Radar Module
When in Energy Saving Mode 2.0, the Radar Module allows the U1000 dash cam to extend its Parking Surveillance mode duration by reducing the power consumption. When a motion is detected by the Radar Module, the U1000 wakes up and gets ready to record. 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 U1000 does not save the footage and resumes Energy Saving Mode 2.0.
* Optional Radar Module is sold separately.
* Energy Saving Mode 2.0 will disable all THINKWARE CLOUD features.
* Radar motion detection requires optional Radar Module, and only enabled in Energy Saving Mode 2.0.
* Sedan or greater sized vehicle can be detected. People passing by will not be detected.
* Due to nature of Ultra-high Frequency radiation, the distance and degree of detection can be different.
* Not every object is guaranteed to be detected.
* Metal object can cause malfunction of the radar detection.
* Read user manual before using radar module.

STRONG IMPACT NOTIFICATION
In the event of a crash, the alert feature can help the driver to notify others of an emergency situation when the driver is not in the condition to do so. The family or the owner of the car can then remotely check on the situation from their location. When the car experiences an impact with a g-force level greater than 3g or 4g while driving, the dash cam will automatically send a push notification alert of the impact to the user’s smartphone logged in to the THINKWARE CLOUD app. A 20 second video of the incident (10 seconds before and after the incident) is also saved on the THINKWARE CLOUD server, and a push notification alert of the video is sent to the user, which can be checked later and downloaded from the app.
* THINKWARE CLOUD requires your smartphone or mobile hotspot device's internet connection to be paired with the Dash Cam while driving to send and receive notifications.

STRONG IMPACT NOTIFICATION WHILE PARKED* **
Receive an alert when a strong impact is detected during Parking Surveillance mode*, and check remotely the 20 second incident video file via cloud using the app. The dash cam must have Parking Surveillance mode enabled and be connected to a mobile hotspot.

I received a used camera after paying $399.99 for the U1000 very bad experience. 👎 I returned it and asked for a new one that never been used and they sent me back same exact dash cam. Worst experience and I don’t recommend them at ALL.
