Works great. Must view video from the screen or take SD card to your computer to view. No streaming to phone. Buy a larger SD card if you can. Video quality looks great. Could be better in rain. Parking mode works well. Gives me red light and speed zone camera alerts that aren’t even on my navigation!

Awesome camera! Simple to use. I've been watching dash cam videos on youtube and it didn't take many of those to convince me this is cheap insurance. One accident (potential lawsuit) will more than pay for this camera. Nothing like having a video proving you were not at fault - priceless!
I also had BB install it. Their employee Daniel knows what he is doing!!

Screen Viewing time too Short

Easy to install. Wish the viewing screen was larger, but I recognize it would obstruct more of the windshield. Still playing with the settings to see if I can get the screen to stay light longer once you touch it.. Wish it had a second mounting bracket so I could move to my Motorhome when I travel towing my car.

This is a good but not great dash cam.
First, the good. The recordings from the front cam are good, the rear recording is acceptable. It was easy to mount and wire with the hardwire kit. The screen is a nice feature to see how both cameras views look. The GPS unit is a nice addition for tracking and red-light camera alerts.
The not so good, the cam doesn't indicate when it is doing parking recording and the included micro SD card only lasted for one year. Also, you have to remove the micro SD card to review recordings as there is no WiFi or Bluetooth connection to access recording.

I wish the cam would be adjustable to turn inside and left, right inside the car. But all in all cam is good. Easy to run the cables in the car. They give a trim tool to use to hid the cables. Which I wasn't expecting.

Great camera's, very easy to use. Turns on automatically and has continuous recording so you don't need to do anything except get in and drive! Used the Geek Squad hardwire install it. Only downside is there is no app to view on your phone with this model.

Love it! Got this as a replacement for a previous purchased camera that had a flimsy windshield attachment. The stability these one has is great. The rear camera works wonders too. One thing I failed to see was that they are touch screen, which is very responsive too.
I got two of this - 1 for a pick-up truck and the other for a Semi Tractor Trailer. - the pick-up has been great, the semi was recently installed. will place update later on.

Got this product for my husbands birthday. He is technical so he was able to install this system so zero wires show. It is really nice and look super professional. BUT, if you don't know what you're doing you should have it installed so you don't have wires hanging down. The system is pretty neat and so far seems to work perfectly.

I have installed the forward facing camera. It works well as expected. I have not installed the rearward facing camera. I am trying to resolve how to attach it to the rear door of my SUV. I will need to install a bracket to fasten it either to the door or ceiling of SUV, which is a 2016 Buick Envision. Additionally, I am disappointed in the number of clips that were provided to hold the wire.cables in place on the ceiling. I received 3 with the order and complained to Thinkware and they sent me 5. Still do not think I will have enough to adequately support and attach the cables. As small and inexpensive as the clips should be, I believe that at least 10 should have been sent with the order. Installation instruction non existent. My rating may be high as the short falls I have come to expect with internet orders/chinese made. My recommendation is a very limited yes, because of previous comments,

Great Quality Footage - Awful Mobile App

Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
My rating is due to the mobile app. This dash camera is an older model and because of this, I believe Thinkware kind of swept it under the rug. I read a lot of reviews stating Thinkware is a good brand for dashcams however, I was really disappointed with the lack of support with their mobile app. It takes an eternity to download footage. It shouldn't be this complicated. It's a shame because I was really impressed with the quality of image but not having access to their mobile app is a buzzed kill. In this day and age, no one wants to connect to an adapter/computer unless necessary or as an extra backup. I mean if I was involved in a car accident I would want to have immediate access to the footage not wait until I got home to plug it into a computer. Because of this, I ended up returning this item and exchanging it for a different brand dashcam.

Hello There, we are sorry to hear that! The X700 is currently our only model with the LCD screen, and everything can be done on the Dash Cam itself. We offer other models which are compatible with the mobile app!

Amazing product with great quality. My fiancé and I purchased these and reviewed some of the footage recently. It is very high quality. The feed is always on a loop so no matter what it is recording. That is very iseful incase something happens that didn’t quite trigger the sensor. Easy to install and easy to set up. Comes with a memory card of 16BG but I purchased a separate one of 132GB.

Want a dead battery and a nonrecording rear camera

Only giving this a 1 star because I can’t give it 0 zero stars.
This product did not work out of the box.
This product is not supposed to record when parking mode is set to off. On Monday morning after being gone for the weekend, I come back to a dead car battery. The camera was recording the whole weekend, draining my battery. I brought this to the attention of customer service and their response was “it doesn’t record when the vehicle is off and parking mode is set to off”.
The front camera will speak when it is turned on. Every time I manually turn the front camera on, it states “Rear Camera Disconnected”. This seems to be a known issue with thinkware as they gave me steps to remedy the problem. Those steps did not work and they are working to provide me a new rear camera.
I thought their customer service was good at first since the rear camera was the first issue. They treated me well, responded quickly. But the issue with the front camera and their response to it tells me to never deal with thinkware again.
