I have an aftermarket dash installed in my car, and checking the footage is quite simple. The most common method is using a mobile app: First, download the brand-specific app from the app store.

I usually check dashcam footage in three ways. The first choice is mobile apps like those from brands such as DDPai - their interfaces are intuitive. After connecting to the dashcam's WiFi, I can view footage in real-time, download clips, and adjust image quality settings.

I usually manage my dash through a mobile app. The steps are simple: download the brand's official app like 70mai or 360's software, start the vehicle to activate the dash cam, find the dash cam's hotspot in the phone's WiFi list (the name is usually the device model), and open the app to view live footage or recorded videos. To save a video, just click to download it to the phone's gallery. Occasionally, I also take out the TF card and use a card reader to view files on the computer, which allows batch organizing or deleting old files. A tip for everyone: when using the app to view footage, the phone can't access the internet, so it's recommended to turn off mobile data before connecting to the dash cam to avoid missing calls.

Checking the dashcam footage is quite flexible.
