QA
-
Why are the videos missing in the album?
- The video may have been overwritten by a new one.
- -All videos and photos recorded by the device are stored using a loop overwrite method. Once the storage limit is reached, the dash cam will automatically delete the earliest recorded videos.
- To ensure important videos are not erased, please backup them to other devices such as your phone or computer in a timely manner.
-
Why are emergency videos quickly overwritten in a loop?
- If your driving style is aggressive, frequently accelerating or decelerating sharply, or driving on poorly maintained roads, and you have set a high collision sensitivity, it is easy to generate emergency videos. Once the emergency video storage limit is reached, newly generated emergency videos will overwrite previous ones.
If you fit the above criteria, it is recommended to choose a low sensitivity setting.
- If your driving style is aggressive, frequently accelerating or decelerating sharply, or driving on poorly maintained roads, and you have set a high collision sensitivity, it is easy to generate emergency videos. Once the emergency video storage limit is reached, newly generated emergency videos will overwrite previous ones.
-
Does viewing videos and photos in the album on the dash cam consume mobile data?
- No, it won it.
- The dash cam itself acts as a LAN Wi-Fi, and when connected to a phone, it uses the dash cam’s network, so it won’t consume mobile data.
