I purchased 2 A129 Pro Duo's for my wife's vehicle and my vehicle. I purchased 2 256GB Samsung EVO Select SD cards. I installed them both with Viofo 3-wire kits. I updated both cameras to the latest firmware on Viofo's website. I have the bitrate set to maximum. I have loop recording set to 10 minutes. On both cameras and both cards, when the card is nearly full the camera will start by randomly beeping. Each time there is a short file (less than 10 minutes) with about 20 seconds of video missing between the end of that file and the start of the next. Eventually the camera will start beeping constantly. Once I reformat the card it works fine until it gets to the end of the card again.
Things I've tried...
I've tested both cards with h2testw. Neither card reported any errors.
Both cards have been reformatted in the camera quite a few times
I reformatted the cards on a PC with "quick format" disabled so each block was re-written. Then reformatted to FAT32 in the camera.
I've reset both cameras from the menu
I've reset both cameras by pushing the recessed button with a paperclip
I've re-installed the firmware a second time.
The problem still persists. I've submitted a help ticket to Viofo but have not heard back. Anything else I should try before I send them back?
