Getting Started

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:
   Plug car charger to cigarette lighter socket. When 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/OFF

3. Some trucks/cars’s 12V cigarette outlet is always HOT, which means it provides constant power even when the car is turned off and locked. 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:

What is a WiFi Feature?
The WiFi feature has been designed so you can pair your dash camera wirelessly with your smartphone and access your recording instantly from the dash cam. Here you can view, download and share your videos easily with your friends and family. Just like how you would connect your Bluetooth speaker to your smartphone for wireless music play, the same way dash cameras use WiFi signal (instead of a Bluetooth) to pair your smartphone with AZDOME M301.

Can I watch the videos around my car remotely?
NO. AZDOME M301 dash cam is NOT made to broadcast footage over the cloud or internet. It is NOT a cloud or an IP camera and it is NOT meant to do that. You can get live video and footage on AZDOME dash cam’s APP as long as you stay within the 10FT range from the dashcam.

What is the WiFi Range?
The WiFi signal range is about 10FT when there are NO obstructions in the middle. Please NOTE that just like your home WiFi network, you don’t have WiFi signal outside your home, the same way, WiFi range is 10FT from this small device.

For Android phones:

There is one extra step you will have to take for the first time.

Which is fine. Wait about 10-15 seconds until you see the below pop up or notification. You just have to tap on the pop up notification that will show up in few seconds to select that you still want to stay connected even though there is NO Internet. Once you select this OK, you are set to go.

For iPhone:

If you get this pop up for your iPhone while using WiFi feature, make sure to tap on ‘Keep Trying WiFi’. Otherwise the camera will get disconnected from the WiFi and then you will have to forget the AZDOME WiFi and then start to pair again to make it work again.
