How to view Redtiger dashcam footage on your computer

Redtiger's F7N and other budget 4K dashcams are bestsellers. Here is how to watch the footage on a PC or Mac, front and rear in sync, with the GPS route where available.

Redtiger sells some of the most popular budget 4K dashcams online, the F7N family in particular: a 4K front camera, a 1080p rear camera and Wi-Fi, at a low price. Redtiger offers a phone app for quick access, but a whole trip is much easier to review on a big screen.

How Redtiger files are named

Redtiger cameras name files after the date and time of recording, followed by the camera, for example 2024_0315_143022_F.MP4 and ..._R.MP4. Locked clips go into a separate event folder.

Watching Redtiger footage with Tripframe

Tripframe reads these names.

Put the microSD card in your computer.
Open the app in Chrome or Edge.
Choose the card.

Every clip appears by day and time. The front and rear file of the same moment form one tile and play together: side by side, picture in picture, or one camera at a time. Event clips are labelled.

A 4K front camera deserves frame stepping

With a 4K front camera, a plate is often readable, but only on one or two frames. Pause, step with , and ., and press S to save the sharpest frame as a PNG.

GPS

If your Redtiger has a GPS module and stores its data the Novatek way, Tripframe draws the route and speed on a map. Otherwise the clip plays without the map.

H.265

Some Redtiger models can record in H.265. If a clip stays black, read how to play H.265 dashcam video.
