“Retro Checkpoint: AZDOME’s Double Vision – A Close Look at their Front and Rear Dash Cam”

AZDOME Front and Rear Dash Cam: A Comprehensive Review

The AZDOME front and rear dash cam combines a powerful 4K + 1080p dual camera setup with a wide array of additional features, promising a whole new level of in-car recording convenience and performance. We took the time to put this product to the test in various scenarios to discover its strengths and potential shortcomings.

Build and Design

The AZDOME dash cam, remarkably compact with dimensions measuring 3.8×1.7×1.4 inches, features an inconspicuous design ensuring minimal obstruction to your driving view. The package includes all necessary set-up materials, providing an incredibly easy installation process even for first-time users. The camera lens is designed for easy adjustments, meeting your on-the-go recording requirements. It also includes an extra mounting base which allows users to move the camera back and forth without hassle.

Operation and Performance

Outfitted with the Novatek NT96670 Processor & the GC2053 Ultra-low light capture Sensor, this dash cam offers superior video quality, capturing street signs, license plates and other crucial details with clarity. While the 4K resolution indeed stands out, some users may find it inadequate for capturing numbers on moving license plates clearly. However, its night vision and WDR technology work harmoniously to deliver clear images even in over-bright or over-dark areas.

Feature-Rich

The AZDOME dashcam excels in its suite of features which includes dual-band 5GHz & 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, GPS, and voice commands to provide more convenient and safer trips. Yet, somewhat disappointingly, the Wi-Fi is permanently on when the car starts, with no option to disable it until required. This could potentially lead to additional power consumption.

Parking Mode and Rear Camera

The 24-hour parking mode converts your AZDOME dashcam into a vigilant guardian while your vehicle is parked. The camera records continuously with low power consumption and is triggered by any impact or collision. One drawback, however, is that it requires a Micro USB hardwire kit, which is not included in the package. Moreover, the rear camera was reported to have issues by a couple of our testers, although AZDOME’s customer service appears responsive and committed to resolving such problems promptly.

App Connectivity

The convenience of this dash cam also extends to your smartphone with the AZDOME companion app. Although praised for its user-friendly interface and nice customization options, some users found the app’s constant request for location permissions to be intrusive. Furthermore, the app’s connectivity seemed to be an issue, often insisting on a disconnect and reconnect to the camera’s WiFi network.

After-Sales Service

Adding to the appeal of the AZDOME Front and Rear Dash Cam is the committed after-sales service, providing a one-year warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee. Their customer service effectively addresses product concerns, frequently responding to problem resolution requests in a satisfying manner.

As a final verdict, the AZDOME Front and Rear Dash Cam offers impressive features and performance for its mid-range price point. While it has a few quirks, its pros decidedly outweigh the cons. It may not be perfect, but it is a worthy contender in the dash cam market.
