Locked Footage Missing from RO Folder (Deleted instead of locked?)

This is a years old dead post, actually one of the participants ( Jokiin ) actually died in the mean time.

Most times when people have no recording of a accident that happened, the #1 culprit is always the memory card that have died in the mean time, and that can be pretty fast. I have had cards barely filling up 1 time before they died.

Today most systems will give a alarm if it is not able to save a file, but it is still a very good idea to look over the memory card manually now and then, not every single file of course, but look for driving sessions starting / ending in reasonable places, so like where you work / live / shop / get your gasoline / have relatives ASO.

So for start of sessions, it should start in a known place, not 1 KM down the road from one.

Events can create holes in a string of footage, as that part is then placed in the event folder.

I can not say this is a know issue in any brand of dashcam, but still to this day some do have weird things happening.
 
I have a same issue with a Viofo 329, the accident file missing, before and after videos there, so maybe the same problem happened. (My friend hit a deer.)
 
Having multiple cameras gives redundancy since it is unlikely all cameras will fail at exactly the same time.
