I've been an early adopter of SG9665GC V3 (bought two of them when they came to the US last December). I like this little dashcam for its size and good video quality, however I have two concerns after using them for last 11 months:
1. The 3M tape doesn't stick to base mount. I have already replaced the tape twice on both units and now I'm out of tape. Where can I get replacement tape for base mounts? It doesn't seem to hold for more than 5 months. My previous dashcam units (iTronics ITB-100HD) stayed there for about 6 years without any tape separation issues.
2. I recently was involved in a car accident and to my big surprise have found that the SD card (Lexar 633x 200GB) is dead and non-recoverable, so I lost all the recordings including the scene of the accident I was involved in. Obviously I would advise against using Lexar products based on this experience, however I'm also very concerned why SG9665GC didn't make any sound alarms when it was not able to record to the card. I have it mounted behind the rearview mirror, so it's hidden and I cannot see it. My old iTronics ITB-100HD dashcams were very vocal when they are not able to record to the card, which I assumed (probably wrongly) SG9665GC would do too? Is there any menu option to turn on voice alarm if SD card is not writable? What did I miss here?
Thanks,
