While trying out my camera for the first time yesterday it was working fine then shut itself off after about 12 minutes. It restarted fine and when I looked at the videos it did save the video where it turned itself off.

Just to be sure I formatted the card fully on the PC (long format) then again in the camera (it asked to do this twice but that happened when I first put the blank card in)

I then plugged the camera into an AC adaptor (240V to cigarette plug so running through the same wiring routed around the car to the camera) and left it run for 50 minutes and when I came back it was still recording. Could it a problem with the the card? It's a Sandisk Extreme 32gb. (not an extreme pro or anything) rated at 45MB/s.

It may have just needed a proper full reformat but I notice a few people with GoPros, Heros, Blackvues etc have reported issues using Sandisks. The car wasn't doing anything that would've indicated a voltage/current drop at the time and the camera seems to work fine.

I was going out today at lunch time to get a Lexar UHS-I card [400x] 32gb, because I need another one anyway.
 
Sandisk cards are not recommended, maybe it's something else but it's not a card that is suggested for this model anyway
 
Can faulty/incompatible cards cause this kind of problem?

I have to get another card today anyway, Blackvue recommends Transcend, lexar and Delkin. Dont' see the Delkin brand around too much hear but Transcend and Lexar are plentiful.
 
I think some cameras don't handle the hidden files & folders that are created on a Mac for metadata purposes that usually start with a fullstop very well.

I was working on something yesterday that had the same problem - if it saw a file or folder that started with a fullstop it would just crash and burn.

Thanks I did not know that :confused:
