![]() The Rear camera is small and lightweight, and has some ability to adjust angle once it is mounted: Note: Before mounting the camera check the image in the X700 screen to make sure you have the camera mounted in the correct orientation or your images with being upside down. The included rear camera cable is more than long enough to reach the back in most vehicles and one could choose to mount the rear camera pretty much anywhere, including the 3rd brake light if you just want a view of the outside rear. I had no problem attaching it to the roll bar so I could monitor the back window and my two sons in the backseat of the Wrangler XJ. The optional rear camera also comes with several 3M sticky pads. The Thinkware X700 Dash Cam as tested was very easy to install. Thinkware realizes that the driver needs to understand these alerts when hearing them so they have a website where you can study the alert tones and better understand why you are getting the alerts here: Thinkware ADAS 101. The various alerts use very different tones. There are two Front Collision warning systems: One is the Urban uFCWS when it is only triggered with the vehicle is traveling 19 mph or slower, and the regular FCWS which is triggered when the vehicle is traveling above 19 mph. The ADAS built into the Thinkware X700 Dash Cam is designed to alert the driver about any potential forward collisions or lane wandering with a tone. The Optional GPS system will also work with the onboard Advanced Driver Assistance System(ADAS) to warn you of speed or red light cameras coming up along your route. ![]() This is a great option in case you are ever pulled over in a speed trap, or in an accident: It gives more information to your insurance company and any court when fighting tickets or suing the offending party. Thinkware also sells an optional GPS receiver which allows the X700 to track speed, time, and route history of the vehicle. I did that in my Jeep with no battery problems. You could also plug the 12-volt power supply cable to a non-switched 12-volt power socket if one is conveniently located near the dashboard. The Hardwire power kit allows you to ensure your vehicle’s safety when it is parked and your engine is shut off by supplying constant power to the High Capacitance power system in the X700 Dash Cam, with the ability to shut itself down if the car battery demonstrates low voltage. My test unit also included the rear camera, the rear camera cable, and the hard wire power kit. The view screen is 2.7 inch diagonal LCD touchscreen and you can easily play back your videos or navigate through the various menus and settings right on the screen. The X700 Dash Cam uses SONY Starvis technology combined with a 142.7-degree lens to capture full HD 1080P at 30 fps. Unlike other units I’ve recently tested, the X700 does not include a suction cup type mount so this is a semi-permanent mount. Inside the box, you’ll find the Thinkware X700 Dashcam, a DC 12 volt power cord, a 16 Gb Micro Sd Card with Sd card reader body, the windshield mount with an extra sticky pad, and some sticky pads to cleanly install the necessary power cable or any optional cables. The Thinkware X700 retail box is black with red graphics with a clear photo of the X700 Dash Cam and all the details and options which can be bundled with the device. The Thinkware X700 has some pretty interesting features. I’ve been looking at a lot of similar products during the summer and every single device has a great purpose: To protect your property. However, I did have time to put the Thinkware X700 Dash Cam into my Jeep Wrangler for a couple of weeks for a test run and a lot of test rides.
