GPS and Route Tracking

The integrated GPS module records precise driving data, which can be viewed alongside your video footage.

• Data Recorded: Driving route, speed (MPH/KMH), altitude, and exact GPS coordinates.
• Viewing Data: This information is embedded directly into the video files and can be accessed using the AZDOME app or a compatible GPS player software on a computer.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Lenses: Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials.
• Memory Card Management:
  • Format the memory card monthly to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
  • Replace the memory card every 6-12 months, depending on usage, as memory cards have a limited lifespan for continuous writing.

• Temperature Considerations: Avoid exposing the dash cam to extreme temperatures for extended periods. If parked in direct sunlight, consider removing the dash cam or using a sunshade.
