4. Setup & Installation
4.1 Inserting the SD Card
The AZDOME M01 Max comes with a 64GB TF card pre-installed. If you need to replace or upgrade the card, ensure it is a Class 10 or higher Micro SD card, with a maximum supported capacity of 128GB. Gently insert the card into the designated slot until it clicks into place.
4.2 Mounting the Dash Cam
Choose between the 3M Sticky Mount or the Suction Mount for installation on your vehicle's windshield. Ensure the mounting location provides a clear view of the road and does not obstruct your driving visibility. Clean the windshield surface thoroughly before applying the mount.
4.3 Connecting the Rear Camera
Connect the rear camera to the main dash cam unit. The rear camera is IP68 waterproof and can be installed outside the vehicle, typically on the rear license plate area or inside the rear window. Use the provided car wiring tool and cable clips to neatly route the cable, ensuring it does not interfere with vehicle operations.
4.4 Power Connection
Connect the dash cam to your vehicle's power supply using the provided car charger. Route the power cable along the windshield and dashboard edges to keep it tidy and out of the way.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: The dash cam will typically power on automatically when your vehicle starts and power off when the engine is turned off. You can also manually power it on/off using the designated button.
- Recording: Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically begin loop recording.
- Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in segments. When the memory card is full, it automatically overwrites the oldest unprotected files to make space for new recordings.
- G-Sensor: The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment to prevent it from being overwritten, ensuring critical evidence is preserved.
- NightShot Function: The dash cam is equipped with a NightShot function to enhance video clarity in low-light conditions.
- Real Time Surveillance: The dash cam provides real-time video surveillance, which can be viewed on its built-in IPS display.
6. APP Control & Wi-Fi Connection
The AZDOME M01 Max features built-in Wi-Fi, allowing you to connect your smartphone via the dedicated AZDOME app for easy control and management.
6.1 Downloading the AZDOME App
Download the official AZDOME app from the Google Play Store (for Android devices) or the Apple App Store (for iOS devices).
6.2 Connecting to Wi-Fi
- Install the AZDOME App on your smartphone.
- Turn on the dash cam.
- On your phone, go to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network (SSID and password usually displayed on the dash cam screen or in the manual).
- Open the AZDOME app and click "Add Dashcam".
- Choose your Dashcam Model (M01 Max).
- Start Recording or manage settings.
6.3 App Functions
Through the AZDOME app, you can:

- Adjust dash cam settings (e.g., resolution, G-Sensor sensitivity, loop recording duration).
- Share videos to social media platforms.
7. Parking Modes
The AZDOME M01 Max offers two parking modes to protect your vehicle when parked:
- Collision Detection Parking Mode: Utilizes the G-Sensor to detect impacts while parked. If a collision is detected, the dash cam will automatically power on and record a locked video segment.
- Time-lapse Parking Mode: This mode allows the dash cam to record continuously for 12/24/48 hours at a low frame rate, creating a time-lapse video of your parked vehicle's surroundings. Note: A hardwire kit (sold separately) is required to enable the time-lapse parking mode.
8. ADAS & Fatigue Driving Reminder
The AZDOME M01 Max includes Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and a Fatigue Driving Reminder to enhance driving safety:
- ADAS: Provides alerts for potential hazards such as lane departure warnings (if the vehicle deviates from the lane without signaling) and forward collision warnings (if the vehicle exceeds a certain speed).
- Fatigue Driving Reminder: Notifies the driver to take a rest after continuous driving for a set period (e.g., 4 hours) to prevent fatigue-related accidents.
9. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- SD Card Management: Regularly format your SD card (e.g., once a month) through the dash cam's settings to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important videos before formatting.
- Firmware Updates: Check the AZDOME official website or app periodically for firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
- Operating Environment: Operate the dash cam within the specified working temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. Extreme temperatures can affect performance and longevity.
10. Troubleshooting
- Dash Cam Not Powering On: Ensure the car charger is properly connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power outlet. Check the vehicle's fuse for the power outlet.
- Recording Issues: If the dash cam is not recording, check if the SD card is inserted correctly and if it has sufficient free space. Format the SD card if necessary. Ensure loop recording is enabled.
- Wi-Fi Connection Problems: Make sure the dash cam's Wi-Fi is enabled. Keep your smartphone within 10 feet of the dash cam for a stable connection. Restart both the dash cam and your phone if issues persist.
- Rear Camera Not Displaying: Verify that the rear camera cable is securely connected to the main unit. Check for any damage to the cable or camera.
- ADAS/Fatigue Reminder Not Working: Ensure these features are enabled in the dash cam settings via the app or on the device itself. Calibrate ADAS if required by the instructions.
11. User Tips
- Optimal Wi-Fi Range: For the best experience with the AZDOME app, keep your dash cam and smartphone within 10 feet of each other when connecting via Wi-Fi.
- Truck Windshield Compatibility: The dash cam is designed for various vehicle types. For trucks with flat windshields, ensure the chosen mount (suction or sticky) can create a secure seal and provide a stable view. Adjust the camera angle as needed for optimal recording.
- Hardwire Kit for Parking Mode: To utilize the 24-hour time-lapse parking mode, a separate hardwire kit is necessary to provide continuous power to the dash cam when the vehicle is off.
