Common questions
Questions before you buy
How do I save dash cam video after an accident?
Lock the event file if the camera permits, switch off recording when safe, and copy the relevant files to separate storage. Keep the original unedited and note when and where it was created.
Why will my dashcam video not play?
The file may use an unsupported codec, be incomplete after power loss or require the manufacturer's viewer. Try the official player first and work from a copy of the card.
Can I send dash cam footage to police in Australia?
Police submission processes differ by state and incident type. Contact the relevant police service or use its official online reporting channel, and retain the original footage.
Is it legal to upload dash cam accident videos?
Publication can raise privacy, identification, contempt and defamation issues depending on the clip and proceedings. Avoid commentary that identifies or accuses people, and seek legal advice where the footage is sensitive.
