How to Upgrade a Dash Cam?
2 Answers
Dash cam upgrade method: 1. Clear the memory card; 2. Save the software to the memory card without changing the name or storing it in a folder, directly save it to the card to ensure it is stored in the root directory; 3. Insert the card, make sure the power is connected, then turn on the device. The screen will not display anything, which is normal. At this time, the indicator lights will keep flashing, indicating that the upgrade is in progress. If the card is pulled out midway, reinsert it and restart the upgrade; 4. After the upgrade process is completed, the device will automatically shut down. At this point, remove the card and delete the software using a computer. Otherwise, the device will keep upgrading every time it is turned on. Additionally, it is particularly important to ensure that the power is connected during the upgrade. If the power runs out halfway through the upgrade, the device will be 'bricked,' meaning it becomes unusable and can only be sent back to the after-sales service for repair.
I recently upgraded my dash cam. As a middle-aged driver who frequently hits the road, the process wasn’t too complicated. First, I connected it to my computer using the included data cable, opened a browser to visit the manufacturer’s official website, and downloaded the latest firmware package. After downloading, I copied it to the SD card in the dash cam. Then, I restarted the device—it automatically detected and installed the update, taking about ten minutes in total. Post-upgrade, the video quality is sharper, and old issues like frame stuttering are gone. I’d advise everyone to back up their recordings before upgrading, just in case something goes wrong and you lose your footage. Regular dash cam updates are crucial—they fix bugs and add features, like the new night vision mode this time, making nighttime driving safer. Don’t forget to check the official website or app annually for new version releases to keep your device running smoothly for years.
