Setup and Installation
1. Preparing the SD Card
Before first use, it is essential to format your SD card directly within the dash cam. This ensures compatibility and optimal performance. It is recommended to reformat the SD card monthly to maintain recording efficiency.
2. Mounting the Dash Cam
The AZDOME PG02S mirror dash cam is designed to attach over your existing rearview mirror using the provided rubber fasteners. Ensure the camera is securely mounted and does not obstruct your view.
3. Installing the Rear Camera
The 1080P IP68 waterproof rear camera can be installed on your vehicle's license plate area. Route the 6-meter cable discreetly to the main dash cam unit. For larger vehicles like RVs or trucks, a 10-meter extension cable (ASIN: B08VWBBJHZ) may be required.
4. Power Connection
Connect the dash cam to your vehicle's power source using the supplied USB car charger. For 24-hour parking monitoring functionality, a hardwire kit (ASIN: B096M8FPLK) is necessary to provide continuous power when the vehicle is parked.
Operating Instructions

The 10-inch full touch screen allows for intuitive control and navigation of the dash cam's features and settings. Swipe and tap gestures are used to access menus and functions.

Loop Recording
The device supports loop recording, which automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked video files when the memory card is full. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

Emergency Video Lock (G-Sensor)
In the event of a collision, the built-in G-sensor automatically detects the impact and locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This provides crucial evidence in case of an accident.

4. Display Modes
The 10-inch screen can display the front and rear camera images simultaneously in a split-screen view, or you can switch to view either camera individually.
