So for one full day I went to the Darkside, I needed a way to get the dash cam video off of the microSD card because our underground Parkade was broken into and several cars were vandalized. (I’m surprised they didn’t smash my glass to steal my dashcam) I tried buying an Apple SD to lightning adaptor And using dropbox and the VLC apps it simply wouldn’t work. ( so I returned it) Even the Apple tech guy at Bestbuy couldn’t get it going. So I bought a very cheap android tablet, a Samsung Galaxy Tab E Lite. At least with this I was able to see the surveillance videos, with the apps mentioned above, but there was no way to save them and when I did email one it said file could not open. So I ended up returning the tablet.
The Apple tech concluded that because the dashcam shoots vids in AVI format and this dashcam is not able to be set to MP4 or MOV, it is basically meant to have the micro SD card put in a Microsoft computer to view the vids. I do have another cheaper SD to Lightning cable coming in from EBay and I will try again now that I know how dropbox and VLC work now, and it could be that because the Best Buy Wi-Fi was probably slow, and the guy didn’t wait long enough with one of the vids to upload as they are pretty large files in 1080 P. The dash cam shoots continuous loops and a new video every 3 minutes.
So I need to know are you able to use VLC or dropbox with AVI files from something like a camera or dash cam?
