How are you powering the camera?

What brand and model card are you using?

Card should be good for the V3. Maybe try formatting with the Fat32 format tool in the link below.

If that does not help, I would try using the included 12V car adapter and Viofo power cable.

As above ...... these issues are 99% caused by a low power adapter or a dodgy SDCard

Check the card with H2TESTW and as above, the included power socket and cable

I've read quite a few similar posts, something to do with SanDisk SDCard firmware

Doesn't affect all dashcams though

For a V3 I recommend Samsung, my Evo Pro is now 6 years old and still going strong:

Here is my 128Gb Samsung Evo. Bought from ScanUK so is genuine: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Further reading advises modern SDCards need to be tested under USB3 as USB2 often isn't...
