File lock doesn't work?

[Pakabidu]

Hello,

So far very pleased with how my hardwired Mini 0906 with Samsung EVO Plus 128GB performs. Only downside at the moment is poor radio reception due to interference from a rear camera (two 7mm ferite clamps didn't do much). Besides that, it seems my camera is not locking files properly. I've locked few videos while driving and wanted to have a look at them on my laptop. Opened the folder and couldn't tell the difference between locked/unlocked - all file names go by date/time stamps, also there's no "LOCKED" folder in root directory... OK, so I try to delete all videos from REAR in hope that some will be "read only" therefore impossible to delete. Nope, all gone... Found a thread on this forum about how mini 0906 is only locking videos from front camera, so now I'm deleting everything from FRONT aaaand it's empty.

Could someone please tell me what should happen when I lock the video? When I press arrow down button, I get padlock icon on the screen and locking sound from my camera, so it is trying to lock something...

But if it let me delete all the videos from SD, doesn't that mean that none files had read only attributes, therefore file locking doesn't work?

Locked files just don't get overwritten during normal recording, you can still manually delete, format the card etc

Thank you, all is clear now. I was hoping locked files would get renamed or put in separate folder for easy find, but it seems I'll need to remember the exact times of events I want to look at later, otherwise can spend an hour browsing 128GB worth of videos... Another suggestion for next firmware update (if there will be one)...

It easy to looking your lock files.

On your files browser. right click on you column name >> check box for show Attributes >> Sort by Attributes
Now you will easy to find your lock files.

I have this same problem and not able to see different attributes even after I set them to show.

Is there any way to get a separate file for events only like in the B1W cams?
