Steps to set the time and date on a dash cam: Generally, dash cams have a menu button. Click on the menu, settings, and then time in sequence to enter the time setting interface where you can make adjustments. After completing the adjustments, press the return button to go back to the main page. A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire process of driving, including video images and sounds, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents. For those who enjoy self-driving tours, it can also be used to document the process of overcoming difficult and dangerous situations. While driving, it continuously records videos, simultaneously capturing the time, speed, and location in the recordings.
When I first bought my new car, I spent quite some time figuring out the dash cam. Setting the date and time is actually pretty simple. First, power on the dash cam and find the gear-like icon to enter the settings. Navigate to the system settings menu, where you'll see the date and time option. Select it and use the left and right buttons to adjust the numbers in the order of year, month, day, hour, and minute. I recommend syncing it with Beijing time on your phone to avoid confusion when reviewing footage. If the dash cam frequently resets the time, it's likely that the built-in coin cell battery is dead and needs replacement. By the way, some high-end models allow settings via a mobile app, but older models rely on physical buttons. Always remember to save the settings after adjustment, or all your effort will be in vain. Also, plastic buttons can become unresponsive during heavy rain, so it's best to do this on a dry day.
