Using AZDOME Dash Cam

The camera is designed to power up and record automatically when it receives power. Then saves the video record and turns off automatically when the car shuts off.

1. Auto Power ON/OFF:
   ①Plug car charger to cigarette lighter socket.
   ②When the car engine is on, dash cam will turn ON and start recording automatically.
   When the car key is turned to LOCK position, Dash Cam automatically saves the recording and turns OFF.

2. Manual Power ON/OF
   Manually Turn ON: Press the power button once.
   Manually Turn OFF: Press and hold the power button for at least 2 seconds.

Note:

1. Do not remove or insert Cabin camera/Rear camera when the camera is powered on which may damage the To improve stability, the dashcam reboots automatically once if  it  detects  that  there  are different cameras connected.
2. Please ALWAYS connect with power when As it is built in Super Capacitor (Only has a 1mAh Lithium Metal Battery used to memorize time).
3. Some trucks/cars’ 12V cigarette outlet is always HOT, which means it provides constant power even when the car is turned off and If this is the case for your vehicle, then the auto ON/OFF feature will not work. And if you leave the camera continuously recording when the car is turned off, then it will drain your car/truck’s battery and you might not have enough power to start your car for next time. To Remedy this situation, you can do one of the two options:
   ①Hardwire your dash cam to your car’s fuse box with AZDOME 3-Lead Auto Trigger Hardwire Kit.
   ②Change the connection in the fuse box for  your  12V  outlet  to  socket which only supplies power when car key is turned to ACC or ON position
