Both from estore009:
I have had the G1W Battery cam for a few years with no problems and now bought the G1WC but it can't keep the date even overnight.
At first it would not loop and after some simplistic answers from Vicky at estore009: I had a try with different methods. I had to as the help from estore009: was poor.
I wrote that I had "loop recording" on.
I had the turned the "G-sensor" off.
I had "motion detection" off. and had re-formatted the card estore009 supplied card.
Incredibly I received from estore009.......

Thank you for your message.
First,please make sure you turn on "loop recording" function, if the camera will turn off automatically when the card is full, please turn off "G-sensor"and "motion dection"and format the tf card before use.
If it still doesn't work,please tell us the firmware version of your camera,we will send a firmware to you for updating.
After that,if it's still like that,please pay for the postage of both ways and send it back,we will repair it for you.
Best regards!

I loved that underlined bit....
So I received back word for word, directions to do what I already had done.......Some help I thought.
Any way I told them peacefully that they were of little help and they sent me the latest firmware in a zip file. I was loath to install it having read of some folks getting a load of misery doing this sort of update. Also I have the 2015 firmware in and could not see the benefit of what should have been fixed in the firmware I already had in the cam.
That's why I joined this very helpful forum. I had nor tried the trick of selecting a different clip length and happily it worked.
The date is not responsive however and I can change it now and it is back to its default by morning. I will use it in the vehicle as it is not hard to find a file that I need and actual incidents are few. But I did save a girl a lot of problems when some one hit her and the cam is beneficial.
Any way we are only talking here and I wont be getting another capacitor cam in a cheap variety again, so a good learning curve.
I do have in my possession now, the very latest firmware for the G1WC. I haven't tried to post it but would it be useful to the members?
I have also adapted the old G1W as a bicycle cam with an auxiliary battery and just testing to see how long it will run on the battery I am using. I will post on that later.
