M1 Dash Cam Hack 1.0.3 + Redeem Codes

Excellent quality and easy to use and down load. I have one for each car. Only problem is one of them will not turn on with the smart cord. I have to have to plug it into the USB port to get it to turn on and work. The radar detector works fine through that cord. Any one else have that problem?

This application is absolutely without a doubt the most WORTHLESS app I have on my iPhone. I have read where ESCORT has blamed it on the phone carrier being T-Mobile and that would not apply to me since my carrier is AT&T which happens to be the second largest network in operation in the US. I would have to honestly say that I am connected to the camera no more than 20% of the time. The additional 80%, It gives me a network error in which I go through the same motions every time of closing the app, switching off the radar camera and bringing them both back up again only to find that at best, 50% of the time it will reconnect. The reconnection is short-lived and it may be 2 to 3 minutes before it shuts off and I get the error message again. Location is not a thing because there are times that it will connect in the morning and then during the evening commute home that same area will not give me a connection. I will be writing a follow-up review after contacting customer service which I hope will not be in vain as so many have previously reported.
Again, as this app stands presently, this app is a waste of time to even download. All that it leads to is constant frustration.

Very nice addition to my escort max 360c, the image quality is fair and the functionality of the unit seems to be everything I expected. However, the one gripe I have about it in the few days I’ve been using the product, the mount bracket. I wish that the mount bracket for it had been integrated into the actual radar detector to keep the quick disconnect functionality of the magnetic bracket. Instead the unit attaches to the bracket bolt itself and therefore must be unplugged from the detector and disconnected separately from the bracket every time you exit the vehicle, otherwise the entire bracket has to be removed from the windshield to prevent theft. Other than that nice unit.

Do not bother buying the M1 dash cam until this app is updated. I bought the dash cam and was extremely excited, however after I got it installed and I opened the app I was in utter disbelief. The app looks like it is stuck in 2009 based off the look. And the functionality isn’t any better. The user interface is absolutely horrible and the app’s connection to the device itself is incredibly poor. It honestly boggles my mind that this company even launched the product with such an embarrassing app to go along with the camera. This product has been out for over a year I believe and they have not pushed a SINGLE update to the app or the dash camera. The fact that this company has such a blatant disregard to its customers concerns is despicable. I can tell you that I will NEVER buy another product from escort EVER.

I’m getting the same problem as every other person on here, i.e. won’t load the live feed. I contacted customer support and they tried telling me it’s because my phone is connected to T-Mobile and they’re trying to fix it as soon as possible. What kind of pathetic freaking excuse is that? How does my carrier have anything to do with why my dash camera that has nothing to do with T-Mobile or a cell phone network make it so it won’t load a live feed? Furthermore, it’s worth noting they haven’t put out a single update for the camera since the launch of it 6 months ago. I’m sure they’re trying to fix it as quickly as possible thanks for letting me throw $200 down the drain without even telling me this problem could effect me 👏👌🏻

When things work it’s “ok”. Nothing stellar. Like the title said, it’s hard to tell if the glitches are on the camera side or app side. But the app is taking the fall for shortcomings in this case.

Some of the pros:
-It’s nice to pull footage without removing device
-it’s nice to change settings on the fly

Cons:
-constantly disconnecting or has some sort of failure
-can’t delete footage that was automatically tagged by the G sensor
-no way to back out from video edit mode. Close app and start over
-video downloads are ridiculously slow, even when things are not disconnecting/crashing/failing
-no real explanation on some settings (for example G-shock sensor levels are 1-4. Is 1 the highest or the lowest?)

I really do have big hopes for escort. They are about the only American dash electronics company. But so far things haven’t changed much. Mediocre products for premium prices. It would be nice if they switched that around the other way.

After reading all the negative reviews, tbh I was initially turned off. I’ve owned a few Escort devices through out the years and I think they have all been high quality products. I’m glad I went ahead and purchased the dash cam anyway. The app needs a little polishing for sure, but overall it works great. Just make sure to connect to the dash cam’s WiFi network first before opening the app.

The only way I have gotten the live video to work and to access files on the camera directly to the app is to put your phone in Airplane Mode, turn Wi-Fi on, then make sure Escort M1 is connected. Then bam it should all be there.

I think there is too much Bluetooth interference with my escort live app and other things. By turning off all interference the app fires the live feed right up.

Apparently the app doesn't work with T-Mobile iPhones without turning off cell data for the M1 app because T-Mobile is on an IPv6 network. This apparently affects their app somehow.

Turning off cell data in your iPhone settings for the M1 app fixes the problem.

The app itself could use a facelift, not a big fan of the UI but it does what it says it does.

If you’re going to charge $200 for a dash cam that can only be controlled from an app, then that app better be great. The M1 app is quite the opposite.
-cannot see what the camera is seeing so you have no idea if you’re mounting it properly. The screen just keeps spinning with no end. This also means that you cannot live stream.
-so you decide to just record a few seconds and then go back to check the footage to see if you placed the camera properly. But NOPE... the app won’t let you check the files or see any recordings. It just gives you an error message.

***So you cannot see what the camera lens sees and you cannot review the footage it does capture.***

I really hope there will be an update within my return window because I had high hopes for this camera and it has done nothing but fail me so far.
