What to Do When the Dash Cam Won't Stick?
2 Answers
If the dash cam won't stick, you can choose to purchase a bracket-mounted or rearview mirror-mounted dash cam. Here is an introduction to the functions of a dash cam: 1. Protecting the driver's legal rights: For many pedestrians crossing the road recklessly or cyclists and motorcyclists weaving through traffic, if a collision occurs, there is a high chance of being extorted. With a dash cam, the driver can provide valid evidence for themselves. 2. Playback of recorded footage: Reviewing the accident responsibility becomes clear at a glance, allowing traffic police to handle accidents quickly and accurately. This enables rapid clearance of the scene to restore traffic flow while preserving valid evidence of the incident, creating a safe and smooth traffic environment. 3. Recording travel experiences: For friends who enjoy self-driving tours, it can also be used to document the process of conquering difficult and dangerous roads.
Last time I encountered an issue where my dash cam wouldn't stay attached, I took immediate action to resolve it. First, I thoroughly cleaned the windshield and adhesive area using a cotton cloth dipped in alcohol to remove all dust and grease. After letting it dry completely, I applied new double-sided tape, opting for the heavy-duty automotive-grade adhesive tape that provides stronger hold. If the adhesive was too severely aged, I simply replaced it with a suction cup mount - these are quite affordable online now and very easy to install. I've also learned that dash cam positioning is crucial; it shouldn't obstruct the driver's view or be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause the adhesive to fail. Parking in shaded areas regularly helps extend its lifespan. The key is not to procrastinate - I've seen a friend miss crucial evidence because their shaky camera couldn't record road conditions properly while driving. I recommend periodically checking the adhesive strength to ensure it remains securely fixed, allowing for worry-free driving with reliable recording.
