To playback videos on a BYD dash cam, first press the MODE button to select the desired mode, then click on the recorded video file to play it. Nowadays, most dash cams come with corresponding mobile apps that allow users to view video playback on their phones, making the operation more convenient. Simply download the corresponding app on your phone, connect to the dash cam's WiFi, and you can view video playback in real-time without consuming mobile data. Functions of a dash cam: 1. Protect the driver's legal rights: In cases where pedestrians crossing the road or cyclists and motorcyclists are involved in a scrape, there might be attempts at extortion. A dash cam can provide the driver with valid evidence. 2. Retain evidence: Playing back the recorded footage makes the responsibility in an accident clear, allowing traffic police to handle the accident quickly and accurately. This enables quick clearance of the scene to restore traffic flow while retaining valid evidence of the incident, contributing to a safe and smooth traffic environment. 3. Reduce accident rates: If every vehicle is equipped with a dash cam, drivers would be less likely to violate traffic rules recklessly, significantly reducing the accident rate. Vehicles involved in accidents can be recorded by other vehicles' dash cams, greatly decreasing hit-and-run cases. 4. Provide evidence: In court trials of road traffic accident cases, sentencing and compensation can be more accurate and evidence-based. It also provides evidence for insurance company claims.

When I drove a BYD car before, I often operated playback directly on the dashboard touchscreen: after starting the car, find the dashcam icon in the main menu, click to open it, and select the video file to play. It's recommended to set up timestamps first for easy searching of specific events. If you want to download videos to your phone, use the official BYD App to connect to the car's Bluetooth, log in to your account, and browse the media library to save them. Regularly clean the memory card to avoid filling up space and affecting recording—I once experienced lag that caused important footage to be lost. For beginners, it's advisable to practice and familiarize yourself with the interface in a parking lot first. Additionally, some BYD models support voice commands for playback, so try saying "view recording".

I found BYD's dashcam playback operations to be flexible and diverse, with priority given to the mobile app: download DiLink or the relevant software, pair it with the vehicle, then enter the video menu to select playback. Alternatively, you can press the central control screen button while in the car to directly view live footage and historical files. The storage card can also be removed and inserted into a computer to open with playback software. A reminder to check the quality of the TF card—avoid no-name brands to prevent damage. High-definition videos are large, so a 128GB card is sufficient. Regularly update the app and system to prevent bugs. Once, during a minor scrape while driving at night, playback helped me quickly prove the details, providing both peace of mind and efficiency.

When I first got my BYD car, I was curious about how to view the playback. It's quite simple: after starting the engine, tap the dashcam option on the central control screen, then select and play the files. You can also download the BYD App on your phone, register, and connect to the car to view. It's recommended for beginners to regularly delete old videos to prevent the memory card from getting full. The whole operation takes just a minute or two, clearly recording your daily drives.
