3. Turn off the car engine.
4. Stick the magnetic bracket together with the camera onto your windshield.

6. Plug the cabin camera and rear camera, and adjust the dashcam to keep the lens level with the ground.
7. Start the engine to check if the dash cam works properly.

NOTE
The front+ cabin+ rear camera will record simultaneously and videos are stored separately on the Micro SD card.

8. Installing the Rear Camera vehicle

Here are three examples of where to guide rear camera’s wire

1. Select a flat and central place near the number plate lamp at the rear of the vehicle to mount the camera.

2. Attach tape to the bracket of the camera to hold the camera in position while installing, and drill two small holes, one for the first screw, and the second to run the reverse camera cable through

3. Use a screwdriver to fix the first screw, leaving the screw loose enough to adjust the camera.

4. Insert the camera wire through the intended drilled hole, checking the installation position.

5. Mark the place that is suitable for the second screw and drill a small hole for it.

6. Fix the second screw and securely tighten both screws.

7. After the installation is completed, connect the rear plug to the rear camera interface of the recorder, and connect the red reverse line on the extension line of the rear camera to the positive pole on the reverse light.

8. Adjust the lens position to ensure that the lens is level with the ground.

USING YOUR DASH-CAM

AUTO POWER ON/OFF

CONNECT THE CAR CHARGER AND DASHCAM

• @Plug the other end of the car charger into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.
• @When the car engine is on, the dashcam will turn ON and start recording automatically.
• When the car key is turned to the LOCK position, Dash Cam automatically saves the recording and turns OFF within a few seconds.

NOTE
Some trucks/cars’ 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.

• Hardwire your dashcam to your car’s fuse box with AZ DOME’S 3-Lead Auto Trigger Hardwire Kit.
• Change the connection in the fuse box for your 12V outlet to the socket which only supplies power when the car key is turned to ACC or ON position.

USING WIFI FEATURE

NOTE
 You can only browse the map with a GPS track after you download the video to your phone.

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 dashcam. Here you can view, download and share your videos easily with your friends and family.

WHAT IS THE WIFI RANGE?

The Wi-Fi signal range is about l0FT when there are NO obstructions in the middle. Please NOTE that just like your home WIFI network, you can’t have a WIFI signal outside your home, in the same way, the WIFI range is l 0FT from this small device.

CAN I WATCH THE VIDEOS OR SURVEILLANCE AROUND MY CAR REMOTELY?

AZDOME M550 dashcam 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 AZ DOME M550’s s APP as long as you stay within the l0FT range from the dashcam.
