HOW TO USE AN OLD PHONE AS A DASH CAM

How to use an old phone as a dash cam?

Prepare necessary props: mobile phone holder, car charger (or power bank), driving recorder App

Although smartphones already have a video recording function, if we want to completely replace the driving recorder, we still need to prepare the following props.

1. Mobile phone car mount
With this mount, the phone can have the most perfect shooting angle. This kind of mount can be bought in various supermarkets, mobile phone stores, and auto supply stores, but you must remember to bring your mobile phone with a suitable mobile phone holder.

2. Car charger (or power bank)
The mobile phone is recording video all the way, and the speed of power consumption is very alarming. Therefore, in order to prevent the mobile phone from ruing out of power after getting out of the car, you can use a car charger or power bank. The car charger can charge your smartphone via USB just by plugging it into the car’s cigarette lighter.

3. Driving Recorder App
The functions of the yuwei dash cam app are similar, and you can use all the different apps by mastering the key functions!

In addition to video recording, the key functions of the driving recorder mainly lie in the three functions of “circular photography”, “automatic saving in emergencies”, and “map recording”. Whether it is an iPhone or an Android system, the functions of the driving recorder App are basically the same, only the interface and additional functions are different. Here I want to teach you a few key functions of the driving recorder. As long as you master some functions, no matter what app you choose, you can definitely get started quickly!

1) Don’t be stingy with video quality, choose the highest quality.
The most important thing for a driving recorder is to be able to record what happened, as well as the other party’s license plate number, body characteristics and other information. Therefore, the highest quality is selected in the video quality setting to ensure that all information can be seen clearly when the video is needed. Otherwise, If there is an accident but the license plate number of the other party caot be clearly seen, it is useless to install a driving recorder.

2.) Automatic recording of unexpected accidents, avoiding loop recording being overwritten by subsequent videos!
Since smartphones have accelerometers, it’s common for dash cam apps to have this feature. “Automatic accident recording” is to automatically save the video during this period of time after the mobile phone detects high acceleration or severe shaking (such as when it hits another car), so as to avoid being overwhelmed by subsequent videos (loop photography) If it is covered, some software will also have the function of automatically taking pictures. Remember to tu on this function when using the driving recorder app.
