The methods to play back dash cam recordings are: 1. Remove the TF memory card from the dash cam and insert it into a card reader, then connect it to a computer to locate the video files in the corresponding folder; 2. Connect the dash cam to a computer using a USB cable, and the computer will recognize the dash cam as a mass storage device. Sometimes the dash cam screen will prompt the user to select the storage device. Once opened, the content can be accessed; 3. Many dash cams come with a built-in screen, allowing playback directly on the device. The method is to pause the recording, press the (Mode) MODE key, scroll down to find the recorded videos, and click OK to play; 4. For dash cams with WIFI functionality, the recorded videos can be viewed in the corresponding mobile app.

Viewing playback on a dash cam is actually quite simple, and I usually use a few methods to get it done. For devices with built-in screens, just press the playback option in the menu to select and view the date and video files for playback. If there's no screen, remove the SD card and insert it into a computer or card reader, then use a video player to open the corresponding folder and watch the MP4 recordings. I highly recommend using a mobile app—download the brand-specific application like Hikvision's app, connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi hotspot, and click playback in the app interface to watch and download videos in real time. Remember to operate only when parked to avoid distractions while driving. Regularly back up important footage to cloud storage or a computer hard drive to prevent overwriting and loss. Occasionally formatting the SD card helps maintain smooth device performance, and the app can also set recording resolution and loop cycle for easy daily management.

What does the RPM on a car mean?

The RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of a car refers to the rotational speed of the engine. The engine's RPM is related to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine. In other words, the effective power of the engine varies with different RPMs. Therefore, when describing the effective power of an engine, the corresponding RPM must also be specified. Here is some relevant information: 1. The number of revolutions per minute of the engine crankshaft is called the engine RPM. The engine's RPM affects the output torque, which indirectly influences the vehicle speed. The number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine is related to the engine RPM. The engine RPM and vehicle speed are not directly proportional, but generally, the higher the RPM, the faster the vehicle speed. 2. The reason for the discrepancy between vehicle speed and RPM is primarily due to the presence of the transmission. The transmission consists of multiple gears with different tooth counts and sizes. If a small gear drives a large gear, the overall RPM decreases, whereas if a large gear drives a small gear, the RPM increases.

Do Used Cars in Beijing Come with License Plates?

In Beijing, purchasing a used car does not include the license plate. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Beijing's regulations on the handling of license plates in used car transactions stipulate that the seller's license plate cannot be transferred with the vehicle. The license plates of used cars are uniformly managed by the vehicle management office. After consumers purchase a used car and complete the transfer procedures, they can only select a new license plate. 2. If the original owner wishes to retain the license plate, they can submit an application within six months after the transfer and registration of the used car, provided they meet the corresponding conditions. The retained old license plate can continue to be used on a newly purchased car. The three conditions that the original owner must meet to retain the license plate are: 1. The owner must have used the original vehicle for at least three years. 2. The newly purchased car must be a new vehicle, and the application must be submitted within six months. 3. All previous traffic violation records must be cleared.

Why is the Vehicle Skid Light On?

Reasons for the vehicle skid light being on: 1. Accidentally pressing the ESP off button; 2. Loose or faulty sensor connectors; 3. Short circuit in wiring or related fuse blown; 4. Software issues causing poor signal transmission; 5. ABS pump failure. If the vehicle skid light occasionally turns on and then off, it indicates the electronic stability control system is activated during driving, which is normal. If the light stays on continuously, it means there is a fault in the electronic stability control system. First, turn off the stability control switch and then turn it back on. Next, turn off the engine and the vehicle's power supply, wait for about a minute, and then restart the engine to check if the light remains on. If it still stays on, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop for a computer diagnostic check of the fault code.

How to Drain Oil from a Car?

Methods for draining oil from a car include: 1. Draining oil from the fuel filter under the car body or by opening the oil drain screw under the fuel tank; 2. Alternatively, you can remove the engine's return oil pipe, start the engine, and collect the oil while it's running. However, extreme caution is required to prevent oil from splashing, especially onto the ignition system, as it can easily cause a fire; 3. Remove the fuel inlet pipe, locate the fuel pump relay, use wires to bridge the fuel pump relay to activate the fuel pump, and collect oil from the engine's fuel inlet pipe. This is a common method for draining oil in fuel-injected gasoline vehicles; 4. You can also use a specialized fuel tank oil extractor available on the market for oil extraction. When oil needs to be drained, you can also visit a repair shop or a 4S store to use professional equipment for oil draining.

Does the six-year exemption from vehicle inspection include the sixth year?

The six-year exemption from vehicle inspection does not include the sixth year. The six-year exemption does not mean that no inspection is required for six years; it only means that the vehicle does not need to go through the inspection line. For new vehicles, the inspection sticker must be renewed every two years during the first six years. The sixth year is still part of the first six years, so the inspection sticker must be renewed, but the vehicle does not need to go through the inspection line. Starting from the seventh year, the vehicle must undergo an annual inspection. Inspection regulations for vehicles not eligible for the six-year exemption: 1. Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first five years; after five years, they must be inspected every six months. 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first ten years; after ten years, they must be inspected every six months. 3. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every two years within the first six years; after six years, they must be inspected once a year; after 15 years, they must be inspected every six months.

How to Extract Fuel from the Car's Fuel Tank?

Methods to extract fuel from the car's fuel tank: 1. Park the car facing uphill on a slope—the steeper the slope, the easier it is to extract fuel; 2. Put the gear in first and engage the handbrake; 3. Open the fuel tank cap and insert one end of the hose into the tank, extending it as far as possible to the bottom; 4. Use airflow to draw out the gasoline, which can be done by mouth suction; 5. When gasoline reaches the hose opening, cover the opening and slowly release it into a container; 6. Once gasoline continuously flows from the tank into the container, the extraction is complete. Notes: The hose used for extraction should be of moderate length and diameter, preferably transparent for clear observation of fuel flow, mainly to avoid sucking too much gasoline into the mouth; when using mouth suction, slightly pinch the hose near the mouth to prevent gasoline from being sucked in.
