How do I connect my Acumen Mirror Dash Cam to Wi-Fi?
Notice: Different from the home Wi-Fi network signal which allows you to surf the internet, the Wi-Fi feature in a dash cam only allows you to pair up your smartphone and your dash cam. It allows you to view, download and share your footages on your phone. However, you can not access your dash cam from far away, for example, you are at home or in the office, due to the limited range of the Wi-Fi signal.
What is Wi-Fi Direct
Wi-Fi Direct makes it easy to download and share your footage. It allows you to send footage from your Acumen Mirror Dash Cam directly to your phone without having to remove the SD card or using a laptop. Footage becomes easily accessible through your phone and footage can be shared easily on all major platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube and more. You are also encouraged to share your footage with Acumen through #CaughtOnAcumen Program and feature your video on all Acumen social media.
It is especially crucial in the case of a car accident. Through Wi-Fi connection, you may download the footage immediately and show it to the other driver or law enforcement personnels to avoid scams or disputes. You may also send the accident footage to your insurance provider so that they can fight better for you right.
Notice: Wi-Fi can only be used on iOS (12.0 or later) and Android (5.0 and up) devices. The AcumenCam App can be downloaded for free via Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
