AZDOME - M550 Pro 2CH

Azdome on amazon. I'd recommend buying the hardwire kit and watch a youtube vid on how to fit it, it's easy 15 minute j0b

I've used azdome cams off amazon that cost under £100 for a 2 channel cam with a hardwire kit. Records in 1080p and was a very good cam with easy to use app. Nowadays, i use a nextbase 380gwx that came already installed when I bought my current car. These cams cost £380 and I'd say the picture quality is no better than the azdome one. So I'd recommend azdome all day long as the quality is just as good as more expensive cams for a fraction of the price.

I've used azdome and gku d600 cameras. Both are budget cams, 4k, easy to use app. No night vision. Although the night vision should be enough to establish blame in an accident. I think you'll struggle to find a budget cam with good night vision.

I had a vantru n5 that I didn’t care for.. very complicated ui. I returned it and got the AZDOME m550 pro. Has front and back plus cabin. I used the mirror wire kit from Amazon, but i don’t think it cuts power when the car turns off so it isn’t going into park mode. Otherwise it does all I want.. I haven’t run the back camera yet.

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

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.

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

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 use an AZDOME because it’s attached to the windshield via a magnet, so I snap it off easily and put it in my center console or take it with me when I’m away from the car.

The magnetic charging base is attached to the windshield with 3m, and the camera snaps on and off of it as needed.

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.
