@AutoFun thanks for the tip. Workedto changemy time but the dashcams timezone time are wrong. Basicallyi chose a timezonetbats 1 hour ahead to fix it to put the right time. Dont know why my areas time zone is wrong on the dashcam
@@AlexAutoFun i changed it once for daylights savings. Then after trying to change it back it wouldnt update. Just kept reverting
@@CryptoDrone You're welcome! Yeah I have to do the same here when DTS begins, don't forget to return it back to normal to correct the time. Cheers!

Hi Chris! Yeah mine is still going strong (but will update this comment if something changes) Congrats on your new dash cam and Cheers!
I love this menu compared to all the others I've been investigating. I'm definitely leaning towards this cam. I think they have a touch screen version now.
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah it's definitely a good dash cam and here is my full review video ua-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/v-deo.html so you can see the rest of it's features. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun great! I'll check it out.

Thanks Paulie! 😄
On my F7n, holding down that button just pauses the recording. It doesn't even stay paused either, it starts recording again in like 15 seconds. Pressing and releasing it quickly just takes a picture. I wish mine had that mute feature instead of the picture feature.
@@somerandom7458 Hi Random! Ah yes, they made some updates to the firmware, so that is the new functionality (Short press for picture, long press to stop recording). Not surprised, I often see dash cam manufacturers either remove or add features after I have reviewed a dash cam. The F7N actually got several hardware improvements recently, I might make a video on this new changes. Cheers!
Cool thank you .....
You're welcome Steven!
Excellent tutorial, sir, and I thank you. My kids got this F7N installed for me for Christmas because I travel a lot. I read the original manual, but it wasn't a lot of help. Your video cleared up many questions I had!
You're welcome and thank you DM-Rock!
I like your reviews of dash cans. Thank you. I'm ready to buy one and I have the following question ...
How would you compare the RedTiger F7N with the Nexar Nexc2 Dash Cams?
Thank you Ahmad! ah unfortunately I have not tested the Nexar Nexc2 dash cam, may have to add to the list of dash cams to review so I can compare. Stay tuned, Cheers!
Great tutorial
Thank you Adam!
Good video
Thanks Felixx!
Nice tutorial. But how do I DELETE previous video/photos? Is that done through the 'Format' icon as you showed? Or will that mess up my memory card? Thanks!
Good video..
Thank you!
Clear and concise. Great video, great camera for under $200. Do you know if it’s possible to order an extension cable for the rear camera? My car is kinda station wagon-shaped and it’s a bit snug when opening the trunk.
Also, is it possible to change the default password for the camera Wi-Fi?
Thank you! Ah there is no official extension cable for the rear camera (but there are generic ones available, however I have not experimented with them) Regarding the password, yes it can be changed in the app, here is the video for that ua-cam.com/video/n9pCrIPFLMA/v-deo.html Cheers!
Hello AutoFun,
can i use only the revers camera when i boot up the in screen ?
When i start my car the automatically split in front and reverse.
thanks for the video, I would like to know what is the difference within the F7N and the F7NP.
You're welcome Raul! Ah yes yhey are the same model, the only difference is that the F7NP includes a memory card. And remember I put the discount code in the video description in case you need it. Hope this helps, Cheers
hi. great video! may i ask, can you use this as a parking guide aswell? so you can see the back of your car when youre trying to park? does it have a guide line, thanks!
Thanks are why ei en! Ah regarding parking assist, nope this dash cam does not have that feature, but here is a good alternative that does have it ua-cam.com/video/uYhHgjI1oOE/v-deo.html And I have more dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thanks for your reply! i've watch the video but i think i need to connect the rear camera directly to the wire of the car right? which is i'm not good with it. i saw one of your video the Auto Vox TW1 that is the wireless parking assist. my friend told me there might be some delay if it is wireless, is that true? that Auto vox was my first choice because i really just need the parking assist. thanks in advance!!
@@arewhyeien772 Hi are why ei en! Correct, any wireless system will have delay but it so small I can't detect it as you saw on the video it almost looks instantaneous. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Great videos! Really helped seeing these particular the hardwire kit installs. Do you know if this and the F7N-PLUS model would record 24x7? It seems the timelapse options (12h/24h/48h) only records for that many hours while the car is parked. But if the car was parked say for 72h, it seems to not record beyond the max of 48h. Does that sound accurate?
Thank you Ray! Regarding the F7N plus, that is the same model as the F7N, the difference is that the plus comes with a memory card. For time lapse you are correct, the maximum time it can be set to is 48hrs (two days) since time lapse consumes more power than standard parking mode (g-sensor triggered) so the idea is to avoid draining the battery by preventing the time lapse feature to stay on too long. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks for the clarity really appreciate it!
@@rcharger007 You're welcome!
@@AlexAutoFun Hey do you know if after this lets say 72hr period where it'll stop time lapsing, the next time the car is turned on and off again will it automatically start a new 48hr time lapse?
Hi ewindolango! Correct, the time lapse function (park monitoring) restarts every time the car is turned off. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Very helpful. Installed hardwire kit. I hear cam beep when I connected hot and ground with ignition off. Set to G sensor Medium. But how I know if it's On when I'm away? I thought I read the blue light should be On but it is not. Parking mode is On.
Thanks Maxwell! Assuming the dash cam is hardwired correctly with the official hardwire kit and parking mode is enabled, park monitoring should be working. What I do to test it out (if set on G-Sensor) is I stay inside the car after turning it off and wait a bit (some dash cams have a delay before entering park mode) then I bump the dash cam to see if the impact triggers a recording. And if you are still having trouble, you can also contact RedTiger for support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps. Cheers!
Great info on this video but I do have a question if you have an accident how do you lock the video do it doesn’t get overridden? Thank you!
Thanks Judy! Ah yes the G-Sensor function is ON, and the impact is large enough to (depending on the sensitivity chosen at the G-Sensor setting screen) the video will be locked automatically by the dash cam. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thank you so much!
You're welcome!@@judyo8650
Thank you for this video
You're welcome Zed!
Hi, thank you for a very informative video. However, I had the cam hard wired and the motion sensor still is not working. What do you recommend?
Thank you Debbie! The F7N does not support motion detection for parking monitoring. If you need motion detection here is a good alternative ua-cam.com/video/vUEsIYEBVck/v-deo.html (radar based detection) or one of these (vision based detection) ua-cam.com/video/EeCSx35mkPY/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/lwoSbiwjSik/v-deo.html Cheers!
1:46 dying to know what those top secret conversations are about!
LOL! 😊
Great video! Just curious if there’s a way to mute the audio since when I press the bottom button, my dash cam takes a picture. Thanks I’m advance!
Thanks Nate! Ah yes to mute the audio I hold the bottom button down until the audio icon comes up, you can see that at the 1:35 mark Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun I will try that again. Last time I tried, it kept on taking a bunch of photos when trying to hold down the button! Also just curious about showing speed when driving. I’ve noticed that in some of my downloaded videos, my speed will stay at 0 even when the car is in motion. Any reason why?
@@NateGCook Hi Nate! that is strange, I would make sure the dash cam mount is fully locked in place (and the contacts on the mount and dash cam are clean) remember the GPS antenna is built inside the mount. Additionally you would want to confirm the dash cam has a clear view of the sky for the GPS to lock onto the satellites. If you are still having issues with it, I would also recommend contacting RedTiger for support, they may be able to walk you thru some trouble shooting steps (may be a firmware update if you are on an older one). Hope this helps, Cheers!
Have you done a comparative video of f7n & t27?
Hi Rajendra! The F7N and T27 dash cams are very different products in two different categories. The T27 is a mirror dash cam and the F7N is a classic stick style dash cam. However here is the review for the T27 if you like to compare them ua-cam.com/video/823doPGMu80/v-deo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Very nice 👌 👌💕💕🙏🙏
In F7NP, the 'Rearcam flip' function is to correctly orient the display when the rear camera which is mounted inside the car (as against F7N rear cam that is supposed to be mounted outside) is rotated and pointed towards the inside of the car.
Think this over. Proper orientation when pointed towards the outside becomes upside down when rotated and pointed towards the inside of the car. 'Rearcam flip' becomes useful then.
Hi Sreejit! Correct, the Rear Camera Flip can help to adjust for the rear camera installation. It flips the image vertically as shown at the 4:30 mark. Cheers!
I had to flip because I had the wire on the passenger side.
Hi Alex. I have 4runner TRD Sport. Anything I need to know before connecting 24 hour parking cable?
Hi! Ah yes, here is the video for the hardwire kit preparation ua-cam.com/video/OyQs8X7H56o/v-deo.html and here is my video on the actual installation process ua-cam.com/video/uZp95NbNlmM/v-deo.html Cheers!
When mounting the front camera, do you place it behind the rear view mirror or elsewhere so the driver can see it? What do you recommend? Thanks
Hi Carey! the front location varies, as some states have regulations that can limit the location of a dash cam and also personal preference. Here is my video where I cover this in detail and my recommended mounting locations ua-cam.com/video/F7OzM2i7ErE/v-deo.html Cheers!
I have also watched your video about connecting dash cam to OBD2 power cable, so can this dash cam be compatible with OBD2 power cable ? And, is there any OBD2 to USB Type-C power cable available in the market ? Thanks
Hi Andy! Ah yes there is a USB C version, here you go amzn.to/3yzwh8e Just keep in mind that while the OBD2 adapter can allow you to monitor your car while parked, it will not enable true park mode. The OBD2 adapter has two different power modes, I cover them in more detail and how they work on my original video here ua-cam.com/video/YEklm9V6xYE/v-deo.html Hope this helps Cheers!
When in parking mode, does the settings for the screen saver operate in parking mode? You said you turn the screen saver off, so does that mean that in parking mode your screen stays on all the time while you’re car is parked? If not, when does it turn off?
In time lapse mode, it is said that the camera records short video clips, which are then complied into a long video. How long are these videos, and on average, how big are the file size of these said “longer videos”?
And how does time lapse mode play a role with battery drain? Yes I understand that the hard wire kit prevents your car battery from draining below a certain point, but I’m curious about how much time lapse mode drains your battery with daily usage.
And last but not least, does any of their questions actually have real “motion detection” (person walking past your car), or do they all only have this time lapse feature?
Hi Ubreakit! Ah lots of good questions. Yes where correctly hardwired, the screen will turn off when the car enters parking monitoring. Regarding time lapse, the duration of the time lapse and the file size will vary tremendously depending on how long the car was left parked with time lapse enabled, how long your car battery can sustain time lapse and how large the memory card being used. Regarding motion detection (which to your point, is different than impact detection) A few dash cams out there have it, here you go ua-cam.com/video/vUEsIYEBVck/v-deo.html (radar based detection) and this ones have vision based detection ua-cam.com/video/EeCSx35mkPY/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/lwoSbiwjSik/v-deo.html Cheers!
Hey I have a question about the format tab. Is that only there to completely wipe everyrhing thats been recorded?
Does it automatically pull data to the sd card as soon as you first power the unit up?
This is the one thing I'm concerned about. Having my dashcam on but not actually recording to my sd card.
Hi Electrician! Yes the format option can be used to wipe out the memory card at once (as opposed to deleting individual videos) Regarding recording, yes it begins automatically every time the dash cams starts, you can see that an the rest of it's features in my full review here ua-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/v-deo.html Cheers!
Wish Redtiger would do an update to allow us to turn off the OSD (i.e. the date, time stamps, and especially the 2 cameras resolutions.)
He just showed how to remove the timestamp or am I missing something? I just got this cam. How do you like it?
👍
Thank you Reddylion!
Just bought one. With the dvr adapter and parking mode hardwire kit. So I cant use the DVR with parking mode? Or can I? Subscribe to ur channel too. Nice tutorials.
Thanks M and welcome to the Channel ! Ah I'm assuming to the FitDVR adapter here ua-cam.com/video/P0VapL70m7c/v-deo.html As explained in that video, park monitoring will depend on your vehicle. Most have switched power to this area, but some do have constant power, potentially enabling you to monitor your car while parked. And here is another solution for park monitoring without hardwire ua-cam.com/video/YEklm9V6xYE/v-deo.html Cheers!
Thank you for the video. I just bought my F7N, and I don't have speed stamp on the footage. Updated to the last firmware version, and still, doesn't show the speed on my footage. Any idea what can be or it's a camera bug? Thank you.
You're welcome Grigore! I would double check that the GPS watermark is enabled. You can see that setting around the 3:58 mark. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Everything is enabled, but still don't have the speed on the video. Don't know what is the problem. Thank you for your reply!
Hi Grigore! That is strange, I would recommend contacting RedTiger for support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps and please let us know what you find. Cheers!@@grigorezanfir
I noticed when you don't have the rear camera plugged in, you have the option to record at 4k30fps, 2k60fps, and 1080p120fps. However when you plug in the rear dash cam, you lose all fps options for the front cam it appears it defaults to 30fps for any resolution for both rear and front.
Is there away to for example set the front to record at 60 fps at 2k while having the rear cam plugged in? I really like the 60fps option.
Hi The Jaf! that's interesting your F7N may have a different firmware, mine only shows 4K or the 2K option with the rear camera unplugged no mention of high frame rate options. But yeah I seen that before on this dash cam ua-cam.com/video/FukYO3I8D1Y/v-deo.html where you can run either the front a high FPS or both the front and the right at high fps. I do have another coming on upgrading the F7N firmware, stay tuned for that one. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi how can you find the playback on the dash cam or you have find the playback in the app ?
@@davianberry528 Hi Davian! you can see how to playback videos directly on the dash cam at the 7:30 mark. I also got a video coming next week showing how to use the App. Stay tuned, Cheers!
I just bought it. But my problem is that I can't connect the dash cam to my Samsung s23 ultra. I go through the whole process but it won't find the camera
My friend has an iPhone and he can immediately connect to the camera. It's killing me.
Have you experienced the SD card getting filled because the loop feature doesn't work? I've read reviews that say this is a problem. I want to buy this but would prefer something you can set and forget. Also what can you say about the G-sensor mode? Too sensitive? Not sensitive enough? Does it record only 1 minute videos after a collision detection? Can it record for longer?
Hi Zev Richards! I have not experienced that issue with mine (going past a year now but will update this comment if something changes) I think you hit the nail in the head, I see this happen when people set their G sensor too high and the memory card becomes full of false alert videos that were locked by the G sensor due to the high setting. This is one of the reasons I run my dash cams at "Low" but I recommend experimenting with this setting as this varies from car to car and how sensitive you want it to be. Ah regarding the last question, remember the G-Sensor is just flagging the segment of video recorded, it does not change the video length of the video recorded (dash cam records continuous video with the segment length controlled the loop recording setting). Hope this help, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thank you for the response and explanation. Now I understand! Makes sense. Think I will go ahead and buy. Thank you!
@@zevrichards1200 You're welcome Zev! 😁
Extremely helpful thanks!
@@kargue9774 You're welcome!
Hi Sir,
Ava from England here. May I please ask if the recording loop in 3 minutes overrides the previous three minutes? Or is it the case that once you stop driving and review your recordings, you will have multiple three minute recordings? If the latter, may I also ask when will it override all the recordings or does it never do that? Thanks for such an amazing video!
Hi Ava! Loop recording records continuously (segmenting the video into clips) until the memory is full. Once the memory car is full, the video beings to be overwritten starting with the oldest clip ensuring you have fresh video available while overwriting old video, Cheers!
Thank you! Very helpful, indeed.
@@avamira4287 You're welcome Ava!
Hi I installed the hardwire kit for parking mod but when I turn off the car it’s still running is there a way to put it in sleep mode or something I want to run only if it see movement I don’t want my battery to die
Hi Mohammed! it sounds like the dash cam is staying on all the time instead of going into park mode when the car is turned off. Here is the video for the hardwire kit showing the connections ua-cam.com/video/K2iKXj82354/v-deo.html If I had to guess, it possible that ACC and BAT have been reversed or ACC was hooked to a fuse spot that never turns off (this will make the hardwire kit think the car is running and will keep the dash cam on continuously potentially draining the battery, I seen both cases, very common for either of these scenarios to happen during the install). Cheers!
Hello. When in park mode does the camera screen shut off, or does it stay on ?
Hi M Medley! The screen turns off (but it will turn on briefly and begin recording if someone triggers the parking mode) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Im having problems with my speed stamp showing any fix? All setting on
Hi Short! check your Speed Stamp and GPS stamp showed at the 3:59 mark. If it still does not come up try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it I recommend reaching out to RedTiger I heard they have good support and may be able to walk you thru enabling this function. Hope this helps, Cheers!
can you plug the cam into a PC with a usb port and download files and play them through VLC media player ?
No but you can just take out the sd card that’s in the dashcam, put it into ur pc and do that
I never use the suction cup to attach it to the windshield, because with heat they all fall. In the Redtiger dash cams you cant detach the suction cup because the GPS module comes together. And I have compared both, Redtiger F7N and Rove r2-4k pro. Image quality much better in the Rove r2. Redtiger a little more field of view than Rove r2. Just in my opinion, at the same time i respect anybody else opinion.
HI Daniel! Ah yes the F7NP uses a suction cup, if you like the normal adhesive type (my preference also) you want the standard F7N I featured on this video (Iinks to both the F7N, F7NP and F7S are in the video description). You are also correct on the AOV (angle of view), the Redtiger uses a 170° to capture more of the road where the R2-4K Pro uses 140° for a more narrow view, and yep I agree, some people prefer a wider view and some prefer a narrow view. Here is the full review for the R2-4K Pro ua-cam.com/video/OhAXWsGIucs/v-deo.html Cheers!
Did you ever have an issue where the camera loops the recording but 5-10 seconds isn’t recorded on the camera then it records again ? By the way I have a Onn. 32gb micro sd
Hi LUanity! That is strange, it should not do that. But it may just a memory card issue. Some dash cam are very sensitive to low performing cards (and sometimes even the brand) Here is the card I use amzn.to/45HublL I would also recommend contacting RedTiger for tech support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps. And please keep us posted on your findings. Cheers!
I just bought this and hooked it up. Seems to work well but I don’t see the speed stamp on playback videos. I made sure the speed stamp is set to on. Any thoughts?
Hi Ricardo! Ah remember GPS is separate from the Speed stamp, so each one can be turn on or off. So I would recommend to confirm both are on if you want both coordinates and speed to be stamped on your video. And here is the full review for this dash cam if you want to see the rest of it's features ua-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/v-deo.html Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun weird. When I have the speed stamp on and GPS off, it doesn’t show the speed stamp, but when I turn the GPS on, it shows the speed stamp and GPS. I would prefer to have the speed on and not GPS, but that doesn’t seem like an option. Thanks for the response.
You're welcome! Yeah in a weird way, I guess it makes sense, if you turn the GPS off, it fully turns it off, so no coordinates or speed since the GPS module is turned off. And turning the GPS on enables Speed and Coordinates (assuming Speed is enabled) Cheers!@@ricardoh3178
Hey man can you tell me how to download app and use from iPhone
Hi! There are two versions of the F7N (different firmware). One uses the RedTiger App and the other uses the Ucam App (check your owners manual, it will tell you which one you need to download from the App store. And here is my video on how to use it ua-cam.com/video/n9pCrIPFLMA/v-deo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
I have this same camera.. however when I hold down the button to stop recording it will automatically start recording again? Should I send mine back for another camera? Also I don't know how to flag a video and you didn't explain how to flag a video for "Urgent" from the video list. Seems like you can only flag a video if that video is currently is being recorded and thats a deal breaker for me.
Hi Jordan! Correct, most dash cams will resume recording even if you stop the recording manually (the usually wait a bit then they resume recording on their own) This is a safety measure to ensure the driver did not forget to start recording again. Regarding how to flag a video, you can see how to lock a video in my full review where I cover the main functions of the dash cam (jump to around the 7 minute mark) ua-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/v-deo.html Cheers!
HI I have a Chevy Silverado high country and it does not have a cigarette charger iIhave USB port what cord do I get thats compatabile with the camera
Hi Raphael! here you go amzn.to/45g5k7O Cheers!
Maybe I missed it in the video, but how to playback rear-camera recording?
Hi Mission! You can see how to access playback mode, at approx. the 7:30 mark. Front camera videos end with a letter "A" and rear camera videos end with the letter "B". Cheers!
Hi I have this dash cam but I want it to record front and back in the same time is it possible?
Hi Afnan! Yes it records both front and back at the same time. Here is my full review video so you can see how it works ua-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/v-deo.html Cheers!
Just bought it, but I can’t get the app to work while CarPlay is on. Is there any way around this?
Hi Taylor! Ah nope, remember, your cell phone (like most phones) can only support one WIFI connection at a time, so you will want to connect to the dash cam or to CarPlay. Cheers!
I have a question I hope you can help me when the camera is recording and when I want to review the camera it does not record a lot of things that I want to see it does not work what is the solution
Hi Abdulrazak! Ah yes if the camera is not recording the things you want to capture I recommend trying a different angle, here is another video ua-cam.com/video/F7OzM2i7ErE/v-deo.html where I show you the best dash cam positions. Once you have the camera mounted in the best possible location (that will capture what you want to record) you can also fine tune the angle with since the mount has "tilt" so you can adjust further to get the best possible view. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Alex, I just got my dash cam & wanted to bench test it before mounting it. Can I just plug it into a USB port, or will that damage the camera?
Hi AZ! Ah I recommend only using it with it's power supply (the bench test idea is very good, I usually do the same before unwinding the cables or mounting, I just connect the cables and connect it to the car to see that everything works before actually installing it) Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks for the quick reply Alex, I was hoping to get it installed today!
Only came here for parking modes options and how to set it up. Please include this.
Hi Guy! Parking modes are described at around the 6:50 mark (time lapse or impact recording) and here is the video for the hardwire kit ua-cam.com/video/OyQs8X7H56o/v-deo.html Cheers!
vielen Dank für das Video.
ich habe genauso so die diese Dashcam mein Problem ist das Video speichert max 5 Minuten und noch mal etw
gibt es eine Lösung, dass ich währende der Fahr das Video immer mit der Offene Zeit weiter aufgenommen wird ?
Hi Samer! You can increase or decrease the length of each video clip using the Loop Recording function shown on the video. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun
Vielen für deine Antwort
Es gab nur eine Option, die ich gefunden haben 1 oder 3 oder 5 Minuten zur Wahl mehr habe ich nicht gefunden.
Wo kann ich genau Loop finden, um Videos mehr als 5 Minuten zu dauern.
Hi Samer! If you need a dash cam with a longer loop recording option, I would recommend this one ua-cam.com/video/m8jMYIB_MQ8/v-deo.html Cheers!@@havalmhmmad8331
does it automatically overwrite once the card is full? where is the setting for that?
Hi Tau TV! correct it will automatically do that (this option cannot be turned off) it's called loop recording on dash cams. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Which one is the highest resolution i see that you chose the medium resolution ?
Hi Omar! As shown in the video, the highest resolution setting is 2160p (4K). And here is the full review for the F7N ua-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/v-deo.html if you want to see the rest of it's features.
I noticed when I turn off the car and camera is off I can no longer see what was recorded within the app. Is there a setting to be able to do so even when the camera is off?
Hi L! Correct, wifi dash cams will no longer let you connect to them when the car is off. If you need video from the dash cam when the car is off, you want a Cloud dash cam like this one ua-cam.com/video/EBLvq2X2SwQ/v-deo.html Cheers!
I can’t seem to get videos to download to app. Is it because I have CarPlay and it’s not connecting to WiFi ?
Hi lee! Ah yes here is the video on how to use the App ua-cam.com/video/n9pCrIPFLMA/v-deo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
Do you know how to save settings? Bc everytime i get in my car and the dashcam turns on, both front and rear cameras are on screen but i only want front camera showing but rear still recording
Hi! The settings are saved automatically when you exit the settings menu. Cheers!
Hi Alex, actually I have the same issue, I want only front camera to be seen on the display, but every time I swith it in both(F+R) are there. Went through settings, but it is the same.... Plz help)
@@B.M.777 i actually contacted Redtiger and they said that it does that from factory, i suggested to them to try to do it where when the camera turns off, that it keeps whatever display you left it on, and they said they were going to look into it
@@low16ltThank you, hope we will see it in new firmware....
Hi I have an issue where my dashcam stays on even my car is off but my dad has the same camera and his turns off when the car is off, what do I do? It's the same dash cam as this video
Hi bluekatt24! I would check the cigarette lighter port on the car. It should turn off when the car is turned off, which in turn will make the dash cam turn off. However there are a few cars out there where the cigarette lighter port stays on all time (even when the car is off) which if that is the case, the dash cam will also stay on all time. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Any idea why it would continue to turn on and off? A few months ago it started to do that and now it's bad. It also gets hot. I've reformatted the card but it got worse.
Hi Chris! That is strange, it should not do that, it may just a memory card issue. Some dash cam are very sensitive to low performing cards (and sometimes even the brand) Here is the card I use amzn.to/45HublL I would also recommend contacting RedTiger for tech support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps. And please keep us posted on your findings. Cheers!
I got the F7NP for like 3 months. Today it suddenly show up and error “card error please try to reboot” I dont know hơ to fix it. Please help
Hi Tung! That definitely sounds like your memory card has failed, worn out or needs re-formatting. Here is the memory card I use amzn.to/45HublL Cheers!
Hello I recently bought my redtiger f7np and installed it on my 09 accord sedan . I bought the hardwire and connected the yellow wire to my seat adjustment fuse#19 and connected the red wire to wipers fuse#4 and grouded it with the bolt to my trunk latch . My question is why does my time reset back to an hour before no matter how many times I've changed it . I looked it up and found no information please help . Once you set the time am I supposed to just press the power button to return back to my main menu with the settings changed ?
Hi Nelson! It's possible your time zone is set incorrectly causing the dashcam to think you are somewhere else overriding your manually entered time. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun thank you Alex for your reply . I'm in nj on the eastern time zone unless it's supposed to be under another time zone . The fuse for the wipers is a 7.5 instead of a 15 or 20 could that maybe be the issue . Maybe I need a stronger fuse to connect to ?
Can you plug it directly to the fuze hard wire
Hi Omar! Yes it can be hardwired, here is the kit for it ua-cam.com/video/OyQs8X7H56o/v-deo.html Cheers!
Hey, is there a dedicated night vision mode or does it do it automatically?
Hi! The dash cam will automatically adjust the video exposure for night driving as seen in the night test drive portion of my review here ua-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/v-deo.html Cheers!
thanks bud i'll check it out @@AlexAutoFun

Is it possible to play recorded videos on dashcam??
Hi DODO! yes you can see this a the 7:29 mark. Hope this helps and cheers bud!
Hey there , I have a question is there any additional cable that allows me to see when I am parking my car I have seen some videos when they put on reverse their cars it automatically changes to the rear view, I hope you can see my comment!!
Hi Selwyn! ah yes parking assist, nope this dash cam does not support it (it's kind of a rare option on stick style dash cams) But here are two alternatives that do have that option (mirror style) ua-cam.com/video/823doPGMu80/v-deo.html and this one ua-cam.com/video/vUEsIYEBVck/v-deo.html Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Caught you thanks , sorry but do you know if I can set up the REDTIGER Dash cam to connect with my phone Wi-Fi automatically?
@@selwynvgaa6918 Hi Selwyn! ah nope, there is no way to automatically have the F7N connect to you phone automatically. For that you would want a Cloud enabled dash cam like this one ua-cam.com/video/BAEH4f2ulEs/v-deo.html (live view, notifications to your phone etc.) Hope this helps, Cheers!
It's not going to automatically switch to the 'rear' view, but you can switch the display manually by short pressing the power button. It will cycle thru all three display options; front, rear, both.
@@davidbayles6494 Yeah right I wish I could see the yellow lines while parking reverse!! Thanks man
Hi I am from India. I just bought redtiger F7N. after installation it's rear camera is working fine but front camera is not recording video. While seeing in mobile app the front camera only showing still image with recorded voice. What will be the solution please
Hi MrMfahad! I would have the installer check the installation and settings to make sure everything is ok. And if you want to bypass your installer, you can also contact RedTiger for support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps. Cheers!
I noticed when I installed my dash cam it automatically starts recording as soon as the power is on and when I stop the recording it automatically resumes recording after a few seconds. Is this what this camera is designed for? or is there a setting to change it?
Hi Watze Ng Go! yeah that is normal, most dash cams do that to ensure that the user does not forget to restart the recording. There are a few dash cams out there that will allow you to turn off the auto record feature but it's somewhat of a rare option. Hope this helps, Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thank you for your reply.

What's the difference between Red tiger f7n and f7np and f7npro
Hi! F7N comes with an adhesive mount and waterproof rear camera, F7NP comes with a suction cup mount and rear camera, and F7NS does not include a rear camera. I put links to each in the video description. Cheers!
My firmware has been updated to F7N_20220929.318_EN.V113 and I have the usb-c power connection. When I short press the down button (right-side, bottom), my camera takes a photo.
Hi David! Nice! yeah I seen that Wolfbox like to continue updating the dash cams both in terms of firmware and hardware which is great. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun What's a good editing app? I tried in one and the resolution was garbage and vid was skippy. Suggestions?
@@davidbayles6494 Hi David! If you are looking to edit I use Adobe Premiere, if you are looking to modify the footage (container or bandwidth or resolution) I would recommend Handbrake and if you are just looking for an advanced video player that can pretty much play almost any format I would recommend VLC Player. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Do you know how to find out how much time you have to record
Hi Smack! First this will depend on the memory card size you are using, you can take the memory card to a PC to see how much space there is left in the memory card then based on what resolution your are running, if you are running one or two channels and based on the number of locked videos you can calculate time left. However most people usually won’t do that since dash cams use loop recording there is no need to check for how much time you have left as the dash cam will continue to record using loop recording to ensure fresh video is available. Cheers!
@AlexAutoFun thanks for the reply. I was just wondering since my old dash cam would show how much time you had left to record
Can you actually leave the Wifi (on) instead off forever?
Hi Arvin! Correct, Wifi enabled dash cams will turn off the Wifi everytime the Dash cam is turned off. However if you want the Wifi to always stay on for remote viewing (notifications to your phone etc.) you would want a Cloud enabled dash cam like this one ua-cam.com/video/BAEH4f2ulEs/v-deo.html And I have more dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Does a Low Voltage Protection

60FPS option is not available with rear cam attached.
Hi Movie Buff! The F7N's frame rate is not adjustable, it is set to 30 FPS for both the front and rear. If you need high frame rate, here is are a couple of good choices ua-cam.com/video/OhAXWsGIucs/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/FukYO3I8D1Y/v-deo.html Cheers!
I’ve read that the FPS rate is defaulted to 30 w/ rear cam plugged in. But mine is 24 FPS… how do i get 30?
Hi G! That is strange, it should not do that (The FPS is not adjustable on this dash cam) I recommend contacting RedTiger for tech support, they may be able to walk you thru some troubleshooting steps. And please keep us posted on your findings. Cheers!
Whats the wifi credentials? To link the app?
Hi Chyn! you can see how to turn on the Wifi at the 1:15 mark which will also display the WIFI credentials needed to connect. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Can the loop be turned off on the F7N?
Hi Steve, Nope loop recording cannot be turned off on the F7N. However here is one good alternative that does let you turn off Loop Recording ua-cam.com/video/OhAXWsGIucs/v-deo.html And I have more dash cam reviews on my channel in the playlist "Dash Cams Reviews" if you like to compare them. Cheers!
I installed my F7NP and edited the Settings. Now what?
I'm looking for a video that tells me if I need to do something before each trip. How do I know it is always recording?
What if I crash? Is there something I have to press to save the video.
Why can't I connect to the WiFi? Is that important? Do I really need to reconnect to EiFi gor each trip? I make about 30 trips a day - Often while conducting business over the phone.
Hi Bubby! If you changed the settings and are not sure what you changed, you can always restore the dash cam to it's default factory settings. Regarding recording, it records automatically every time the car is turned on. Same with the car crash videos, if the crash is strong enough to trigger the dash cam it, that section of the video will be flagged. However even if the car crash is not strong enough to trigger the G sensor, the dash cam still recorded the incident. And not you do not need to connector the Wifi, the dash cam records completely independently of the Wifi. And here is my full review ua-cam.com/video/tWanKbCxS1M/v-deo.html if you want to see how to use the rest of the dash cam features (additionally there is a manual included with your dash cam, good info there too as well) Cheers!
For the parking mode, should I turn it off when I am driving, and only enable it when the car is in parking mode?
Hi Aaron! If the dash cam is hardwired with the RedTiger hardwire kit and parking mode is enabled, then it will turn on automatically when the car is off and when the car is turned on, parking mode will turn off. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thank you for your quick response. I watched your another video before, which I purchased the RedTiger OBD2 cable instead, is this the same as the hardwire kit? And which parking mode do you recommend, regular or the time lapse?
Hi Aaron!@@aaronxiong6249 Nope, the OBD power adapter is different, here is what the hardwire kit looks like ua-cam.com/video/OyQs8X7H56o/v-deo.html Ah regarding parking modes, it's just a matter of preference, I personally prefer regular, but some people do run theirs in time lapse mode, it's just a matter of choice. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Hello again, I want to provide you with some updates on my progress and ask a few more questions if you don't mind. I recently received a RedTiger OBD2 cable and connected it to my 2022 Toyota RAV4. I noticed that the dash cam continues to record even after parking mode is enabled and the engine is turned off. However, I did come across something unusual - the security indicator light keeps flashing. Initially, I was concerned about this, but after some online research, I learned that it's actually the expected behavior, indicating that the anti-theft feature is functioning correctly. Additionally, I've experienced issues with the unlock button and proximity buttons on my vehicle; I've had to rely on the key fob to lock and unlock my car. After I unplug the OBD2 cable from the dash cam, the car lock/unlock buttons and the proximity buttons are working again.
I'm beginning to wonder if these issues are the reason you recommended the Hardwire Kit instead of the OBD2 cable. Could you please provide some clarification on this?
Also, I noticed that your business is based in Toronto as well. Is that correct?
Hi Aaron! That is strange, normally OBD2 adapters do not interact with the car's systems, they normally only use the power pins on the OBD2 port, here is my video where I cover this in more detail ua-cam.com/video/aV5jQovoaCI/v-deo.html I don't have a brick and mortar business, I'm in SoCal, I specialize in reviewing products, Cheers! @@aaronxiong6249
