I’ve been running my FineVu CR-500HD for about 8 months now, and recently I’ve noticed two specific problems:
1. The camera often does not go into parking mode, and instead continues to record in normal mode for hours on end, despite my car being parked and turned off. When I go to review the videos, sometimes the camera will have properly switched itself into parking/motion detection mode, but often I’ll see hours on end of normal mode recordings of my vehicle parked in a garage. It is set to automatically go into parking mode- I have never had to manually switch it on.
2. For some reason, the camera also misses large periods of time, i.e. no recordings for hours at a time. Sometimes it is missing an hour or so, sometimes it is missing multiple hours with no recorded footage. Occasionally, when I watch the next available footage (i.e. if there is a gap between 200pm and 500pm, when I load the 500pm clip), it will start with the camera beeping, as though it just started up; has it crashed in the meantime? However, sometimes there is no beeping sound, simply a gap of missing footage.
My vehicle spends most of its time parked in an underground garage so temperature is a non-issue. The voltage readings in the videos show plenty of charge with no significant fluctuations, so it is not a battery cutoff problem either. I did swap out a SanDisk 16GB for a SanDisk 32GB microSD card a few months ago; is this possibly a problem for the camera? Any advice on troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated- I want to avoid missing footage, either b/c the camera wasn’t in parking/motion detection mode, or b/c the camera wasn’t recording at all, in the event of another parking lot hit and run. Thanks in advance!
