RADAR Module

Pair the Radar Module with the U1000Plus/U1000/X1000/Q1000 Dash Cam to extend its parking surveillance duration while reducing power consumption when set to Energy Saving Mode 2.0.

What is the RADAR Module?

The Thinkware RADAR Module is an optional accessory compatible with the U1000, X1000, and Q1000 Dash Cams, that increases the recording duration of Impact video files in Energy Saving Mode 2.0.

How does the RADAR Module work?

The RADAR Module will detect the motion of a vehicle-sized object and allow the dash cam to prepare to save an event clip.

If an impact is detected, a 20-second video (10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the impact) is saved in a dedicated folder on the MicroSD card.

When no impacts are detected, the dash cam does not save the footage and resumes Energy Saving Mode 2.0.
