Before you hit the road, it’s important to make sure your dashcam is configured properly.
This guide walks you through key settings available on your device, from video recording options to LED indicators and voice alerts.
In this guide, we’ll cover two main areas:
1. Recording Settings: Adjust how your dashcam captures and stores video and audio.
2. Device Controls(System): Control how your dashcam behaves and interacts with you.
Each setting is explained with examples so you can configure your dashcam for your driving needs.
Ready? Let’s dive into each category.
Recording Settings
To change the recording settings for a specific camera, follow this path:

- Resolution: The resolution and frame rate are fixed by model. This determines the base clarity of your recordings.
- Video Quality: Affects how detailed your footage looks. Higher quality improves clarity but increases file size and storage usage.
- Audio Recording: Adds sound to your video recordings. When enabled, ambient noise or conversations inside the vehicle will be recorded.
- GPS Location Recording: Adds location data to your recordings. This enables map tracking, route history, and location-based features like drive reports and geofencing.
- Camera Rotation: Adjusts the image orientation of the front or rear camera to correct upside-down or mirrored installations.
- Video Overlay: Displays custom text (e.g., vehicle name or ID) on your recordings. Useful for identifying vehicles in multi-car setups.
Device Controls(System)
To change the recording settings for a specific camera, follow this path:
More (⋯) > Camera Settings > System
- Time Zone: Ensures timestamps in your recordings match your local time. GPS-based syncing keeps time accurate across time zones.
- LED: Control which LED lights are active on the dashcam. You can turn off lights for recording, parking mode, LTE, Wi-Fi, and interior monitoring to reduce visibility or save power.
- Touch Sensor: Allows manual recording by tapping the dashcam. Disabling this can prevent accidental triggers.
- Voice Guidance & Volume: Adjusts how the dashcam communicates through audio. You can turn voice prompts on or off and control their volume.
- Scheduled Reboot: Automatically restarts the dashcam daily (typically during parking mode) to help maintain long-term system stability.
- Firmware Language: Sets the language for the system interface and voice prompts. Useful for localization and multi-language environments.
