AZDOME M300S 4K Dash Cam with 5.8G WiFi 64GB SD Card, 170° Dash Cam Front and Rear GPS Voice Control WDR Night Vision G-Sensor 24H Parking Monitor, Easy to Install, Max Up Support to 256GB

I was really dreading the installation process but it was a piece of cake. The included plastic spudger tool was very helpful in routing the cables under the interior trim and rubber seals. My vehicle is one of the shorter SUVs on the market so I had about 6 feet of extra cable left over that I simply double routed under the interior trim. Video quality is excellent and the software was easy to set up as well as to use. The only hiccup I ran into was the rear camera wasn't detected at first. I plugged/unplugged it a couple times without success before I realized that it took quite a bit more force to seat the barrel jack into its socket. Once it was seated properly everything worked just great. Connecting your phone to the camera via WiFi is quick and easy and you have control of all the camera's features from the app. This camera also supports picture-in-a-picture (PIP) mode so that you can have the front and rear cameras recording at the same time. It also allows you to pick which camera will have the larger view in PIP mode. Voice control and voice prompts work very well. All the usual info gets overlaid on the recording such as the date/time stamp and GPS coordinates. You also have the option of selecting several recording resolutions but I left mine set to 4K. A nice touch was the inclusion of extra mounts in the box in case you want to move the cameras between two cars.I was initially tempted to purchase the Garmin Mini 2 until I found out that it doesn't come with a rear camera nor oddly a GPS, something which Garmin should have included since GPS receivers are their main products. The Garmin also requires a subscription and only does 1080p video. For the Garmin, you have to purchase the rearview camera separately AND purchase an SD card which increases the price significantly as well. The AZDOME unit shipped with a 64GB SD card pre-installed.This dashcam is the biggest bang for your buck that you'll find. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and recommend this unit to anyone who wants/needs front and rear view monitoring.

The M300S dashcam is small n very compact but is a powerhouse and performs flawlessly. I loved it's 4k HD video quality and its smooth recording capabities. Dashcam comes complete with power cables, rear camera and mounting accessories and is very easy to install in any vehicle.I purchased it for it's ability to document vehicle driving movement history and to also protect my vehicle overnight if someone hits or shakes the vehicle while parked.Nothing not to like with this cam since this product out performs a majority of others in its class in both price and quality and even other higher priced models.Mr. Sun from Azdome responded right away to several questions I had about programming and helped me resolve all my customer support inquiries.I want to congratulate Azdome for putting out the M300S 4K Ultra HD, definitely a WINNER👍Steve Hndz

Updated review 2025-05-23I installed this dash cam two years ago and while I wasn't happy about some of its functionality like WiFi always being on, the app and the camera have improved since then. This is a perfect camera for a discreet installation. No one seems to notice it as it has no screen and is mounted on my windshield behind my mirror. The rear camera is a nice addition. While the camera is sold as a 4K (3840 x 2160) camera, it's not really. The sensor for the front has a maximum resolution of 4MP (2560 x 1440). The video is upscaled, which doesn't really add anything. Set the camera to record at 4MP (2560 x 1440) for the front and 1080p (1920 x 1024) for the rear which is what the sensors can really "see." At 4MP you can still make out details and the card can hold more storage. With a 256GB Samsung Endurance card it can hold days to weeks of video, depending on how many hours it's on.It's been working reliably in my car in a variety of weather extremes (up to 115 degrees F outside) without any issues. I wish they made a true 4K version of camera like this with no screen for similar discreet install. It's helped solve so many disputes and documented not just traffic incidents, but certain roadside scams. Leave the engine running so the camera keeps recording. There's a newer version of this camera under a different listing. I can highly recommend it. I'd recommended it more if it were true 4K and the WiFi could be left off until needed.My previous issues with the WiFi being on were twofold:1. My phone would automatically connect, then disconnect as there was no connection, making it difficult to view video. This has been solved with newer OS versions that allow you to leave the connection going even though there's no internet access via this WiFI.2. Older versions of the app would want to set up a VPN to get around this. The problem here is you don't know where it's routing things through. Also, if you have metered data, it would fool your phone into thinking it's on free WiFi and run up your data bill.Having the option to leave the WiFi off and turn it on via a button press would still be preferred as I don't want to drive around with my camera announcing itself as an access point, the two major issues above have been resolved.Lastly this camera, like most others, has a "protected video" feature. When the camera senses unusual G-forces due to braking, turning, accelerating, or an actual collision, those videos go into a protected folder of the SD card. They will not be automatically deleted. They also can't be deleted via the app. The only way to do this is to either format the card via the app. Or to pull the card, put it into your computer and delete those files. This should be done every so often as the card can fill up with protected videos that you really don't need.Review as of 2023-04-26First the good. This a great two camera kit that's pretty much complete with cables, tool, clips, extra adhesive pads, extra mount and a 64GB micro SD card. The only other money to be spent would be for the hard-wiring kit, which is required for parking mode. Add about $20 to the total price for that.I had such high hopes for this camera as it checked off almost all the boxes I was looking for: GPS, Super Capacitor, WiFi, QHD or better. Only thing lacking is a third camera for the cabin.However, the app and this product's firmware need some attention. I don't need to have the WiFi on continuously and would rather the firmware had an option to leave the WiFi off unless turned on via button press. This is something 70 Mai's cameras have. On my 70 Mai camera, I'd push the button to turn on the WiFi, when I needed to connect to the camera for images and video. But that camera would default to WiFi off every time the car started per the setting in the app. I could have just as easily set it to come on by default.I don't understand why AZ Dome can't do the same. It's possible to toggle the WiFi by holding down the button for 3 seconds, but there's no way to leave it off until you want it on. Every time the car is started and the camera gets power, the WiFi is turned back on.The app is unreliable even when the phone is connected to the camera's WiFi network. The app will say it's not connected and send you back into your phone's settings, where you'll see that you are indeed connected to the camera's WiFi network. The only fix is to disconnect and reconnect to the same network. This is happens when you get back into the car and start it up. The phone connects to the camera's network, likely the only WiFi network you've got saved when away from home. But the app will insist you're not connected to the network and make you disconnect and reconnect to the same SSID. Hopefully an update will fix this soon.The other problems is the app wanting so many permissions it doesn't need. And it will continue to harass you every time it starts up to enable Location permissions continuously. I don't see why it needs to run in the background continuously track your location, even when I'm out of my car. Or why does it need location permissions when the app isn't being used?For the price, it's an adequate kit. But there are some rough spots I'm hoping the AZDOME can smooth up via future app and firmware updates.
