How to View Recordings on a Dash Cam?
2 Answers
There are several methods to view recordings on a dash cam: 1. Directly on the dash cam itself. Most dash cams now come with built-in screens. Simply press the MODE key to select the mode and play the recorded video files directly. 2. Dash cams usually come with a storage card. You can remove the storage card and connect it to a computer via a card reader to play the recorded videos on the computer. 3. Most dash cams are equipped with a USB output port. You can use a connecting cable to link the dash cam directly to a computer. The computer will automatically recognize the dash cam as a storage device, similar to using a USB flash drive or hard drive on a computer. Locate the recorded files and click to play. 4. Some dash cams come with WIFI functionality, allowing them to connect to a smartphone via a wireless network. These dash cams usually connect to the phone through a dedicated app, enabling you to view the recorded videos directly on the app.
I was curious about this before too. My dash cam has a small screen, and after parking, I can just press the playback button to see the most recently recorded videos, using the left and right buttons to select the time period. Another method is to connect to a smartphone—download the manufacturer's app, connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi hotspot, and then find the video playback function in the app to transfer the recordings to the phone for viewing, which is super convenient. If you want to export them to watch on a computer, you need to first turn off the dash cam, remove the memory card, insert it into the computer, and look for the folder where the video files are categorized by date. Remember to clear the memory regularly, or new recordings won't be saved.
