• G-Sensor & Loop Recording

  The G-Sensor automatically locks emergency video in the event of a collision, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. Loop recording ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest unlocked files when the memory card is full.

Setup

Follow these steps for the initial setup and installation of your AZDOME M17 Dash Cam:

1. Install Dash Cam on Windshield

   Clean the area on your front windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam. Apply the electrostatic sticker first, then attach the dash cam mount to the sticker. Ensure the camera has a clear view of the road.

2. Connect Power Supply

   Connect the 12ft power supply cable to the dash cam and plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Route the cable neatly using the provided cable clips and pry tool to hide it along the car's interior trim.

3. Insert Micro SD Card

   Insert a high-speed Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher, up to 128GB recommended) into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure it is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.

4. Format Micro SD Card

   Once powered on, navigate to the settings menu on the dash cam or through the AZDOME App to format the Micro SD card. This prepares the card for recording and ensures optimal performance.

5. Connect to AZDOME App (WiFi)

   1. Download the 'AZDOME App' from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
   2. Turn off cellular data on your smartphone.
   3. Go to your phone's WiFi settings and connect to the dash cam's WiFi network (usually named "AZDOME_M17_XXXX"). The default password is "12345678".
   4. Open the AZDOME App. You should now be able to view live footage, access recordings, and adjust settings.

Operating Instructions

• Basic Recording

  Once powered on and with a formatted SD card, the dash cam will automatically begin recording. The recording indicator (usually a red dot or flashing icon) will be visible on the screen.

• Emergency Lock (G-Sensor)

  In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-Sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current video segment, protecting it from being overwritten by loop recording. You can also manually lock a video by pressing the designated emergency lock button on the dash cam.

• Parking Monitoring

  To enable 24-hour parking monitoring, ensure your dash cam is connected to a continuous power source via a hardwire kit (sold separately). The dash cam will then automatically detect impacts or record time-lapse footage while parked.

• Using the AZDOME App

  The AZDOME App provides a user-friendly interface for managing your dash cam. You can:

  • View live video feed from the dash cam.
  • Playback recorded videos directly on your phone.
  • Download video files to your phone's gallery.
  • Adjust dash cam settings (e.g., video resolution, loop recording duration, G-sensor sensitivity).

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam:

• Clean the Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the camera lens to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials.
• Keep Away from Extreme Temperatures: While the super capacitor offers good temperature resistance, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold can still affect performance.
• Secure Mounting: Periodically check that the dash cam is securely mounted to prevent vibrations from affecting video quality or causing the device to fall.
• Firmware Updates: Check the AZDOME official website or app for any available firmware updates to improve performance and add new features.
