Other cameras and folders
Any camera that writes the date and time into its file names works, and everything else is sorted by the file date. That includes phone exports, action cameras and drones.
Works with your dashcam
Tripframe reads the date, time, camera and recording type from the file names, and the GPS track from inside the video when a brand stores it in a format Tripframe knows.

“Many models”: cameras built on the same Novatek platform as Viofo store GPS the same way, and then the route appears on the map.
A moment, not a file name
Dashcams name every clip with a string of digits. Tripframe reads date, time, camera and recording type straight from those names, for the brands below and anything that writes a date into its file names.
Your GPS is not on the map?
Thinkware, Nextbase, Garmin and 70mai store GPS in their own formats, which Tripframe cannot read yet. The video plays normally. A short sample clip helps add support. Share one on GitHub
H.265 (HEVC) video
Many dashcams record in H.265 (HEVC). Edge plays it on most Windows PCs; Chrome needs the HEVC Video Extension from the Microsoft Store; Safari on a Mac plays it out of the box. How to play H.265 video
