Where to Turn Off the Dash Cam?
2 Answers
The dash cam is displayed on the car's rearview mirror, and the switch is located on the mirror itself, marked with a camera icon. Simply tap it to turn it off. There is a red dot on the rearview mirror—if it's blinking, the dash cam is active; if it's off, the dash cam is turned off. Some dash cams do not have a switch and operate when powered on, stopping when power is cut off. Dash cams are mainly divided into two categories: portable dash cams and aftermarket in-dash DVD-integrated dash cams. Portable dash cams can be further categorized into rearview mirror dash cams and data dash cams, which are known for their discreet appearance, easy installation, detachability, and user-friendly operation. Aftermarket in-dash DVD-integrated dash cams are typically vehicle-specific and come in two types: pre-installed and aftermarket. These dash cams are more challenging to install but maintain the car's interior aesthetics once set up.
I see you're asking how to turn off a dash cam. I have quite some experience with this. Generally speaking, these devices installed in cars have different operation methods depending on the brand. There are three most common ways: First, check if there's a physical button, usually located on the front or side of the device - pressing it should power it off. For smart models, connect to the mobile app and toggle the power status in the control panel. Another method is through the built-in menu - access the settings via touchscreen or buttons to find the power management option to shut it down. I should remind you not to forcibly unplug the power cable unnecessarily, as that may cause settings loss or damage the memory card. Most dash cams are designed to stay on for driving safety, but proper shutdown is important when parked in private garages or when privacy is needed. If you can't locate the button, check the user manual or the brand's official website guide.
