How to Use the Audi A4 Dash Cam?
2 Answers
The Audi A4 dash cam automatically starts and begins recording when the vehicle is turned on. When the memory card is full, it can automatically delete the oldest recordings and start loop recording. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle operation. Below is additional information: 1. Functions of a dash cam: After installation, it can record the entire driving process, including video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also document the journey through challenging terrains. While driving, it continuously records video, along with time, speed, and location data, functioning like a black box. It can also be used at home as a DV camera to capture life's moments or serve as a home surveillance device. Additionally, it can function as a parking monitor. Note that recorded video footage should not be edited, as this may render it useless in determining liability during accidents. 2. Basic components of a dash cam: (1) Main unit: Includes a microprocessor, data storage, real-time clock, display, lens module, operation keys, printer, and data communication interface. If the main unit does not include a display or printer, it should have corresponding data display and print output interfaces. (2) Speed sensor. (3) Data analysis software. (4) Infrared camera, an essential component for night vision functionality.
After starting the vehicle, the dash cam will usually power on and begin recording automatically. Locate the power button (marked with a red dot) near the top or rearview mirror, then press and hold it for 3 seconds to manually turn it on. For first-time use, download the dedicated app on your phone, connect to the dash cam's WiFi, and set the resolution and loop recording duration in the app. Note that some vehicle models have cigarette lighter sockets with delayed power-off, so it's recommended to connect to the ACC line via the fuse box to avoid battery drain. The parking monitor function requires separate sensitivity settings; it's advisable to lower the sensitivity in urban areas to prevent false triggers. In case of emergencies, press the SOS button on the device to lock the current video and prevent overwriting. Choose a U3-rated memory card, and format it monthly to avoid lag. On rainy days, remember to wipe the lens to remove moisture for better nighttime recording quality.
