    Was that from the camera or sd card you lost it from? I need a camera, especially after a trash truck decided he was having a bad day while blowing through the stop sign. In front of me.

    I'm honestly not sure. I assume the SD card since that's what it writes to. Perhaps I should change cards and see if I stop losing data. It's not every day you pull a pit maneuver on an antelope.

    You do a complete format before running it?

    I've had my dashcam for a couple years and recently ran into some issues with "memory errors" when the unit started. Did some looking around and apparently a lot of people recommend a "high endurance" SD card (MLC) since a standard SD card has a hard time dealing with the constant overwriting? Anyway, I just switched over to try this card out, so we'll see how it goes.

    Good insight, thank you. I'll look into it.

    Great so far. I replaced all the cards in the cams with the high endurance cards. No issues with the errors so far.

    I did have one of the cams have this weird issue cycling off and on when the car turned off. I've read that it's due to a bad battery and I have a couple backup batteries that I ordered for pretty cheap. Just need to take the time to replace the battery one of these days. I ordered a backup camera to keep as a spare in case I run into that again with any of them. SUpposed to be pretty easy to remove and replace teh battery based on a video I saw.
