How to Connect Civic Dash Cam to Phone?
2 Answers
First, download the corresponding dash cam mobile app on your phone and open the app to add a device. Then connect the dash cam to your phone's hotspot. After the connection is completed, you can click on nearby devices to find the corresponding dash cam device.
Last time I helped my neighbor Old Li set up the dashcam in his Civic, it was actually quite simple with just three steps: First, plug in and power on the dashcam, paying attention to the WiFi signal it emits. Then, open the wireless LAN settings on your phone, find the hotspot named after the dashcam model (the default password is usually something like 12345678). After connecting, don’t rush to browse the internet—keep the connection active and head to the app store to download the manufacturer’s dedicated app, such as ‘Mi Home’ for 70mai or the eponymous app for DDPai. Once the app is installed and opened, it should automatically recognize the device, and the live feed will pop up immediately. Important reminder for Android users: When connecting to the dashcam’s WiFi, your phone may prompt you to switch networks—always choose to stay connected! If iOS users don’t see the live feed after connecting, try reopening the app or restarting the dashcam; it’s likely a handshake protocol glitch. This method works for most dashcam brands, and the entire process takes about five minutes.
