Dashcam guide for new drivers

A phone dashcam can be a low-cost way to start recording journeys, provided the phone is mounted safely and used without distracting you.

Set it up before driving

Choose a stable mount, connect a charger and start recording before moving off. Never handle the phone while driving.

Know what to protect

Loop recording manages ordinary journeys. If something important happens, protect or lock the journey when it is safe, then review and export it later.

Practise first

Try a short drive and check the video, storage, GPS information and charging behaviour. Do not rely on any new setup until you know it works on your phone.
