no idea
I have still not learned to backup my PC, though i have lost many gigabytes this way over the years.
But it was never important things so really dident mind, worst things have actually been loosing my browser bookmarks, but even those get restored and the ones getting lost, well they probably will not be missed.
Yeah, I know that for you and many other multi-dashcam users it's a hassle to check all the cards but you have to agree that the majority of people who come here with problems like the OP only have one dashcam. My comment was directed at those.I'm not so sure? With 5 dash cams in my vehicle it can be a time consuming task to take the memory cards out of one or more of the dash cams, bring them into my house, load the files onto my computer, review the files and then take the cards back out to my truck and put them back into the dash cams. Checking my dip stick or the tire pressure takes a fraction of the time and effort.
I change my oil and filter, check my fluid levels, brake, power steering, radiator, trans fluid, tire pressure, air filter, cabin filter faithfully. change my brake pads, flush radiator, change wiper blades, change and bleed brake fluid/power steering fluid when needed. SO i promise to check the Memory card on a regular basis.Well, yeah I've already said that. The question is why you focus on such petty irrelevant BS when my post to the OP was actually about recommending that he get into a routine of checking his dash cam footage after what he experienced from not checking for six months.

Here's an ideal, at least for the new dashcam owners, How about printing in the owners manual to periodically check the memory card and format in the owners manual. I felt that since it holds a SD card with no moving parts that all is okay I know now that it's not the case. and the unit should not show that it is recording with the light on (blinking) give a warning on the screen that the card is not working.
Thanks Dashmellow, I realize their are dash cams on the market that do as you spoken of, guess i'm mentioning the unit I currently use SG9665GC v3 I'm still confused as to why the light would show the user that the unit is recording when it's not.

depends on the type of card failure, it can be sending data but the card is not able to process, the later processors are better at detecting this type of behavior but checking the card occasionally is something that should be done regardless
The Mobius (1) ONLY blinks if it is recording, otherwise it shows a solid RED. The one time I had a card failure (SandDisk Ultra red/grey) that came in pretty handy. The blinking RED LED is something I've relied on for 5 years now. My experience with the SG9665GC has been essentially the same. Are you saying that the Record indicator can blink if it is not recording properly?
I'm saying cards can fail, it is not normal for it to show recording if it's not, some types of failures can't be accounted for
Both use Novatek NT9665x CPU/SDK so nothing different for card error capabilities.
