I bought a NIO car mainly because it has an in-car camera for recording and replaying driving footage, which is particularly safe and convenient. Typically, as long as you enable the driving recorder function, the camera will automatically record and store the footage in the car's system or the cloud. You can access it anytime via the central control screen—just open the settings menu, find the 'Recorder' option, and select the date and time to replay specific clips. I like to check this while driving because it helps me review my driving habits. However, it's important to pay attention to privacy settings, such as turning off the camera when parked to prevent unnecessary leaks. Additionally, the replay feature supports saving footage to the mobile app, making it easy to export videos, but remember to regularly clear storage space to avoid memory overload. Overall, it's a practical feature that suits someone like me who pays attention to detail.
As a user, I'm most concerned about privacy regarding whether NIO's in-car cameras support playback. Yes, cameras generally support video playback, usually operable through the central control system—I'm accustomed to checking recorded clips after parking to see if any incidents occurred. However, this playback feature might involve sensitive data; for instance, if someone is accidentally recorded, it could violate privacy. Therefore, I recommend adjusting access permissions in the settings, limiting playback duration, or enabling encryption features. NIO has considered these aspects in its design, requiring a password or identity confirmation before playback, which I think is good practice, but it's best not to operate it while driving to avoid distraction. Additionally, playback videos can help prove accident liability, making it a double-edged sword.
