Android settings for a dashcam

Android phones can manage demanding apps differently, so check battery and background settings before relying on Dashoo.

Check permissions

Allow the camera and any location or microphone permissions required for the features you use. Review the permissions in Android settings if recording does not start.

Allow Dashoo to run

On many Android phones, set Dashoo to unrestricted or exempt it from battery optimisation. Menu names differ between manufacturers, so search the device settings for battery optimisation or background activity.

Test storage and power

Check free storage, connect a reliable charger and run a complete short test. Stop if the phone becomes unusually hot.

Start and protect journeys

Open Dashoo, start recording before driving, then protect or lock important footage when parked safely. Read the full Android setup guide.

Test your exact Android phone

Manufacturer settings vary, so a short test is part of the setup.
