How to Set Up a Rearview Mirror Dash Cam?
2 Answers
Setup steps for a rearview mirror dash cam: 1. After installing the dash cam, turn on the power switch on the left side. 2. Enter the settings via the OK button to configure video quality, resolution, and photo capture functions. 3. Default settings are usually sufficient, but you can adjust the recording mode to loop recording. Detailed instructions: 1. Most dash cams automatically start recording once powered on. 2. In loop recording mode, when the memory card reaches capacity, new recordings will overwrite the oldest files. For important footage, it's recommended to save it to another storage device to prevent overwriting. 3. The dash cam is a crucial device for recording audio and video during driving, and its recordings can often serve as evidence. 4. During traffic accidents, police often use dash cam footage to assist in determining liability. Note that edited footage is considered invalid.
I just installed a rearview mirror dash cam, and the setup process was quite straightforward. First, purchase the device, clean the windshield, and firmly attach the dash cam to a stable position to prevent shaking. Connect the power to the cigarette lighter, power it on, and enter the menu interface to configure basic settings—for example, I chose 1080p resolution to balance video quality and storage space. Avoid setting it too high to prevent the memory card from filling up too quickly. Enable loop recording to automatically overwrite old footage, ensuring continuous recording. Adjust the collision sensitivity to medium to prevent minor bumps from triggering false alerts and wasting storage space. Set the correct time and date to ensure accurate timestamps on recordings. Test the camera angle to cover the front view and make fine adjustments if necessary to avoid blind spots. I make it a habit to check the settings monthly to ensure no accidental resets, especially ensuring the dash cam doesn’t stop recording when the memory card is full—this is crucial for maintaining driving evidence and safety. With simple daily maintenance, it can work efficiently.
