So, my car now feels like it’s auditioning for a spy movie. I’ve installed one of those “smart” dash cams that promises to do everything short of make me coffee. But instead of turning my ride into the next episode of CSI, it’s more like a moody teenager that never listens. How do I tame this beast?
For starters, can anyone share the magic incantation (or app settings?) to get the dash cam to actually record the stuff I want instead of randomly catching birds or the neighbor’s cat? Also, what’s the deal with its supposed “smart” features—face recognition for when I’m behind the wheel or a sassy new dashboard upgrade that tells me when I’m speeding? I’d appreciate any tips before it starts sending me passive-aggressive notifications about my lousy parking skills.
I mean, if my car is going to become sentient, at least let it be useful. Any advice on turning this smart dash cam into a wise, well-behaved co-pilot without it judging my every driving mistake?
