4.3 Inserting the SD Card
Insert the included 64GB SD card into the dash cam's SD card slot until it clicks. Ensure the card is inserted correctly with the contacts facing the camera's screen. It is recommended to format the SD card within the dash cam settings before first use.
4.4 Rear Camera Installation

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
- Automatic Power On/Off: The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to power and your vehicle starts. It will power off automatically when the vehicle is turned off.
- Manual Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds to manually turn the dash cam on or off.
5.2 Recording Modes
- Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked files are overwritten automatically.
- G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording.
5.3 Wi-Fi Connection and App Usage
The AZDOME M63H features built-in Wi-Fi for easy connection to your smartphone via the AZDOME app. This allows for live view, video playback, settings adjustment, and file download.
- Download the "AZDOME" app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- On the dash cam, enable Wi-Fi from the settings menu.
- On your smartphone, go to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the AZDOME dash cam's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "M63"). The default password is 12345678.

5.5 Parking Monitor
The parking monitor feature provides surveillance when your vehicle is parked. If the dash cam detects a collision or motion (depending on settings), it will automatically start recording. For 24-hour parking monitoring, a hardwire kit (sold separately, e.g., B09LVD8XF9) is required to provide continuous power to the dash cam.
5.6 Playback and File Management
Videos can be played back directly on the dash cam's screen, or by connecting the SD card to a computer, or through the AZDOME smartphone app. Files are organized into normal, locked (emergency), and parking mode folders. Regularly back up important footage and format the SD card to ensure optimal recording performance.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- SD Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the SD card every 2-4 weeks to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth operation. This can be done through the dash cam's settings menu.
- Firmware Updates: Check the official AZDOME website periodically for firmware updates. Keeping your dash cam's firmware up-to-date can improve performance and add new features.
- Temperature: While the dash cam is designed for extreme temperatures, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in very hot conditions when parked, if possible.
