How to Play Back Recorded Videos from a Dash Cam?
2 Answers
Common methods to view playback videos from a dash cam are as follows: 1. Remove the dash cam's memory card and insert it into a computer card reader to access and play back the video files on the computer. 2. Press the mode button on the dash cam, locate the video playback option, and click the OK button to view the playback videos. 3. Remove the dash cam and connect it to a computer using a USB cable; the computer will recognize the dash cam as a USB drive, allowing direct access to the video files. 4. For dash cams with WiFi functionality, download the corresponding mobile app to directly watch the videos on your phone.
I've tested quite a few dash cams in my car, and playing back the recordings is really simple. Generally, after parking, just find the menu button on the dash cam screen and enter the playback option. Some models require using the left and right buttons to navigate to the video list, where you can select the date and time period to play. Most new models now support Wi-Fi connection to mobile apps. For example, after downloading the brand's official app and binding the device, you can wirelessly view and download videos, which is much more convenient than removing the memory card. I've also found that when the memory card capacity is too small, it's prone to lag, so I recommend using a high-speed Class 10 or above card. It's not advisable to watch playback while driving; it's best to find a safe place to operate. In case of an accident, these video recordings can save a lot of trouble.
