Setup

1. Inserting the MicroSD Card

The AZDOME GS63H requires a MicroSD card (Class 10 or higher, up to 64GB recommended, though it supports up to 256GB) for recording. The card is not included and must be purchased separately.

1. Locate the MicroSD card slot on the side of the dash cam.
2. Insert the MicroSD card with the gold contacts facing the back of the camera until it clicks into place.
3. To remove, gently push the card in until it clicks, then release to eject.

2. Mounting the Dash Cam

Choose a location on your windshield that does not obstruct your view and is close to the center of the windshield for optimal recording angle.

1. Clean the chosen area on the windshield thoroughly.
2. Attach the suction cup mount to the dash cam.
3. Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and flip the lever to secure it.
4. Adjust the camera angle to ensure the road ahead is clearly visible in the display.

2. Connect the Mini USB cable from the car charger to the dash cam's power input.
3. Route the cable neatly along the windshield trim using the trim removal tool and cable clips to avoid obstruction.
4. The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The camera powers on automatically with vehicle ignition. To manually power on/off, press and hold the Power button.
• Recording: Recording starts automatically when the device is powered on. A red dot indicator on the screen signifies active recording.
• Emergency Lock: During recording, press the "Emergency Lock" button to protect the current video segment from being overwritten by loop recording.
• Menu Navigation: Use the "Menu" button to access settings. Use the Up/Down buttons to navigate and "OK" to confirm.

Advanced Features

Loop Recording

The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5-minute segments). When the MicroSD card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten to make space for new recordings. Ensure important footage is locked or backed up.

G-Sensor (Gravity Sensor)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video file, preventing it from being overwritten during loop recording. The sensitivity of the G-Sensor can be adjusted in the settings.

Parking Monitor (24H Parking Mode)

This feature allows the dash cam to continue monitoring your vehicle even when parked. It can be configured to record in different scenarios:

• Collision Detection: Records when an impact is detected (requires hardwire kit for continuous power).
• Motion Detection: Records when motion is detected in front of the camera.
• Time-Lapse Monitoring: Records continuously at a low frame rate to save storage space.

A hardwire kit (sold separately, ASIN: B08M9UL327) is recommended for full 24H parking mode functionality to prevent draining your car battery.

GPS Functionality

The integrated GPS module records your vehicle's location, speed, and route data. This information can be viewed on Google Maps using the dedicated PC Video Player software or through the AZDOME app.

WiFi Connectivity and App Control

Connect your smartphone to the dash cam via WiFi using the "LuckyCam" (or AZDOME) app. This allows you to:

• View live footage.
• Playback recorded videos.
• Download videos to your phone.
• Adjust camera settings.
• Share footage directly from the app.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) Technology

WDR technology automatically balances exposure, ensuring clear video capture in both low-light and bright conditions, such as when exiting a tunnel or driving at night.

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)

The dash cam includes ADAS features to enhance driving safety:

• LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System): Alerts you if the vehicle drifts out of its lane.
• FCW (Forward Collision Warning): Provides an alert if the system detects a potential front-end collision.

Maintenance

MicroSD Card Management

• Formatting: It is recommended to format the MicroSD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the camera's menu settings.
• Card Lifespan: MicroSD cards have a limited number of write cycles. If you experience recording errors, consider replacing the card.
