When you replace your camera get a higher end Camers with a super cappasitor Vers a battery, I recently installed to new Blackvue DR650GW 2ch cameras to replace my older failing cameras, having 2 independent cameras is better then having a single dual camera as there is less of a chance of both...
I would increase your budget and get the best camera system you can, I replaced my older finevue CR500HD cameras with 2 single channel Blackvue DR650GW 1CH models being able to check the status of the recordings via wifi has been great.
With my finevue 's I had to remove the sd card to check...
I recently picked up 2 Blackvue DR650 GW -1ch cameras from Alex at Blackboxmycar.com he carries a different cameras and has great customer service .

Once you get your money back go back to where you bought the first one and buy a new one.

Save a bit more and get a better camera and...
