Here is an updated version of Dash Cam Menu Settings which includes short descriptions of what a particular setting is for and what options are available for each category. Not all of these settings are available on every dash cam, and some dash cams may have a setting that is not listed here. It comes with standard ones such as recording audio and taking still photos, in case you leave your phone at home. But you'll be sacrificing other useful perks like parking mode, which activates recording if your car is bumped when parked. Lane Departure Warning System alerts the driver if they are straying out of their lane, perhaps feeling sleepy or not concentrating.

For a more professional installation, you can opt to hardwire your dashcam directly to your car's fuse box. This provides a cleaner look without visible wires and can allow for features like parking mode. However, this requires some electrical knowledge and may be best left to professionals if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. You have probably noticed that whenever you press a button on the dash cam a beep sound is made. If you would rather not hear these beeps you can choose to turn them off. If you select OFF, all of the notification sounds may be disabled. There are some dash cams that allow you to install upside down and yet produce a video that is the right way up. This setting will facilitate that. You have the option to rotate the video 180 degrees if the camera is upside down. This is very useful if you have 'parking mode' as it will record and save a video clip anytime that there is movement in front of your vehicle when it is parked up. This way, you have a chance of catching a vandal or a thief who was up to no good while your car was parked. Lets you display the data from the GPS on your video, e.g. Speed, Coordinates, Direction, etc. You can turn this off.Halfords has no plans to improve its encryption, because it doesn't deem the data sensitive enough to warrant it.
