FAQ

Q1:Why the rear cam image is converse on the screen?
According to your habit, please use the function called “Backup Cam Mirror Image” .

Q2:Poor image quality of rear cam
The most likely cause is simply a dirty lens. Since many cameras are mounted low on the back of the car, they’re subject to being obscured by mud, snow, dirt, or other debris. Luckily, the fix is easy: Clean the lens with a soft cloth (to prevent scratching the lens).
If still doesn’t work, please e-mail service@azdome.hk with the order number.
Q3:Dash cam will be warm
Yep! A dashcam of this caliber is a pretty high-tech piece of equipment. When you think about it from an engineering perspective, capturing high- quality full HD video takes a large amount of computer processing power. Heat is the by-product of all that data processing that is going on.
But not to worry. The case of the Dashcam itself is actually used as a heat- sink (notice the nice vents you see along the top and bottom of these models), so that’s why you may notice it is warm or hot to the touch. Don’t worry, this is normal, and your AZDOME is operating as designed.
Q4:My Video playback on PC is lagging.
You are viewing a high-bit rate version of video files. General computer configuration may have problems with faster data processing. Please record videos at a lower resolution and try again. Contact us if the problem still exists.
Q5:Why dashcam can’t get the GPS signal?

1. Check if the GPS icon goes green (it will take 3-5minutes to get GPS signal successfully)
2. Depending on the vehicle and the location of the GPS signal can be blocked due to strong radio interference of other electronic devices in the car, the cloudy/rainy weather or mountains, tunnels, tall buildings on both sides of the road, etc.
3. Please check if GPS works by taking the GPS Module from the car to the outside. If it works then there must be a heavy interference in the car, for example, thick car Explosion-proof
