AZDOME - M550

I talked to another CRV owner over the weekend and her new CRV had a factory installed dashcam. Ive had a Azdome M550 for a few years now on my 23 CRV Sport and it has worked great for us.

In my 2019 I installed an AZDOME M550 using a Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (16-pin Type A) for Ford Vehicles. Basically a 6” jumper that plugs into the back of the mirror, it powers up when remote started, no power when vehicle is off so lacks the motion/shock sensors. I only run the forward and cab facing cameras, the bumper cam would require a full wiring install. As is I was installed and recording in under 5 minutes for $140. Quick release mount with great optics and sound.

I’m not op. But Ive got one I really like. It’s front, back and removable interior cameras. I added my own sd card, instead of the 64g it gives you. And I love that it automatically starts and records the second I turn on the car without me having to do any extra steps. Allegedly it can record when I’m parked, but I haven’t turned that on. I’ve tried 6 at this point and it’s by far my favorite. [camera](https://a.co/d/blboqwU)

AZDOME m550. Sorry, I linked it, but maybe I didn’t do it right.

I have an Azdome M550 dashcam in my 2017 Passat. It has 3 cameras and I hardwired it in. It has 24 hours parking mode in case something happens while you're away. It's 3 channel but I only use the front and rear cameras. Azdome sells a hardwiring kit. That's what I used to get it all set up. Took me about 2 hours total to get the wires run and connected to the fuse box. Some fuse box connections allow for power use while the car is off. A detailed diagram of the fuse box will show you which ones do.

Tbh dashcam is as good as having non at all. Some friends i know have low and mid tier dash and it just works for whats intended. As for apps for any dashcam they all seem to be inefficiently not great. I ended up getting an iphone sd card reader to able to view videos from my phone when i ever need it on fhe go. Viofo is probably the most popular of them all. I have a azdome m550 decent enough and mainly because it was on sale. Still works great.
