So today was my first proper trip since I installed the 422GW in the car. A 3.5 hour drive down the A1, around the M25 and down the M3.
About an hour into the journey, I noticed that the camera was switched off. I pressed the power button and it powered back up but 10 minutes later and it was off again. Each time I would press the power button and the device would power back up but it would be off again in less than 10 minutes.
After a short stop at the services, the camera stayed alive for about 20 minutes before we dropped back into the 10 minute cycle.
The camera was VERY hot to the touch.
So I am suspecting an overheating problem here but clearly this makes the camera pretty useless if it can’t be trusted to stay on.
So I have the same journey back home again tomorrow night but if it’s a repeat of this journey down, the camera is going to be returned as faulty by the weekend.
BTW
Where is the IOS app?
