I've had a B4K Dashcam for a few years, but the past few months I've been having a lot of issues with the camera giving me a card error. At first, when I tried to copy files from the microSD card to my computer, I was getting an error that the file wasn't able to be copied. I was able to fix the issue by using Disk Utility to repair the microSD card. But then the dashcam was giving me a card error and refused to record any more files. I got a new Samsung 128GB endurance microSD, and formatted it in the camera. But I was getting the same issue again! This time I saved the Disk Utility repair results and got this:

I tried a new Samsung 128GB microSD card, and the same thing is happening. The dashcam is recording files incorrectly and preventing itself from writing over files when the card fills up, and also preventing me from copying files off the memory card without first repairing it. I've searched online and haven't found anyone reporting a problem like this before. It is really confusing and also frustrating.
