Q: Escort M1 dash camera is experiencing problems when connecting to my mobile device via Wi-fi

A:  Upon further investigation, it has been discovered that the issue can be attributed to a T-Mobile internet protocol update.  The carrier recently switched from IPv4 to IPv6, resulting in connectivity issues for many T-Mobile subscribers who use their phone to connect to IP based devices.  This issue is not only affecting Escort M1 users but many other device users, as well.

We continue to explore the issue so that we may offer resolution as quickly as possible.  In the meantime, you should be able to successfully connect to your camera by setting your mobile device to airplane mode. Please note that your M1 camera continues to operate and record video which can be viewed via computer. 

We will provide updates as they become available.

A: Please follow the steps listed:

Make sure that WiFi is turned on in your smartphone and in the dash camera. If the dash cam is blinking green or has a solid green light the WiFi is on. If the dash cam is blinking red, that means the WiFi is turned off. Press the WiFi button on the top of the M1 to restore WiFi.Once the WiFi is confirmed on in both the smartphone and dash cam, open the Escort M1 app and click on the WiFi symbol to open up the WiFi menu.Click on “Escort M1” and enter the default password “12345678” to connect.

Live view of the camera should be visible within the app.

Q: The M1 is not showing any LED indicator lights, how can I fix this?

A: Please follow the following steps to troubleshoot.

If there are no LED indicator lights showing on the M1, first check the 12v power source and confirm a stable connection from the SmartCord to the M1 camera.Once you have confirmed that the power source connection to M1 is OK, check to see if the radar detector is turned on. Please ensure that the RJ-11 power cable from the M1 to the radar detector is connected properly.If the radar detector powers on but the M1 does not, hold down the power button on the M1 to restart the camera. LED lights should now illuminate and camera should start recording automatically.If both the M1 and radar detector are still not being powered on after checking all cables are connected properly, it is likely that the 12v power source is not active. Please try using the SmartCord in a different 12v accessory socket.

Q: Does the dash cam record audio?

A: Yes, the dash cam has a microphone to record audio. If you would prefer to not have the audio recorded, go to the settings menu in the Escort M1 app and mute the audio from there.

Q: How does the G-Sensor work?

A: The G-Sensor inside the dash cam detects whenever there is an impact and automatically locks the current video file as an emergency recording so that it is not looped over. When G-sensor is triggered, you will see RED and GREEN LED flashing. Please note that you can manually lock the current video file by pressing the power button during recording.

Q: What is loop recording?

A: Loop recording is a typical recording mode for dash cameras where the camera continually saves video (usually 1, 3, or 5-minute segments) to the microSD card. Once the memory is full, it then goes back to the oldest file and records over that file and continues looping so that the most recent video will be saved on the microSD card. Loop clips can be protected either by the G-Sensor automatically saving whenever there is an impact or by manually pressing the power button to ensure that the clip is not looped over.

Q: How do I get the video off the dash camera?

A: There are a few ways to get dash cam footage off the dash camera.

Connect the dash cam to the Escort M1 app and download directly to your smartphone.Plug the dash cam into your computer with the included microUSB cable and download directly to your computer.Pull the microSD card from the dash cam and connect that directly to your computer to download on your computer.

A: Up to 32 GB

(For tech-savvy only: larger than 32GB cards can be used if formatted with FAT32)

Q: What is the kind of microSD card I can use with the Escort M1?

A: Class 10” High Endurance cards or better;

Due to constant video recording, we recommend “Class 10” High Endurance cards or better from reputable brands (examples: SanDisk, Western Digital)

16GB cards are included with the M1

Importantly: This should more than enough space due to the cameras use of Continuous Loop Recording (for details about this, see below).

What Is Continuous Loop Recording? 

Footage is stored in 1, 2, 3 or 5-minute clips. When the memory card fills up, the camera automatically overwrites the oldest clips replacing them with new ones. If you do not want a clip to be overwritten, press the Emergency Recording button (hold emergency record button on M1) and the clip will be protected. Emergency Recordings are also automatically protected if an impact is detected. The stock 16GB card will hold 160 one-minute emergency recordings.

A: If you do not wish for your smartphone to connect to the Escort M1 automatically, go to the settings menu and make sure to turn off the auto reconnect. You can also manually check “Forget network” to disable M1 from active WiFi network, then when you are ready to connect to M1 again, simply click on M1 from your WiFi list.

Q: Why does my Android smartphone lose its 4G data connection when connected to M1 via WiFi?

A: When you connect your Android smartphone to the M1 dash cam it creates a direct WiFi connection between the two devices. When this happens the Android device loses its other network connections. To resume other network connections, go to the WiFi network settings in the Android device and disconnect direct WiFi connection between the Android device and the M1 dash cam.

Q: As soon as the M1 is disconnected from a power source it turns off right away. Does M1 contain any battery inside?

A: No, the M1 does not have an internal battery to power the dash camera. The M1 is equipped with a super capacitor which allows for enough power to shut down and save the current video file safely once the power source is removed. Super capacitors are a much more reliable source over batteries when you consider the extreme heat and cold that the inside of a vehicle can experience.

Q: Do you have a video viewer program for Windows and Mac?

A: We do not have a specific video viewer program for Windows or Mac, but the video files are saved as .MOV and can be played back on most native video players.

Q: How do you reset the password for WiFi?

A: The default Wi-Fi password is 12345678.  You can update the password by connecting to the M1 with the app, entering Settings, and selecting Camera Wi-Fi Settings.
