How to Troubleshoot a Dash Cam | Halfords UK

Shop dash cams: https://www.halfords.com/technology/d... Dash cams are a useful bit of kit as long as they are working. Here we look at what to do if your dash cam isn't working properly and how to troubleshoot any issues if they arise. [Halfords. We Fit. We Service. We Repair.] Dash cams are great bits of kit.. but they are new to a lot of people. If you happen to have a problem… these are some of the most common issues and solutions.  Using an incorrect SD Card is the most common problem people have. If the SD card isn’t right.. the camera won’t record or store video properly. Some dash cams come with a compatible SD Card. But if the product you buy doesn’t, we recommend the following. For dash cams with a resolution of 1080p and lower.. a 32GB Class 10 U3 card is sufficient. When a rear camera is added.. or the resolution is 1440p and over.. it’s best that a 64GB Class 10 U3 card is used. Another misconception is that dash cams have an inbuilt battery like your mobile phone. Some have a small cell battery which allows a limited parking mode capability… but dash cams always need to be plugged into your car. Some products also need to be charged indoors for a couple of hours.. to give them enough power for their parking mode function to work.  People often have issues connecting their dashcam to their device over WiFi. The thing to be aware of is that this works in a similar way to how you would pair Bluetooth devices. If your tablet or smartphone device doesn’t pick up the signal from your dash cam.. a good tip is to turn off mobile data on your device .. this removes any network interference that may occur with your dash cam.  Most dash cam brands have an app that can be used to download footage and connect to the dash cam …it’s important to make sure this is the latest version of the app and that it is also the correct app for the brand of dash cam you have. The camera’s suction mount can also be an issue. Many dash cam brands provide a suction cup mount as standard.. but there are adhesive mounts available should you find that it isn’t sticking as well. Also, be aware that changing temperatures can impact how well it stays put. We don’t recommend mounting your camera on the black spotty part of the windscreen near the rear view mirror…as the textured surface will not allow the suction cup to create a strong seal.
