Thinkware - U3000

I have this and it's pretty bomb : https://www.bestbuy.com/site/thinkware-u3000-4k-uhd-front-and-2k-qhd-rear-dash-cam-with-built-in-gps-wifi-and-radar-black/6552793.p?skuId=6552793

I have the Thinkware U3000 2 channel. It fits my needs but I miss the screen my viofo a129 pro had. The rear camera on the Thinkware fits under my rear sunshade which is why I went with this one.

Rather than supporting Amazon's evil ways and potentially getting a counterfeit product, I recommend supporting a smaller retailer that's going to offer you a decent price, actual support, and knowledgeable reviews. I usually order from [https://www.blackboxmycar.com/](https://www.blackboxmycar.com/) and have been very happy with their service. Now, since you asked for "best" and not "best at a reasonable price" I think you'll be looking at a Thinkware U3000 Pro (4K front and 2K rear), BlackVue DR970X-2CH (4k front and HD rear cameras) or VIOFO A329T (4K front and 2K rear cameras). I personally like the Viofo ones better because of the screen, but they don't have cloud capabilities. So, if you want to protect yourself from auto theft, where the camera leave along with the car, then you'll want something that's cloud-enabled like the BlackVue. In reality, each of the options above are way more cameras than anyone needs and are likely more expensive than what you're willing to pay. Each manufacturer also offers decent cameras with similar specs for much less. But without knowing your price point and you looking for "the best", those are it. For me, I'm more concerned about recording while driving and watching out for parking lot dings, so I'm fine with the Viofo. I have the A229 Pro in two of my cars and they have been flawless (https://www.blackboxmycar.com/products/viofo-a229-pro-4k-uhd-3-ch-dash-cam). It's available as a front (1ch), front+rear (2ch), or front+rear+inside (3ch) option.

I have U3000 and night vision is great. I was rear ended 3 days after install at night and footage shows every expression on the ladies face as she slammed into me. Tech support is amazing, I work in IT and deal with support companies all day and THINKWARE support is better than 90% of computer software vendors

THINKWARE U3000 with OBD ii cable has the best parking mode function with dual radar to identify activity. They just released U3000 Pro with HDR and improved rear camera. I have 2 of them and very happy with quality and support. Ordering the Pro for my new car next week with OBD as well

I have (2) THINKWARE U3000 dual Dashcams and consider them excellent. Customer service is next level too. Parking mode with the OBD ii connector and dual radar provides the longest parking protection without buying expensive battery pack. I just sold my Honda so selling my U3000 and buying the U3000 Pro to install in new car next week. So yes happy user. But now 3rd. Camera, and no brand is going to give you that 360 view. If interior camera was wide angle never be in focus inside and outside, lenses don’t work like that

I use a Thinkware U3000 2ch plugged into the OBD port on my car. It did fully catch a hit and run in parking mode earlier this year. I plugged it in directly on a 1999 Honda CR-V for over a year and now on an 04 cr-v and I’ve never had any battery issues with it

In my WRX I use a Garmin DashCam Mini 2.  In my Outback I use a Thinkware U3000 dual camera setup with Thinkware iVolt Mini battery for parking mode.  Thinkware setup is excellent and has advanced parking mode features. Garmin is good enough for when you just need a camera while you are driving.   I typically use the Outback for road trips. WRX is driven much less and I did not find the bulkier/more expensive Thinkware setup to be necessary for how I use it. 

I have a Thinkware U3000 4K UHD Dual-Channel Dash Cam, and I like it pretty well. The app can be a bit of a pain in the rear. ETA: It has 24/7 recording options.

I have a Thinkware U3000 dual-cam setup connected to a Powercell 8 LiFePo4 external battery. This setup allows me to use the dashcam's parking modes without worrying about draining the car's 12V battery . The external battery lasts for several days or weeks depending on how much activity it detects. LiFePo4 batteries are safer, mode durable and can withstand extreme temperatures. They're ideal for use with dashcams.

I just got the thinkware U3000 front and rear and it’s honestly real sleek. It records while the truck is parked and the video quality is excellent. You can download the footage straight from the app. Haven’t had any issues so far.

I got the thinkware u3000 for front and back. It’s been solid! It even records while the car is in park. 2 months into and haven’t had issues. Video is 4k and connects via app. Haven’t had issues with the app.

Thinkware U3000 is best right now for parking mode and battery drain I believe. Get a Powercell 8 as well, hardwired, and you should be good to go.
