AZDOME - M550

I have this in three cars, and has already paid for itself in savings from a false claim.

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 heard in case of an accident you can contact SOA and they can download the video from eyesight but it’s problematic and all should contact them weird out other things, I’m not sure research the thread you’ll find those entries. I found a [wonderful dash cam](https://a.co/d/0hSjfNp) I have it in all my vehicles (three). It used to be about $200 but recently on Amazon it is under $100. It installs easily, you can get fuse box kits and has plenty of wiring to install, it’s easy to install. Best of all, you can pop it off the moont and throw it in your glove box so it’s not even really visible. Quit trying to figure out how to use iSight, it’s not that possible. I lost a brand new Pontiac Grand Prix because I had no dash cam and the highway patrol was basically corrupt because it was a city bus that hit me on a state highway. I had five witnesses that saw the green light, the bus ran a red light and I T-bone it. And I had the dash cam I could’ve sued them and had the car replaced, but no lawyer would take the case.

Viofo isn't actually bad, it is possible you got a dud because I'm still on the same one for 5 years. Another good option is AZDOME M550

I have the Azdome M550 Max for my xc90, and it works amazing! Don't know much about technical details, but I bought an extra product from them that enables 24/7 recording even when the car is turned off using extreme low voltage current from the battery. If you're not good at wiring management or know electrical engineering kinda stuff, get the wiring done by a local shop and they'll do it for minimal charges. It definitely helped me to identify on my Honda who scratched it at night because we have to park in public spaces and turns out it was a kid riding a bike too close to my other car. Works for all Volvos though. The whole camera set https://a.co/d/enRhgq8 The leads that enable 24/7 recording https://a.co/d/fC4joEm

I upgraded my battery to a 48 AGM from interstate and I’ve ran my AZDOME M550 Dashcam outside for a week before starting it and it started right up. My old Mazda battery had no issues either but I kept it on a trickle charger every night (since I normally park in my garage).

If you’re leaving your car over winter then I’d get a trickle charger or prematurely replace the battery, these new 35 group Mazda batteries SUCK. The M550 has a parking mode that uses very low battery when the cars off aswell so, options

Got an AZDOME M580 in my fusion and put an M550 in my s550. Works well, tucked up behind the rear view, plugged into OBDII port.

Swearing by Azdome 550Max. Eto gamit ko sa car namin. 🩷 6K lang tapos 3 way na sya. Front, inside, & rear. 😊

4k azdome with kit.

I have the Azdome it’s $50-$80 on eBay and does the job. I wouldn’t trust it to read a plate in the dark at 50m away but for the price it’s very good front and rear camera.
