How to Play Back Dash Cam Recordings?
2 Answers
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.
