Dashcam Gps

[Malene Mederios]

Hey @Sniper101, That must be frustrating! Let me help you, "If your camera keeps on asking you to manually input the date and time, you need to reset the camera and delete it to the App. (Please reinstall the YI Dash App)
Once you paired the camera to the YI Dash App, it will automatically sync the date and time on your phone.

@Sniper101 The CA40A that you purchased is not manufactured by YI Technology. We advise you to contact either the vendor you purchased it from or the manufacturer so that they can redirect you to the appropriate department or support for further assistance. We would love to have you as a customer.

-Turn on the Wi-Fi on the phone.
-Make sure that you have a dashcam application and the dashcam is paired to the app.
-Connect the Wi-Fi of your mobile device to the dashcam so that it will automatically sync the time and date.

Some users have had success with this, but keep in mind you need a stable power source and a WiFi connection. If the WiFi goes out, the cam can continue to record on the SD card, but if the cam starts up without WiFi, it will fail and not record.

Wyze Cam 3 is massively better image quality than any dash cam. It would be great to see a Dash-Cam version with software that lets the camera just save to the sd card while driving, then allow App access through WiFi when I get back home. That would be huge because most Dash cams are poor quality compared to the Wyze Cam 3.

I have the cameras plugged into cigarette lighter to quad USB adapter. The adapter is plugged into a power outlet that is always on. The cameras connect to my WiFi at home and are set to continuous recording to the uSD cards. The dashcam is attached to the windshield sort of behind the rear view mirror. The double sided tape and metal disk that comes with the camera attached the disk to the windshield and the camera is magnetically attached to the disk. This is in a 4x4 truck that does get used on crappy dirt roads and I have NEVER had the camera come off the metal plate.

In case you are concerned about the cameras running down the car battery. Happened once. When I had COVID and never left the house for an extended duration, the cameras stopped responding to an hourly ping test that my router does about 5 days or so after the last time the vehicle was driven.

This one of the important things, when I was testing one out as a dash cam I found that starting my car caused a momentary cut in power to the cigarette lighter long enough to reboot the cam. My truck has a secondary power point that stays powered the entire time.

A wide-angle 130, 170 or more front camera may be attached to the interior windscreen, to the rear-view mirror (clip on), or to the top of the dashboard, by suction cup or adhesive-tape mount. A rear camera is usually mounted in the rear window or in the registration plate, with a RCA video output to the display monitor/screen.

Some cabin cams include a screen that can be attached to the rear-view mirror employing usually rubber rings or straps or as a direct replacement of the rear view mirror itself. Others attach to the windshield, dash, or other suitable interior surfaces

To ensure a reliable 24/7 parking surveillance when capacity is an issue, a motion detector may be used to record only when an approaching human/vehicle is detected, in order to save power and storage media.[1]

GPS coordinate stamping capability is included in most dashcams (some need an external GPS antenna, but other dashcam systems have built-in GPS), and others include GPS (online and offline) navigation.

4G triple-cam (also called triple-lens and three-way-cams) sets on rearview mirror are becoming more available (2 front cameras - one 170 to mainly record road, one 360 for sides and doors and a rear camera).

Dashcam units usually operate via the vehicle electrical system, converting the 13.8V to a 5V USB connector. Dashcams can be plugged in via the cigarette lighter socket, or may be hardwired directly into the electrical system, freeing up the power outlet for other uses.

In order to store files and properly format the media card when power is turned off, dashcams use either a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery or a capacitor. While both provide power for a very short period of time, they have very different operating capabilities and limitations. LiPo batteries have an estimated life of 2-3 years or roughly 300-500 cycles. Over time, the material inside the battery will start to degrade resulting in out-gassing. This can be observed in a swollen or puffy looking battery case. When a LiPo battery reaches this point, the battery is no longer able to hold a charge. The result is a camera that may randomly turn on or off, or register format errors if it can't shut down correctly when power is turned off since it can only function when using the power from the vehicle. Capacitors can also store a temporary charge and will last much longer. They are also more resistant to higher operating temperatures, but are more expensive and require additional hardware or software support. Generally the LiPo batteries are found in less expensive dashcams and capacitors are used in more expensive dashcams.

Dashcams are widespread in Russia[2] as a guard against police corruption and insurance fraud, where they provide additional evidence.[3] They have been called "ubiquitous" and "an on-line obsession", and are so prevalent that dashcam recordings were the most common videos of the February 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor,[4] which was documented from at least a dozen angles. Videos showing automobile and aircraft crashes, close calls, and attempts at insurance fraud have been uploaded to social sharing websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Yandex, and other websites.[citation needed]

Dashcams have also captured numerous aviation accidents, such as National Airlines Flight 102 in 2013,[7] TransAsia Airways Flight 235 in 2015,[8] the Shoreham Airshow crash in 2015,[9] and the catastrophic engine failure of United Airlines Flight 328 in 2021.[10]

While dashcams are gaining in popularity as a way of protection against distortion of facts, they also attract negative attitudes for privacy concerns. This is also reflected in the laws of different countries in different and conflicting ways:

Police departments use dashcams in police vehicles to gather evidence during traffic stops and car chases.[23] Some dashcam systems can be automatically activated when a police car's emergency lights or siren are turned on.[24][25][26] Freedom of information laws mean that the footage can be released under some circumstances,[27] and this can be an important tool in reporting on police actions.[28] TV shows like World's Wildest Police Videos have frequently featured car chase videos shot from dashcams.

Some police officers accused of police brutality or misconduct tamper with their cameras to disable audio or video recording.[29] A report in 2016 showed that in Chicago, 80% of the police dashcams did not work properly. Among the causes were that officers destroyed antennas, hid microphones, and removed batteries or recording media.[30]

Dashcam Viewer is available on Mac and Windows and is compatible with over 140 different dashcam models. It is the player of choice by many dashcam manufacturers and vendors. Even if your dashcam is not listed below, it may still be compatible. Download the Free version and give it a try.

Geotags, or custom markers, can be dropped at locations on routes and be later selected to find clips efficiently. These markers will show up on the map or in a list view and double clicking the marker will instantly take you to that point in the route.

Your driving data is displayed in active 2D graphs. The charts display different metrics, such as speed and distance for the entire route. You can click in a graph to jump to that exact moment in the video sequence.

Dashcam Viewer allows for beautiful, once in a lifetime experiences to be captured and saved forever. GPS tracking allows you to find those moments to cherish and saves time through easy navigation. Data visualization also gives you the experience all over again through real time data metrics of your trip.

Routes can be mapped out so that Uber and Lyft drivers may determine the most efficient ones for different areas. Dashcam Viewer also allows for pinpointing locations on maps so that hotspots for pickups can be easily found. Video evidence gives drivers protection and security in unexpected situations so that they may feel more comfortable.
