The M590 supports versatile recording options:

  • 3-Channel Mode: Records simultaneously from the front (2.5K QHD), cabin (1080P), and rear (1080P) cameras. Each camera features a 150° ultra-wide angle lens.
  • 1-Channel Mode: The front camera can record up to 4K resolution when operating alone.

4.2. WDR & IR Night Vision

The M590 incorporates WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology to ensure clear images in varying light conditions, from bright sunlight to dim environments. The cabin camera is equipped with 6 infrared LED lights for powerful night vision, allowing clear capture of the vehicle's interior in darkness.

4.3. Loop-Cycle Recording

The dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

4.4. G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These emergency files are stored in a separate folder.

4.5. Parking Monitor

With the parking monitor feature, the dash cam can detect motion or impact while your vehicle is parked and automatically start recording. This feature requires a continuous power supply (e.g., via a hardwire kit, not included in standard package) to function for extended periods.

4.6. Voice Control

The M590 supports voice commands for certain functions, allowing hands-free operation. Refer to the on-screen prompts or app settings for available voice commands.

4.7. GPS Player

For detailed playback of GPS data, download the free AZDOME GPS Player software on your computer. This allows you to view recorded videos along with your driving route, speed, and location on a map.

5. Maintenance

  • Memory Card: Format the MicroSD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to prevent data corruption and ensure optimal performance. Do this via the dash cam's settings menu or the AZDOME app.
  • Lens Cleaning: Keep the camera lenses clean from dust and smudges using a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Temperature: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods. The operating temperature range is -20°C to 70°C.
  • Firmware Updates: Check the AZDOME website or app periodically for firmware updates to improve performance and add new features.

6. Troubleshooting

Dash cam does not power on:
Ensure the car charger is properly connected to the vehicle's power outlet and the dash cam. Check if the vehicle's power outlet is functioning.
Dash cam stops recording or shows "Card Full" error:
Format the MicroSD card. Ensure loop recording is enabled. If many emergency (locked) files exist, delete unnecessary ones or format the card.
WiFi connection issues:
Ensure WiFi is enabled on the dash cam and your smartphone. Try restarting both devices. Make sure you are within range of the dash cam's WiFi signal.
GPS not recording location/speed:
Ensure the dash cam has a clear view of the sky to receive GPS signals. It may take a few minutes to acquire a signal after startup.
Video quality is poor:
Clean the camera lenses. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lenses. Check video resolution settings in the menu or app.

8. User Tips

  • Installation Clarity: When installing, ensure all cables are securely connected and routed away from airbags or other safety features. Use the provided pry tool and cable clips for a clean and safe installation.
  • Memory Card Choice: Always use a high-quality, branded Class 10 (or U3 for 4K recording) MicroSD card for reliable performance. Generic cards may cause recording errors.
  • App Connectivity: If you experience issues connecting to the app, try disabling your phone's mobile data temporarily to ensure it prioritizes the dash cam's WiFi network.
  • GPS Signal: For accurate GPS tracking, mount the dash cam where it has an unobstructed view of the sky. Metallic tints on windshields can sometimes interfere with GPS signals.
