RTC?
This is all I get every time I plug it into power, it reset to 00:00 clock and 01/01/2014 which I have to change every time I use it also have to go keep putting the screensaver on every time as well or the sceen stays on which is really annoying espeically at night. as once the power is shut off on it, it is as if the whole thing resets to factory settings and won't switch on at all even straight after pulling the power cable out. Really annoying having to re set all that everytime I get in the car.
Hi Natasha,
What size/make/manufacturer SD card are you using in the Dash Cam please? How old is the SD card?
I'd recommend performing this simple test:
1) Take your Dash Cam inside and plug it into mains power.
2) Remove any rear Cameras or SD cards and turn the Dash Cam on. Please turn Parking Mode off as this could interfere with the test results.
3) Let it charge for 2-3 hours whilst turned on (without the SD card inserted!)
4) Unplug the power cable and time how long the Dash Cam stays on for. The time it takes for the battery to drain will help us identify the root cause
5) Please remember that after this test your Dash Cam will once again need charging as the battery will be flat.
The final operating time will help us identify whether the issue is due to a corrupted SD card or if a new battery is required.
Please let me know how you get on.
Regards,
