Impressed with Thinkware U1000 4k Dash Cam

Well, I upgraded my F800 Pro which is a 2k front 1080P rear setup. I had to use the provided front camera hardwire cable as the F800's would not power the U1000 for some reason. I was able to retain the USB cable that connects the rear and front cameras however. So with the dual channel U1000 I now have 4k up front and 2k resolution in the rear camera. Basically the rear camera is the same res as my previous F800 Pro front camera. Here is a small sample of the front camera, if anyone wants to see the rear as well I can post something.

Nice. What’s the price for that set up and how difficult is it to install?

The 2 channel is $399. YOu will need a couple of these too https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OZFNJI6/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 Install is pretty easy. run the power cable from the passenger kick panel up the a pillar and over to the rear view mirror. Then the rear camera cable needs to go to the front camera as well. It's easy though. I just basically went all the way around the head liner on the passenger side.

Can you recall which fuses to tap for the "Battery" wire (constant on) and the "Aux" wire (ignition on) in the kick panel fuse box?

This might help but i don’t remember which is always hot and which is switched. a voltmeter will tell you that.

Thanks, that will help a bunch!

I found this thread while looking around for "always on DC from the fuse box so I can wire a dashcam" (I have a 12VDC battery voltage protector do prevent going below some appropriate level... I used it for years in my previous truck and it's great, just need to move it to my Raptor).

Did you ever find 12VDC always on in the fusebox? I'd happily accept using an upfitter switch (I could leave the switch on most of the time, but then I'd have a way to forcefully disable the dashcam if I want, which is neat).

Yes my pic above shows the always on and the switched on. Not sure which is which in the pic, just test with a volt meter. And the Thinkware has a low voltage protection on it's own. You can set it to turn off if the main battery falls below a certain voltage.
