Research notes

thinkware.com, thinkware.co.uk and thinkwaredashcam.com blocked fetching. Specs taken from the official English manual PDF (download2.inavi.com, Thinkware's parent iNavi) and Thinkware Australia's official page. Warranty varies by region: Thinkware Australia says 3 years on camera hardware (12 months on microSD); the official EU store says 1 year. UK warranty not confirmed. Cloud (THINKWARE CONNECTED) needs a Wi-Fi hotspot/dongle and depends on service plan. No screen per AU spec table (display '-'); live view is via the app. No official UK store page with a £ price was reachable. The front sensor is named STARVIS 2 on the AU page and the EU store page; the manual only gives 8.4MP 1/1.8". The U3000 Pro is a separate newer model.
