How to use the Q3 dash cam?

When the screen is lit and in recording mode, press the "MENU" button to turn the audio recording on/off. When the screen is lit, press the "OK" button once to stop recording, and vice versa. Press the "MODE" button to switch between the three functions: photo, playback, and recording. Press the "OK" button to confirm the currently selected function.
As someone who drives a Q3 to work every day, I find the dash cam quite convenient to use. After starting the vehicle, the dash cam automatically powers on and begins recording, usually without requiring manual operation. It is typically mounted on the front windshield, with the camera auto-focusing to capture real-time footage ahead. During recording, videos are automatically saved to the built-in SD card. I often use my phone app to connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi hotspot for real-time viewing or downloading videos. For settings, there are buttons on the side of the dash cam to access the menu, where you can adjust resolution or enable parking surveillance mode—though be cautious with battery drain in parking mode, so it's best to choose a version with a built-in battery or low power consumption. For daily use, I make it a habit to check the SD card storage monthly to ensure there's enough space; otherwise, loop recording will overwrite old files. In case of a traffic accident, this device can be a lifesaver, as playback provides clear and straightforward evidence. For installation, it's best to have it professionally done to ensure a secure mount and avoid obstructing your view—DIY attempts might not be safe.
