2 Months ago i bought the N1 to use as "rental car travel" cam and posted my thoughts about it.
@Jeff_Vantrue saw that and asked me if I wanted to review the N5, which I gladly accepted.
I've had it for about 2 weeks now, but only just managed to set it up .
So still in full test mode, but...
looking at buying this as a travel dashcam, but it seems a bit outdated as it came out several years ago
However it seems there is a "2023 version" ?

Does anyone have any experience with this new camera ? (there's no dedicated forum so far)
i'm not so great on the technical side of things, so not sure if this is a better camera then the U1000?
it seems to have an integrated hotspot which is nice
sometimes the camera just goes back to factory default and i can't figure out why
once it happened after a format, not normal, but ok; i sort of "understood".
but a few times now it did it by itself
wouldn't be a huge deal, except factory setting has park mode off...
any idea what it could be ...?
noticed at startup it would give the "on your smartphone connect to wifi" message,
which shouldn't be played, as i'm in hotspot mode.
Then tried to connect with my phone, but got "password incorrect" (it definitely was correct)
only option left was to reset camera (hold mic & record button...
thinkware makes them ( 7m cable ), but i can't find them anywhere
Only seller i found was in the USA and they do not ship to Europe ( Thinkwarestore )
who can point me in the right direction ?
Cheers
I have TWO cellink pro’s in my car and they’ve always performed without fail (since 2017).
These batteries were in me E-CLASS, with which I had an accident and car was totalled.
So for over 6 months the batteries were at my house without being charged and this “killed” the capacity somewhat...
This article: https://dashcamtalk.com/thinkware-u1000/ , states:
"while the U1000 is connected to WiFi for the app or cloud features, the recording quality is reduced from 4K to 2K".
But does this mean it's recording in 2k as soon as it's connected to wifi, or does it switch only when you...
Camera disconnects from mobile hotspot, won't reconnect unless I reconnect it to my Iphone's hotspot first.
Then, when i switch off the hotspot on my Iphone, the camera reconnects to the mobile hotspot.
this happens to BOTH my cameras (in same car)
I'm on the latest FW
Mobile hotspot has a...
I totalled my car due to an aquaplaning and the rear window "exploded", so I lost the camera.
I still have a rear cam from a F770, and was wondering if i can connect this to the U1000 ?
And if so, at what resolution will the camera film ?
Anyone know where I can find a windshield mount?
Though it would be very easy, but only found a few that would cost me 15 euro, plus another 15 to ship (to Europe)

al the files are there an i can play them one by one (front/rear/front/rear...)
but the player won't join front & rear together. (the gps data/map does play simultaneously )
My 770 dual is walking on it's last legs and I'm thinking of replacing.
I had the q800 at some point but returned it as not impressed with the image (ie not better than the 770)
in fact, i find that since the excellent 750, the quality has only been going down, while prices have gone up.
I...
