Worth checking, can't rule out anything really
If they could monitor the voltage of the caps that may at least help to rule that out mate? Not sure how long they tend to hold their charge if they only get charged at bootup?
Maybe put a 2nd DVR next to the first one, lowering the chance of not recording. Odds will be better But if that was a common problem of not recording there would be a mutiny on this forum. I think if you buy a quality DVR with a good reputation it wont happen very often.Maybe you guys just have to stop formating sd cards proactively like you keep advertising to users. Maybe then you will see what's going on.
Every thread on this topic - I keep seeing advise "format the card periodically". Really? Weekly? Daily? Why not hourly? This way I would for sure not see this issue often.
End users don't proactively format sd cards. And they should not. Period.
Imagine an airplane crash. Black box was found. Turns out it was not recording the last 2 weeks. Can you imagine that? I can't.
You are selling black boxes that have 24/7 recording parking feature. And yes - people use them for this! But no, it does NOT work as advertised. It is NOT a black box what end users bought these for.
I was very loyal and patient as this was indeed a new product. But it has been over a year now... Very not impressed.
I thought that's exactly what I bought SG for.I think if you buy a quality DVR with a good reputation it wont happen very often.
And there we go again. If you follow the issue across multiple threads and times - you would see that this is a common problem. For those who actually use the product intensively. It drives me nuts that over a year now we still have no consensus that there is an issue.But if that was a common problem of not recording there would be a mutiny on this forum.
SGZC12RC and SG9665GC have different hardware and thus they deliver different experience.Sorry to hear you are having a bad taste with dash cams but... my own personal experience with the Street Guardian SG9665GC was no serious problems that a firmware update could not fix. If I did have any technical questions jokiin was always here to walk me through. Never did my SG stop recording. And my wife and 2 sons each have an SG and no problems. Can it be that maybe you got a defective one?
The product has clearly been advertised to have Motion Detection as well as hardwiring instructions to benefit from "Parking Mode". If you propose to hardwire - that is 24/7 mode. Moreover, the camera is not actually writing to sd card 24/7 as there is no movement 24/7. Plus battery has tendency to go low on voltage and the camera cuts off until the next time I start the engine. So we are really not talking about 24/7/365 and yet we have many scenarios of card corruption.right now I would suggest formatting the cards regularly, engineers have been unable to pinpoint the problem, yes it's annoying having to do that, I'm not sure who ever promoted this as a 24/7/365 monitoring system but it certainly wasn't me, understand that there are people that are using it like that but it wasn't designed with that type of usage in mind, most frustrating though is that some people run them like that and don't have the same issue but some do, that makes it harder to find the problem, even it is not the intended usage we still have been trying to work it out
I'm not sure who ever promoted this as a 24/7/365 monitoring system
Just a reminder about 24/7 while car is parked endorsement.The Panorama X1 was the name of the PROTOTYPE product, which doesn't officially exist.
Street Guardian took over this project and now Official model name is STREET GUARDIAN SGZC12RC.
Panorama X1 is one of the first Korean remote lens dashcamera systems based on supercaps ( capacitors ) which allows to use it not only for normal driving recording, but also used 24/7 while car is parked ( motion detection and g-sensor shocks recording ).
I am not using this product for cooking and I think I use it exactly what it has been endorsed for: "used 24/7 while car is parked (motion detection and g-sensor shocking recording)".the camera has motion detect, motion detect is not parking mode, ultimately we can't control how people use the products
Thanks for the response.
32GB cards are the maximum for FAT32 filesystem that is stable, but you have not enough space for a recording cycle required for parking recording.
My both 64GB Lexar 633x and 128GB Samsung EVO are exFAT and not stable and are equally vulnerable to corruption by SGZC12RC. But 64GB is the least what should be settled for parking usage.
This concludes that SGZC12RC should not be used as 24/7 dashcam.
Very very sad. Especially after custom install and investment.
Given the fact you guys cannot reproduce the problem - you are not going to convince me that "Transcend High Endurance" is going to fix my problem if you don't see the Please format card in your tests. You don't get them in any tests. No value.
The problem is not with sd cards. It is with SGZC12RC.
Hi @jokiin What did you find out? I'm rather desperate to get additional stability, any fixes, even minor to assist are better than not.nothing that should have any affect on the issue you have, will check again later today and see if any further news since
Hi @jokiin What did you find out? I'm rather desperate to get additional stability, any fixes, even minor to assist are better than not.
I've also seen more instances where the cameras are just 'off' when they shouldn't be (they have power) and you need to start them again. I have no idea where to start on that one, they just shouldn't turn off.
