Where is the playback button on the dash cam?

The playback button on the dash cam is located on the far right edge of the device. Press the playback button to enter the video list, allowing you to directly view recorded video playback on the dash cam. During playback, you can use the corresponding touch controls on the screen to perform operations such as returning, deleting, adjusting playback speed, and pausing. A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can record the entire driving process, including video and audio, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents. The dash cam continuously records while driving, capturing time, speed, and location in the footage.
I remember when I wanted to review the footage from my dash cam while driving before, it took me quite a while to realize that the location of the playback button isn’t standardized. My dash cam has the button designed in the lower right corner of the screen—a small play icon button—and a light press brings up the historical footage. Some brands hide the button on the side or bottom, like Xiaomi or Papago models, which might require reaching behind the device to find it. Newer models with touchscreens are more convenient, allowing you to simply swipe through the on-screen menu to find the playback option. What I encounter most often is friends complaining about not being able to locate the button. In such cases, I suggest checking the user manual first, as it usually includes a clear diagram of the button’s location. Alternatively, connecting to the companion app on your phone—like with the 360 dash cam—allows real-time playback via the app, saving you the hassle of searching around in the car. If none of these work, it might be a device settings issue, so try restarting it or checking for software updates. In short, based on my experience, start with the screen menu and physical buttons on the device, and taking some time to familiarize yourself with the equipment can save a lot of trouble.
