The functions of a dash cam: 1. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process including video images and sound, providing evidence for traffic accidents; 2. For those who enjoy self-driving tours, it can also be used to record the journey; 3. While driving, it continuously records videos, simultaneously capturing time, speed, and location in the footage, functioning much like a "black box"; 4. It can be used at home as a DV to capture life's joys or serve as a home surveillance device; 5. It can be used for parking surveillance. Once installed, the video footage must not be edited, as altered footage cannot provide assistance in the event of a liability accident.

I think dash cams are really useful, mainly because they record the entire driving process. In case of a traffic accident, like a rear-end collision or minor scrape, the recorded video can serve as solid evidence to help you handle insurance claims and avoid disputes over responsibility. Once, I hit another car in traffic, and the other party denied it, but reviewing the footage quickly revealed the truth and resolved the issue in minutes. It also helps prevent fraud—some bad actors deliberately back into you to stage accidents, but they back off once they see the recording. On long trips, it’s a great tool for capturing mountain or ocean views, which you can later edit and share on social media. The parking surveillance feature is practical too, recording theft attempts while the car is parked. I recommend getting one with night vision and high-definition resolution, ensuring smooth loop recording without lag. Overall, it makes driving more reassuring and reduces hassle over disputes.

I think dash cams are super useful! Mounted on the front windshield, they record driving footage 24/7. In case of accidents—like when I accidentally scraped someone's car last week—the video provides clear evidence, making claims quick and hassle-free. They're also great against thieves and insurance scammers; a friend almost got framed until the footage proved their innocence. On road trips, it automatically captures scenery—my Yunnan vacation footage became perfect vlog material. In parking mode with motion detection, it alerts and records if someone approaches. Many models now have app connectivity for easy video viewing on phones. For new drivers like me, it's like a safety charm that eases driving anxiety. Totally worth installing—boosts security with style while helping review driving habits.

I think dash cams mainly record the driving process of the vehicle, providing evidence in case of accidents to avoid disputes. They can also prevent fraud and theft, with parking surveillance capturing abnormal behavior. During long trips, they automatically record scenic views. High-definition video and night vision are key features, while loop recording saves storage space. GPS functionality marks locations, and ADAS assists with lane departure warnings. It simplifies issue resolution, saving both money and time.

How to Manually Deactivate the MG 3 Anti-Theft System?

First, locate the wiring distribution of the anti-theft system, which is generally found beneath the steering wheel or inside the protective panel under the A-pillar.

What to Do When the Motorcycle Engine Makes a Ticking Sound?

If there is abnormal noise at the moment of starting, and the noise disappears when the engine is idling after starting, then the fault point is likely the carbon brushes inside the starter motor. If there is abnormal noise when the engine is idling after starting, the fault point is likely due to excessive clearance between the hydraulic tappets and valves inside the engine cylinder head.

How to Calculate the Fuel Consumption per 100 Kilometers for a Motorcycle?

The owner should first record the odometer reading L1 when the fuel level is high and the engine cuts off due to low fuel. Then, note down the amount of fuel YL added during refueling. When the fuel is again used up to the high fuel level cutoff point, record the current odometer reading L2. Subtract L1 from L2 to get the distance traveled, then divide this by Y to obtain the number of kilometers the motorcycle can travel per liter of fuel in actual driving conditions.

What to Do When a Motorcycle Won't Start After Running Out of Fuel?

If it's an electric start, check if the battery has power. You can try jump-starting with a new battery's connection cables. If it starts, it means the battery was low on charge. For motorcycles, gasoline serves as the combustion energy source. The checking method is to switch the fuel valve to the reserve tank, or you can disconnect the fuel line and shake the bike.

What is the correct sequence for starting the ignition?

Turn the ignition key clockwise to the START position. Apply slight forward pressure to rotate it. Release immediately when the engine starts, as the ignition switch will automatically return from the start position to the normal ignition position. After the engine starts, observe the instrument panel indicators and check for any abnormal engine noises, water leaks, or oil leaks. If the engine fails to start after three attempts, identify and resolve the issue before attempting to start again.
