A:AnswerI would look for to channel model that offers front and rear cameras. Most have about a 140 degree + viewing area so you may not need side view. F50 is a one channel camera
A:AnswerYes, its always recording.
When it detects something it takes the 10 seconds prior and 10 seconds after and saves it to a separate folder so it doesn't get overwritten by the continuous recording.
A:AnswerNo built in GPS but a Thinkware GPS add on is available to plug into the F50 camera next to the record button. Not sure if Best Buy sells it but it is available from Amazon.
With the GPS module, you can view your recording with location, speed etc on the side of the recording.
Hope this helps.

A:AnswerIt is tape for the mount and wiring, but I’ve removed it from my dash to relocate and it came off nice and clean. I just a 1 month old car and was very worried about this as well. I’ve had no issues
A:AnswerDepending on which memory partition type you choose, it will allocate more or less 60% of the microSD card storage to continuous mode. Remaining storage space is allocated for other recording modes such as event recording, manual recording, parking mode, etc. If you have further questions, please contact us directly by email (support@thinkware.com) or phone (1-844-865-9273). Kind regards, Thinkware Customer Support
A:AnswerHi there! The amount of files your dash cam will be able to store is dependent on the MicroSD card used and the dash cam's maximum storage capacity. For the F50, the maximum storage capacity is 64 GB, which provides approximately 8 hours of footage before overwriting. Please let us know if you have additional questions! We can be contacted directly by phone (1-844-865-9273) or email (support@thinkware.com). Thinkware Customer Support
A:AnswerThe cord is 4 feet long... Only if you have the cigarette lighter plug in type and no it does not stop recording when you hit a bump if your sensitivity is too high it will record it as a incident if your SD card is small it will rerecord over the incident also keep in mind if you have a small compact car or a stiff suspension your sensitivity has to be at the lowest setting
A:AnswerHi Tommy. There are two ways users can save footage onto an external drive. You can first save a copy of the footage on the MicroSD to location on your personal computer (like DeskTop for example) and then copying and pasting into the external drive. Or you can copy and paste footage on the MicroSD directly to an external drive. Please keep in mind that you will need to have the external drive plugged into your computer first before you can save footage onto it. We hope this answer was helpful to you. If you require further instructions or have additional questions, we can be contacted by phone (1-844-865-9273) or email (support@thinkware.com) Thinkware Customer Support
A:AnswerThe hardwire is extra for around $29. and can be purchased at Best Buy or Amazon. See link attached to this answer. Really don't need it unless you want to record while the car is turned off and parked but battery drain may be an issue.
I have tried many dashcams but the Thinkware F50 is by far the best for me.
Hope this helps.
A:AnswerThe F50 camera supports up to 64g card (it comes with a 8g card) and it does not record while the car is off. But a hardwire kit is available for $29 where it can record while the car is off.
As far as hours of recording, I haven't check but a guess for me would be about 2 weeks on a 64g card depending on usage of course.
Hope this helps.
A:AnswerHi Steve!
The majority of voice guidance alerts can be eliminated by adjusting the "Volume" setting to "OFF/0" with the PC Viewer software that was designed for users to review footage and change settings. If you have not already, you can download the PC Viewer for free from our website here: http://bit.ly/2gGUrVJ
