How to install and use a Dashcam effectively
Installing and using a Dashcam may seem complicated, but with the right guidance it is a simple process that can improve your safety along the way. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you install and use your Dashcam in the best way.
Step 1: Choose the correct placement
- The windshield: The most common place for a Dashcam is behind the rearview mirror, where it has a clear view over the road without blocking your visibility.
- The dashboard: Alternatively, you can mount the dashcam on the dashboard, but make sure it does not interfere with your visibility.
Step 2: Mounting
- Attachment: Use the supplied suction cup or sticker to attach the dashcam to the desired location. Make sure the surface is clean and dry before mounting.
- Adjustment: Adjust the angle so that the camera has a clear and wide view over the road.
Step 3: Connect Power
- Cigarette outlet: Most Dashcams are connected via the car's cigarette outlet. Pull the cable along the edge of the windshield and hide it under the car's interior panels for a nice installation.
- Hard -drawn: For a more permanent solution, you can harden the Dashcam to the car's electrical system. This may require professional help.
Step 4: Set Dashcam
- Date and time: Set the correct date and time to ensure the recordings are correct.
- Storage settings: Select the Loop Recording Option so that older files are automatically overwritten when the memory is full.
- Movement detection: Activate Movement Detection If your Dashcam supports this, to record events when the car is parked.
Step 5: Use
- Check regularly: Make sure the Dashcam is set correctly and works properly before each trip.
- Review recordings: Download and review recordings regularly to ensure that everything works properly and to release storage space when needed.
