Step-by-Step Sharing Guide

  1. Connect to your Dash Cam via Cam Viewer app, then download the desired video to your phone.

  2. Go to View Downloaded Videos, long-press the clip you want to share.

  3. Tap the Share icon (three connected dots) in the top right.

  4. Choose "Cam Viewer Private Share" to generate a secure sharing link.

Upload and Link Settings

  • Enter your email address for upload confirmation

  • Enable password protection for added security

  • Hit Start Upload—wait for completion

  • You will receive an e-mail with a shareable URL

Sharing the Link

Paste the link via email, text, WhatsApp, or other apps. Include the password if set.

Alternative: Use direct sharing to compatible messaging apps to send the file immediately.

Important: Links expire after 30 days—recipients must download within this period.

Extra Tips

  • Password-protect sensitive footage (insurance/police).

  • Check upload progress bar; don't close the app midway.

  • Cam Viewer Private Share will keep the original resolution of the footage, directly sharing through messaging apps can potentially provide a lower quality.

Troubleshooting

  • If your upload is stuck, ensure that the camera is powered and you are within the range of the Wi-Fi hotspot.

  • If the link has not been received, check the spam folder and verify email during setup.

  • If the receipient cannot access the footage, confirm password and resend before 30-day expiry.
