RoadRec is a dash cam application. This product serves as a safety guard for your personal travel. The app application connects to the recorder through WiFi, allowing you to directly play general videos, emergency videos, and pictures on your phone. You can also download and save them to a file list for browsing, and make relevant settings for the recorder. 【 Warm Reminder 】 1.The function of obtaining the user's work trajectory during a specific time period will continue to use GPS positioning services, and switching to the background will still maintain GPS connection, which will consume more electricity compared to other operations. Continuous operation of GPS in the background can affect battery life. 2.
