- "Take a picture"

4.4 G-Sensor and 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. This ensures critical footage is preserved.
4.5 Parking Monitor
The Parking Monitor feature provides surveillance when your vehicle is parked. If an impact is detected while parked, the dash cam will automatically activate and record a short video. For 24-hour parking monitoring, the dash cam must be connected to a continuous power source via a hardwire kit (sold separately).
4.6 Loop Recording
The dash cam records video in continuous loops. When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be automatically overwritten to make space for new recordings. Locked emergency videos are protected from being overwritten.
4.7 Night Vision and WDR
Equipped with advanced Night Vision and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, the M300S captures clear and detailed video footage even in low-light conditions or challenging lighting environments, such as tunnels or bright glare.

5. Maintenance
5.1 SD Card Formatting
To maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption, it is recommended to reformat the Micro SD card monthly using the dash cam's settings. This clears all data and prepares the card for continued use.
5.2 Cleaning the Lenses
Regularly clean the front and rear camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners that could damage the lens coating.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your AZDOME M300S dash cam.
| Issue | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Cannot connect to WiFi / App | Ensure your phone's mobile data is turned off when connecting to the dash cam's WiFi. Reinstall the app if necessary. Ensure you are within 2 meters of the device. |
| Dash cam not turning on / recording | Check power connection. Ensure the car charger is properly plugged into both the vehicle's outlet and the dash cam. The dash cam requires continuous external power to operate (it has a super capacitor for time memory, not a large battery). |
| SD card error / Recording stops | Format the SD card within the dash cam settings. Ensure you are using a Class 10 or U3 above Micro SD card. Replace the SD card if the issue persists. |
| Parking Monitor drains car battery | The Parking Monitor feature requires a hardwire kit (sold separately) for continuous power. If your vehicle is parked for extended periods without driving, the hardwire kit may draw power. Consider disconnecting the dash cam or the hardwire kit if not driving for several days. |
| Voice commands not working | Ensure you are speaking clearly and loudly. Only English commands are supported. Check for firmware updates that might improve voice recognition. |
