3.4 MicroSD Card Installation
- Insert a high-speed (Class 10 or higher) microSD card (up to 128GB, not included) into the designated slot on the dash camera. Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place.
- Format the microSD card within the dash camera's settings menu before first use to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
4. Operation
4.1 Power On/Off
- The dash camera will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to the car's power supply and the vehicle is started.
- It will automatically power off when the car's engine is turned off and the power supply is disconnected.
- To manually power on/off, press and hold the power button.
4.2 Loop Recording
The dash camera records video in continuous loops. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.

4.3 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. These files are stored in a separate folder on the microSD card.

4.4 Parking Mode (24-Hour Monitoring)
To enable 24-hour parking mode, a hardwire kit (not included, search ASIN: B0B9M9JL327 for a compatible 3-lead hardwire kit with 1.5A output current) is required. When properly installed, the dash camera can monitor your vehicle even when parked.
- Collision Detection Parking Mode: The G-sensor triggers recording and locks the clip if an impact is detected while parked.
- Time-Lapse Parking Mode: Continuously records at 1 frame per second (1fps) to save storage space while providing a comprehensive overview of parking activity.
- Low Voltage Protection: Automatically cuts off power to prevent draining your car battery if the voltage drops below a set threshold.

4.5 Night Vision
The dash camera features IR night vision to enhance clarity in low-light conditions. The interior cabin camera utilizes infrared lights for improved visibility, switching to black-and-white mode for clearer footage when necessary. The f/1.8 aperture and 6-glass lens also contribute to superior low-light performance for both front and interior cameras.

4.6 Wide Field of View
The AZDOME V600 features a 150° wide-angle front lens and a 150° wide-angle cabin lens, providing extensive coverage of both the road and the vehicle's interior. This wide field of view helps reduce blind spots and captures more details.
