How to Set the Time on a Dash Cam?
2 Answers
The method to set the time on a dash cam is as follows: 1. Select System Settings, press the bottom key, and enter the setup interface. 2. Enter the current time in the notepad and save it. 3. Remove the dash cam's battery and reinstall it. 4. The system will then jump directly to the initial time, which is the time set during the last shutdown. Here is more information about dash cams: 1. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can record the entire driving process, providing video and audio evidence for traffic accidents. 2. Most dash cams use the H.264 compression format.
I used to be constantly bothered by the inaccurate time on my dashcam, but later realized adjusting it is as simple as setting a phone's time. Just open the device settings, find the time and date option—models with GPS will auto-sync, while older versions require manual adjustment. Two key reminders: After replacing the battery, you must reset the time, otherwise it may revert to the factory date upon each startup; for long-term parking, use a power bank to maintain charge, as a depleted built-in battery will inevitably cause timing errors. A friend once thought their dashcam was broken and sent it for repair, only to find it was just unsaved time causing file chaos. Nowadays, newer models mostly feature automatic time calibration, eliminating these concerns entirely.
