How to Adjust the Time on a Car Dash Cam?
1 Answers
For dash cams without GPS functionality, the time needs to be set manually. Please refer to the user manual for detailed instructions. The settings for a dash cam are as follows: 1. Video Resolution: Generally, dash cams offer the following resolution options: 1080FHD, 720P, WVGA, VGA. For memory cards below 8GB, select 720P; for 16GB and above, choose 1080FHD. For daily urban use, set the resolution to 1080P to capture more detailed footage; for long trips, opt for 720P to extend recording time. 2. Loop Recording: Different products offer various options, typically including "Off, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes". Selecting "Off" disables loop recording, and the dash cam will stop recording when the memory card is full without overwriting. "2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes" refers to splitting the video into segments of the specified duration for storage. 3. Motion Detection: It is not recommended to enable this feature while driving due to sensitivity and algorithm issues, which may cause significant frame loss (one tested dash cam lost nearly 20 seconds of footage). For long-term parking, enabling this feature can reduce power consumption, prolong battery life, or lessen the impact on the car battery (when using a parking monitor cable). 4. Audio Recording: When enabled, the dash cam records both video and audio inside the car.
