The verdict

Why it scored a 81

The flagship successor to the U3000, adding HDR recording plus optional LTE and cabin cameras, with radar on both cameras for buffered parking mode, a supercapacitor instead of a battery, and a 64 GB card included, which is why Features leads at 96. Digital Camera World gave it 4/5 but found the radar parking mode overly sensitive, there is no screen, and DashCamTalk reports rear radar failing when the rear cable is not seated. At $499.99 front-only and about $550–580 for two channels, Warranty is the softest at 55.
