Are some dashcams capable of repeatedly killing memory cards?
Here's the situation:
I have a couple of dozen dashcams, most of them duplicates or sometimes even several cams of the same type.
I keep an Excel spreadsheet record of periodic/random spot checks on cams and where I have multiples of any particular type the cam has a sticker with a number on it to differentiate it from other identical cams. I make any necessary notes on the spreadsheet if the cam has been misbehaving (often memory card failure or power supply issues - or my own stupidity with incorrect settings).
One thing that has come to my attention is that one cam in particular has suffered three quality Micro SD card failures so far this year, all different brands (32GB PNY, Sandisk and Transcend) which is very unusual - average would probably be something like one card failure every two years in any given cam.
Interestingly, I have a couple of other cams that are identical to the card-killer and they've never killed a card in the couple of years I've had them.
Do you guys think the cam might be the problem or is it just a run of bad luck?
