If necessary, unplug it and plug it back in.

⇪ Back to top ⇪

I inserted a USB drive, but the application tells me that my USB drive is not formatted correctly.

USB drive format NTFS not supported.

Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT, FAT32, or exFAT. Do this on a PC.

⇪ Back to top ⇪

The application tells me ''Insufficient space on USB drive''

There is no more space to store new videos.

Use the video tab to delete videos and free up space, or do the same using a PC.

Alternative: Insert another USB drive with a larger capacity.

⇪ Back to top ⇪

Can the app cause premature wear on my flash drive?

The DashCam app only writes videos if you trigger it through the notification center.

This action is performed occasionally during normal use, and therefore corresponds to normal use of your USB flash drive. Consequently, the DashCam app cannot ultimately cause your flash drive to malfunction.

⇪ Back to top ⇪

A camera view doesn't appear in my last video

Incomplete camera selection or intermittent issue.

Check that you have selected the correct camera in the section "Settings > Exterior cameras selection". This may be due to an intermittent issue.

⇪ Back to top ⇪

I recorded a video and saw the message ''All recordings have been saved'' on the screen. How do I view my video?

Launch DashCam by tapping the app notification or through the vehicle's app list.

Once you've identified the video, tap it to open the built-in player.

⇪ Back to top ⇪

I can't ''open''/''play'' my video

Make sure you're tapping the video title and not the black space on the line.

⇪ Back to top ⇪

I saved a video just before turning off my engine, but I can't find it on the USB drive.

The application works if and only if the engine is running.

Keep the engine running before capturing a video, until you see the message: "All records have been saved!"

⇪ Back to top ⇪

The app displays a list: simply swipe up to view other videos detected by DashCam.

⇪ Back to top ⇪

I'm in the embedded player, I don't know how to return to the video list

Tap the arrow in the top left corner of the screen to return to the video list.

I don't know how to delete a video

To delete an entire recording, select it by checking the box at the end of the line to reveal a "delete" button at the bottom of the screen.

You can select multiple videos at once if you wish, then tap the delete button.

To delete a camera from a recording, tap the recording to access the embedded player. Use the "trash" button in the top right corner of the screen to delete the currently playing camera, or long-press the button of the camera you want to delete.
