Frequently Asked Questions About Dash Cams

Dash Cam FAQs

Does the dash cam record audio?

Yes, most dash cams come with built-in microphones and support audio recording. You can toggle audio recording on or off in the dash cam settings.

Why is my dash cam not turning on automatically?

Check the power connection and ensure your cigarette lighter socket or hardwire kit is properly connected. If the battery is drained or power supply is interrupted, the camera may not boot automatically.

How long can a dash cams record continuously?

Recording time depends on the resolution, bitrate, and size of the storage used. A 128GB microSD card typically holds about 10–12 hours of 4K video in loop mode before overwriting the oldest files.

What are G-sensor and Emergency Recording?

The G-sensor detects sudden movements or impacts and automatically locks the current recording, preventing it from being overwritten. This is crucial in the event of an accident.

Can I view recordings on a computer?

Yes, you can remove the microSD card or SSD, insert it into a computer using a card reader or USB-C cable, and view video files in standard formats like .MP4

How does loop recording work?

Loop recording ensures that once the storage is full, the dash cam will automatically overwrite the oldest footage, except for protected files like emergency events.

ما سبب إرتفاع حرارة الداش كام حارة جدا

لا يفترض أن ترتفع حرارة الكاميرا كما وصفت، ,وربما توجد مشكلة في توصيل الأسلاك.

1- في حال أن الكاميرا متصلة على علبة الفيوز تأكد من أن الأسلاك مشبوكة بالشكل الصحيح:

سلك ارضي يربط باي مسمار حديد مربوط بهيكل السيارة.
سلك يربط بفيوز يوفر طاقه عن تشغيل السياره.
سلك يربط بفيوز يوفر طاقه عند اطفاء السيارة.

2- تأكد من أن الأسلاك المددة خلف الديكورات لم تجرح أو تخدش.

لماذا تفضي بطارية السيارة بعد أن ركبت داشكام؟

غالبا المشلكة في التوصيلات. الداش كام فيها نظام لحمايه بطاريه السيارة وتفصل اذا انخفض فولت البطارية لحد معين حسب إعداداتك.

الكاميرا عند ربطها بالفيوز او مدخل OBD ستوف تراقب بطاريه السياره، وفي اعدادات الكاميرا، ممكن تحدد الفولت ١٢ او ١١ او ١٠ (تختلف من كاميرا لاخرى) وعند انخفاض فولت بطاريه السياره للحد الي انت حددته في الاعدادات تتوقف الكاميرا عن العمل حمايه لبطارية السياره.

غالبا الخطأ في توصيل الاسلاك على منافذ خطأ في علبه الفيوز، وسوف يؤدي ذلك بالكاميرا لا تسطيع أ، تخدد اذا كانت السياره شغاله او مطفيه. وعليه تعتقد الكاميرا ان السياره شغاله وتسحب البطاريه.
