The M1 Dash Cam app is used to view and manage settings and recorded video on your M1 camera from a mobile device.




The M1 Dash Cam app has been permanently discontinued as of September 2025.  


What this means:
  • The app is no longer available to install from your phone's app store. 
  • If already installed, the app may no longer connect to the camera or function as previously expected, and we are unable to offer support in this event. 
  • Your M1 camera will still function as configured, but without use of the app.  
  • You may continue to access recorded video by connecting the camera to a computer or other device via USB cable, or by removing the micro SD card from the camera and inserting into a micro SD card reader.



*** Although the M1 app is no longer available, and if installed may no longer function as expected, the steps to connect the app and camera are left below for your reference.


First, to connect to the phone/app, follow these steps:
  1. Connect to M1 Dash Cam using Wi-Fi menu on your smartphone. You can also open the "M1 Dash Cam" App and tap the Wi-Fi icon, which will direct you to Wi-Fi menu setting on your Android smartphone.
  2. Find Wi-Fi SSID "Escort M1" and enter the password "12345678."
  3. After smartphone Wi-Fi is connected to M1, Escort M1 status turns green.
  4. You can stay on this screen to change the setting or access video file. Otherwise, you can click on the "check" button on the top to go to Home Screen.

Be advised, in settings, if you choose Auto Connect ON at Startup (ON by default), the smartphone will automatically connect to the dash cam whenever the App is launched. 

*Please note; if your cell carrier is T-Mobile or Sprint, you may experience playback issues, or even a failure to connect/play back at all in the app.  If this happens, it can be resolved by turning off cell data for the M1 app.  (NOT for the phone).  To do this:

1. Go to your phone settings menu.
2. Go to apps.
3. Find the M1 app, and tap on it.
4. Turn off "cellular data" for the app.
5. You may see a warning when you open the app that you do not have a cell data connection. This is okay, and will not prevent playback.
