Remove the memory card from the dash cam and search through the folders one by one. Connect the dash cam to a computer using a USB cable. Select and open the storage device to access its contents. To playback on the dash cam, first pause the recording, then press the MODE button to navigate to the recorded videos, and click OK to play. Select the playback option in the dash cam's menu to view the recorded footage.

When I first drove a Geely car, I was also curious about how to check the dashcam. Actually, the factory-installed dashcam is very convenient. Here's how I usually do it: After starting the vehicle, directly find the dashcam app icon on the central control screen, and tap to enter to see the live view. You can search for recordings by date, and if you encounter an emergency, you can press the lock button to save the video. If you want to check it on your phone, you need to download the official Geely Auto App first and connect to the car's WiFi hotspot—the password is in the manual. Remember to format the memory card every six months, otherwise, when it's full, it will automatically overwrite old videos. If the image is blurry, check if the camera is blocked or the lens is dirty.

As an enthusiast who enjoys researching in-car devices, I've found that the method to view footage on Geely dashcams mainly depends on whether it's factory-installed. For factory-installed ones, simply locate the blue dashcam icon on the central control screen and tap to open it, which supports selecting video clips by time for playback. Aftermarket installations fall into three scenarios: dashcams with screens can switch to playback mode via physical buttons; screenless models require downloading the manufacturer's dedicated app on your phone for connection; alternatively, you can remove the memory card to view on a computer. It's crucial to note that viewing while driving is extremely dangerous—even a few seconds of taking your eyes off the road at high speeds can lead to accidents. My personal practice is to connect to the car's WiFi at service areas to export videos, which is significantly safer than operating while driving.

When using a Geely dash cam, it's essential to develop the habit of checking recordings after parking. Open the central control screen, select the dash cam option from the main menu, and the videos will be automatically categorized into normal driving and emergency events. Last week, when I was rear-ended, I found evidence proving the other party was fully at fault by reviewing the emergency footage after parking. If your vehicle doesn't come with a built-in dash cam or you've installed one yourself, the safest method is to remove the memory card: it's usually located in the decorative cover at the top of the windshield, in a TF card slot about the size of a fingernail. Insert it into a computer card reader to play the footage—note that the common format is H.264 encoding, which can be recognized by Windows' built-in media player.
