    Crackle and white noise from U1000 when starting car after BAB-50 battery has died

    I am guessing the super capacitor is near its end of life. Has anyone tried replacing them with a new one and see if it fixes the issue?

    UPDATES?

    Last time when Thinkware released the U1000, it took them 1 year to fix an issue (don't remember what it was). May I suggest upgrading in Summer 2024.

    U3000 rear camera RADAR does not work

    Well, I guess I will hold off upgrading until they fix the rear radar issue.

    Weird problem with VIOFO HK3 Hardware Kit

    BMW electronics are always fun. If money is not an issue, I would wire it to a Celink battery and use the 12V adaptor. Nevertheless, good luck.

    Hevc H.265

    The person that was handling my case was not very experienced. I have to "walk" and show this individual what's the proper way and professional way to handle such instances. I also reminded this person that video evidence must be presented tamper proof and putting videos on youtube equates to...

    Hevc H.265

    I run H265 on the 4K camera to save space and lower the wear and tear on the SD card. @Dashmellow is correct as I ran into a case where the opposite party said they have trouble viewing a footage that is taken on a latest dash cam video with H.264 compression. Basically the other party's...

    Hevc H.265

    Is H265 enabled by default when the latest firmware is installed? Is there any way to turn it off or turn it back on?

    F800pro and abyssal video quality

    I am not sure if you can reuse the front back cable if you switch from F800 pro to the Viofo A129 Pro. I have the F800 pro (retired) and the A129 Pro. The video quality of the A129 Pro at night is very good (I am super impressed). The only issue I have with that camera is that the parking...

    F800pro and abyssal video quality

    Usually when such situation occurs I will dictate the licence plate and color of the offening vehicle so that my camera will record my voice. When you play it back, you have your voice and the video at your disposal. I started doing that 4 years ago.

    F800pro and abyssal video quality

    The F800 Pro is ~ 4 year old since it was introduced. You can't expect too much compared to late model offerings.

    Issues

    Check the Constant + and Parking mode + wire connection. It might have been reversed.

    Can't wait till spring !!

    The weather in ON is not good. I hear you. Hope you are safe on the east side. You can get a 120 V to 12V adaptor from amazon or any home improvement stores. They are typically used to power small appliances like plug in 12V mini cooler for car or something like that. Using that device you...

    Can't Play Videos on Phone or Laptop, and also Wifi Issues....

    The loading of the icons has to do with windows codec itself. Remember to use VLC Media player to play the dashcam files and not the native app (Films & TV) that came with Windows 10. Samsung EVO cards are probably some of the best cards money can buy (as long as they are genunine). Keep...

    Can't Play Videos on Phone or Laptop, and also Wifi Issues....

    Somtimes if you use a crappy SD card, the video files will get corrupted. Been there, done that. I personally will not buy Lexar633X 128Gb card that was made in Korea in 2017 (History: I used this SD card on my first thinkware F800 / F800 pro camera and the videos, when ran off the SD card...

    Can't Play Videos on Phone or Laptop, and also Wifi Issues....

    The cam records in a slightly different codec H265 (Read more about it here: https://www.blackboxmycar.ca/blogs/news/h265-the-good-the-catch-and-the-how) than many other dash cams. In short, the H265 offers a slightly higher compression rate compared to the H264 codec; however, you need "proper"...

    Initiation keeps repeating

    What is the brand name and size of your memory card and how often do you drive your car? Chances is that your SD card needs to be replaced.

    Has Thinkware stopped supporting U1000?

    Gosh I hope everything is ok in Hong Kong. I saw the crazy rainfall in HK recently. Anyway, the U1000 has been out for ~ 3 years already. There is a good chance that Thinkware will release a new camera to replace the U1000 next year but who knows. If you want a 5 camera setup, I would use...

    Should I buy the U1000 now or wait for the next Thinkware 4k hotness?

    Have you compared 4K recording between the V129 pro and the DR900X Plus? The reason I asked is that the DR900X plus spec looks quite impressive.
