Just last week, I discovered some issues with my SCZC12RC after using it for about 3 months. The cam was bought through Amazon, supplied by Pier28, Inc. My setup as follows:
1. Purely Parking Mode recording
2. Average time of recording about 12 hours daily, from 9pm to 9am.
3. Powered by Zendure A8 QC 26,800mAh Power Bank.
4. Setup: loop recording 1 minute with medium resolution, G sensor off, LCD screen saver 1 minute, 32 GB SD card with FAT32 format.
Issues encountered:
1. Power bank draw down was only 2-3% at times. Normal draw down was 40% average due consistent traffic and human flow past the front of the car.
2. Once, there was a white screen stuck on the LCD.
3. At times, after the 1 minute, the screen saver goes into saver mode as programmed, but after a few minutes, the screen came back on without any reason.
4. At times, the power bank's percentage indication of left over power level will disappear, meaning there is a auto shutdown of the cam.
5. I have 2 of the Zendure power bank for cyclic use. Both checked to be of good condition by powering other devices as I thought they might be the ones causing the issues of the cam operation.
6. Swap with 3 different 32GB SD cards and will encounter at least one of the issues above.
I did many times total reset and formatting, but till now, the issues still surfacing and each time I discovered, is either one of the above. Its not a consistent issue with all possible combinations of the power bank and the SD cards. Only thing I have not done is re flashing the firmware, which I am hesitant to do.
Appreciate any input.
