I bought this X500 model because of the amazing features that were nearly impossible to find out about. Not even the Thinkware Website gave an adequate description of the features. The final and best feature list came from the manual download. Here is the precise list of features that make the X500 a top choice: We would have to pay a LOT of money to get these features installed in a new car. So here is the best description of features:
' Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS) Lane departure warning alerts the driver when the vehicle moves out of its lane. LDWS is activated only when the vehicle is moving faster than 50km/h (30mph) * Default setting : 80km/h (approx 50mph) + Photo of the feature display in the manual.
' Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS)
Forward collision warning alerts the driver when the vehicle is approaching the vehicle ahead at a high closing rate. FCWS is activated only when the vehicle is moving faster than 30km/h (18mph) + Photo of the feature display in the manual.
' Front Vehicle Departure Warning (FVDW)
Front vehicle departure warning alerts the driver when the vehicle ahead starts to move forward from a complete stop. The vehicle must be at a complete stop for more than 4 seconds in order for the FVDW notification to be activated. + photo of the feature display in the manual
' Safety Camera Alert :
Using GPS and a database, safety camera alert will warn the driver when approaching traffic enforcement zones such as red light camera, speed camera, average speed camera, and mobile speed zones. + photo of the feature display in the manual
Data base is automatically updated with the latest firmware update. X500 recommends updating the firmware every 6 months from our PC. Insert the Micro-SD card into the PC, then follow the download procedure at the x500 website. It can use a 64GB Micro-SD card for up to 48 hours of recording time. The custom installation cable must be ordered separately. The rear view camera is optional.
>2.7-inch clear display
On the LCD screen of the Dash Cam, you can check real-time and recorded videos, change the settings and format your memory card. Using the 2.7 inch clear display, you no longer have to connect to a PC, MAC or smart device; you can simply perform these tasks in your car. X500 display has optimal specifications for displaying clear and sharp images.
>2.4 Million Pixel High Resolution Image Sensor
The 2.4 million pixel high resolution SONY Exmor CMOS image sensor can greatly improve the quality of night time images as well as day time images. Now, everything in front of X500 becomes brighter and clearer.
>140 Degree Wide Angle
The highly precise optical glass lens records all surrounding images around your car, without missing a movement, while minimizing distortion. The 140 degree wide angle lens can record both front and side situations of the car.
>Strong Processor, Ambarella A7
X500 utilizes the best CPU with high specification applied in sports cam for its smart performance. It minimizes power consumption while providing optimal performance. X500 is a globally competitive Dash Cam that can reliably support major functions such as Front/Rear Full HD Ultra-high Quality Recording, Dual Save, WDR, Super Night Vision, Smart AE and others.
>Vivid Driving Information Based on the Built-in GPS
Using the GPS data in X500, it can precisely pinpoint the vehicle's driving speed, location and routes on the map. The GPS helps you to accurately assess the status of the accident by providing you with the vehicle speed, the direction of collision and the severity of impact. The video recording feature not only store driving footages, you can also use them to track your holiday travel routes with family and friends. When your teenagers drive your car, they can review the routes and the driving data to improve on their driving techniques as well.
>Accelerometer G-Sensor
The X, Y, Z axes of the G sensor allow you to measure fluctuations in gravity, speed or rotation. At a glance, you can understand the axial movement and impact during an accident.
>Viewer for Checking Clear and Precise Video
With smart functions and interface kept simple for first time users, THINKWARE DASH CAM allows you to easily and conveniently playback recorded videos. Through PC or Mac viewer, you can playback rear and front videos, and download recorded videos with information on your driving history and speed. With just a few clicks on the viewer, you can change the dash cam setting, format the memory card or update the firmware.
>Automatic Temperature Sensitive Shutdown Protection
Specially designed heat-discharging structure and high-temperature-blocking functions safely protect the product and its images stored under the strong sunlight. If the temperature rises and exceeds a certain level, the SELF-PROTECTION SHUTDOWN function will automatically switch off the device to protect the stored videos.
>Secure fail-safe recording
Even if the power is automatically turned off, the recorded video is safely saved. If the power is turned off accidentally due to a car accident or malfunction; or if the power supply to the dash cam is blocked, you can use the FAIL-SAFE RECORDING to safely preserve the videos being recorded. Now, even if the dash cam power is turned off accidently, you can still safely view the recorded video.
Coming up next I will review each of the above features and discuss how well each works. Check this review in October.

My first test drive was a disaster. False alerts every few minutes for no apparent reason, primarily crash alerts. So I turned off all the alerts except the lane change alerts and I set those to low sensitivity. My plan is to set up and adjust one feature at a time, starting with the lane change alerts, which was my main reason to buy this unit. The Red Light Camera + Speed Camera in my area failed to get alerts, so it must not be in their database. Who do I call to get the database updated? No instructions to be found for this chore.
11/19/15
After setting up the adjustments this fine dashcam exceeds ALL of my expectations. My main reason for getting this unit was the lane change alert for when I drift into another lane. This works PERFECTLY every time. Collision detection also works perfectly. I am one happy camper. I highly recommend this dashcam to everyone.
PROBLEM,
Not enough cable clamps were supplied to mount the cable. Order a dozen more stick on cable clamps to finish the installation.

Everything I expect in a dashcam is here!
The adhesive on this is far superior then what the rexing cameras provide and I have a lot of confidence that this will not fall off the windshield due to Oklahoma summer heat. Been using it for a couple of days now and hasn't given me any problems. If you are driving an suv the rear camera cable may not be long enough to be hidden away so prepare to make a sacrifice and have visible wires running through your suv. It will probably take me a couple of months to run through the options on the camera but if its anything like my wife's thinkware x500d, it will have everything that I would need. Highly recommend this brand. Picture quality has been superb thus far.
