Videos are stored on the external memory card. To view playback, you can remove the memory card and insert it into your phone, then use a player to locate and watch the recorded video files. Generally, a dash cam has six buttons: power button, menu button, mode switch button, up button, down button, and confirm button.

I've been driving a Nissan Qashqai for several years, with the dash cam installed at the top of the windshield, powered by the cigarette lighter socket. It automatically turns on and starts recording when the engine is started, and the red light confirms it's working. A 16GB memory card is sufficient, with old files being overwritten in a loop when full—I save space by not storing unnecessary footage. I frequently use the app connected to my phone to check live footage or download video clips, and adjust settings like resolution or mute audio for privacy. In case of emergencies, pressing the emergency button locks the current recording to prevent overwriting. I also regularly clean the lens to ensure clear footage. The whole process is super simple, with installation costing just a few hundred yuan, significantly enhancing driving safety.

As someone who loves tinkering with devices, I've set up the Nissan Qashqai's dash cam quite meticulously: in the menu options after startup, there's a resolution adjustment—I chose 1080p high definition for easy detail checking; enabled G-sensor sensitivity so files are automatically saved upon slight vibrations; set loop recording to 3-minute segments to optimize storage space. The parking monitoring feature is only activated when needed to avoid draining the battery. Connecting to the phone app via WiFi allows remote viewing or parameter adjustments, and firmware updates ensure stable functionality. I also tested the night vision mode, which performs well in low light, adding a safety bonus. Remember to back up important videos to the cloud to avoid losing critical data.

For me, a dash cam is an essential safety tool. When I start my Nissan Qashqai, it automatically begins recording road conditions, monitoring for potential accidents. In case of a scrape, I can immediately check the video evidence, making dispute resolution much faster. Operation is simple: ensure the power connection is secure and the indicator light is on; otherwise, check the wiring or memory card capacity. I recommend testing the functions before driving, such as a short trip to test video playback. Avoid enabling unnecessary features like continuous audio recording for a hassle-free and safe experience.
