How to Play Back Videos on the Envision Dash Cam?
3 Answers
You can directly view the playback on the dash cam by pressing the MODE button to select and then clicking on the recorded video file to play it. Most dash cams now come with corresponding mobile apps that support video playback on smartphones, making the operation more convenient. You can remove the TF card from the dash cam, insert it into a card reader, and then plug it into a computer to access and play the videos. You can also connect the dash cam to a computer using a data cable. The computer will automatically recognize the dash cam as a storage device, allowing you to click on the videos to view them.
I often encounter this issue while driving, but checking the playback on the Envision's dashcam is actually quite simple. After parking and shifting to P gear, just find the 'Dashcam' icon on the central control screen and tap it. It will list the videos by time—simply tap to play the segment you want to review. For details, swipe the screen to fast-forward or rewind, and sometimes you can even zoom in to clearly see license plates in critical footage. I recommend regularly copying video files to a USB drive for backup to prevent important recordings from being overwritten when the memory card fills up. If visibility is poor at night, you can increase the screen brightness, but avoid setting it too high to avoid affecting driving. I make it a habit to quickly check the dashcam's working status before every long trip to ensure it doesn’t fail in crucial moments.
I helped a friend with this before, and it's quite easy for beginners to handle. There are mainly two practical methods: first, after parking the car, operate through the central control screen to find the dashcam app and open the video list; second, install a universal dashcam app on your phone, connect to the car's WiFi, and view the footage directly. This way, you don't have to bend over in the car staring at the small screen—you can export the accident footage at home and send it to the insurance company. A key point to note is that the vehicle must be completely stationary for safe playback, as playback is automatically disabled while driving. If you notice shaky footage during playback, it might be due to a loose dashcam mount that needs to be re-secured, and it's also a good idea to check if the lens is dirty.
