How to Set the Time on a Dash Cam?

Dash cam time setting method: Different brands and models of dash cams have different setting methods. Usually, you just need to click the menu on the dash cam, find the settings option, select the date and time settings, and adjust the time to the current accurate time. 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 driving process of the car, including video images and sounds, which can provide evidence for traffic accidents. It can also serve as a parking monitor in daily use. After installing a dash cam, the video data should not be edited. If edited, it may not be able to provide assistance in the event of a liability accident.
I just helped a friend adjust the time on their dashcam a few days ago, and found that the basic operations are quite similar. First, locate the menu button on the side of the dashcam, press and hold it for 3 seconds to enter the system settings. At this point, the time and date options will appear on the screen, and you can use the directional keys to adjust to the correct numbers. Be aware that some models differentiate between 12-hour and 24-hour formats—selecting the wrong one will cause the time to jump around. Remember to save and exit after adjusting, otherwise, it will revert to the default settings when powered off. I recommend choosing a model with GPS automatic time synchronization; just drive around the block to sync with satellite time, which is especially convenient. If you really can't figure it out, check the manual, as the setup paths can vary significantly between brands.
