Step 4: Make sure the record light is on

Most dashcams record automatically when they are plugged in. Depending on your dashcam model, the record light may be red, blue, or another color, and it may stay solid or blink if recording. Check your owner's manual to be sure you are recording.

You're now protected by dashcam!

Please do not attempt to do anything with your dashcam while you are driving! We cannot stress this enough, any adjustments to the settings, playing back a video, etc. can wait until you are safely pulled off the road. Please, for your safety and for the safety of others around you, pull over before doing anything with your dashcam.

As always, drive safe!
