The Wi-Fi in a on-board camera can be very useful and sometimes even crucial in everyday use. Traditionally, only the most powerful cameras offered these features, but there are now entry-level cameras incorporating this feature.

In practical terms, how does Wi-Fi work for your dashcam?

The Wi-Fi feature One dashcam allows you to download and share video and photo files directly on your phone or tablet. Then, sharing these items is feasible to other people of your choice: your family, the policy or even your insurance agent. Some dashcams even allow you to share your videos and images on the internet and social networks.

Wi-Fi can be very useful when you need to send a video recording to your insurer after an accident. Instead of waiting for access to a PC or Mac, you can send the corresponding short film directly using your mobile device. On some devices, the video can also be edited before being sent. You can easily, from your dashcam, edit the video, delete the sound or compress the file.

To use Wi-Fi, you don't need to remove the dashcam from your vehicle. It is no longer necessary to use a PC to view the footageBecause you can store them directly on your phone. There is also no need to remove the SD card or use the cables provided, saving you time and effort.

Depending on the model, Wi-Fi connection is set up directly to synchronize your dashcam and your smartphone or tablet. So you don't need to use mobile data or any other Wi-Fi hotspot, as it can be easily activated automatically or manually via the configuration menu.
