So I only had it for a few days. But so far I’m impressed with the U1000 2ch.
Had an F800 2ch for a couple of years. Later moved to a BlackVue 900S 2ch because I wanted the cloud option. And realized that the TW had a much better power management. The BlackVue started turning off in the middle of the night after a few months. That didn’t used to happen with the TW. Even after not driving the truck for a little over 24 hours.
both cameras installed in new trucks with new optima batteries.
The TW app. Still sucks just like it did before. I don’t see how they haven’t been able to manage to make a better app.
the initial hotspot setup took me a good 20 times. But once past the first hotspot. Adding the others was simpler. Just have to make sure the only hotspot available is the the one your adding.
in my case, including the phone. Is a total of 3 hotspots. The phone, a mobile one and the one in the truck.
now that I’m done with the set up. I keep the phone’s off. When the truck is on. it connects to the trucks hot spot. As soon as I turn the truck off. It connects to the mobile hot spot.
the one thing TW should add.. is a way to give priorities to the hotspots. This way I won’t have to turn off the mobile one when the truck is on. And back on when the truck is off. But at least for now the camera seems to jump from one to the other with no problem.
Video quality is awesome. I’ve tried 4K and QHD. There isn’t much difference. I’ll probably stick with QHD. The license plates seem to appear richer in color and slightly sharper when driving on the freeway.
I’m using a SanDisk 256G but I’m going to try the Samsung 512G .
The cloud seems to be working well and stable but still to soon to know. I do get the notifications on my iPhone even with just opening the trucks door when I’m leaving.
I had to set the impact sensitivity while driving to minimum. Because it would beep just by going over a speed bump a little to fast or the slightest bump or hole on the road.
I should also add. I called TW support twice. Hold time was surprisingly short. And agents were great.
purchased the cam from blackboxmycar got the extended warranty and delivery was prompt.
