modes

The U1000 Plus supports a full suite of recording modes:

  • Continuous Recording — automatic one-minute segment recording from engine start
  • Event Recording — three-axis G-Sensor stores footage 10 seconds before and after a collision
  • Manual Recording — press the manual button to save footage separately
  • Advanced Parking Surveillance Mode — captures 20-second footage on impact detection while parked (hardwiring cable required)
  • Audio/Voice Recording — captures clear in-cabin audio alongside video

Parking Surveillance Mode

While the vehicle is parked, the U1000 Plus provides protection through five selectable parking surveillance modes: Radar, Smart, Motion & Impact Detection, Time Lapse, and Energy Saving. Hardwiring installation is required for parking mode operation.

Super Night Vision 3.0

Super Night Vision 3.0 provides enhanced low-light recording, capturing clearer footage in dark environments such as underground carparks, dimly lit streets, and dark alleyways.

Comprehensive Driving Information with GPS

Built-in GPS provides accurate vehicle speed readings and location tracking. GPS data also enables accurate post-incident assessment by recording speed, direction of travel, and impact severity at the time of an event.

Safety Camera Alerts

The U1000 Plus provides timely alerts for fixed speed cameras, red-light cameras, average speed cameras, and mobile speed zones via the built-in GPS — helping you stay within the law and avoid infringements.

High Temperature Protection

An integrated thermal protection system automatically manages heat, protecting the SD card and video files even in the hottest Australian summer conditions.

Fail Safe Recording

Fail Safe Recording ensures that video data is stored safely if power is suddenly disconnected following an accident, so critical footage is never lost.

Memory Card: Format Free 2.0

Memory Card Format Free 2.0 technology maintains card health automatically without requiring manual formatting. The U1000 Plus supports memory cards up to 512GB capacity.

PC Viewer

Thinkware’s proprietary PC Viewer software makes it easy to play back and manage recorded footage on your computer, including review of route history and speed data.

3-Year Warranty

The Thinkware U1000 Plus is backed by a 3-year warranty for added peace of mind.
