I have been doing a few tests on a new 4k dash cam I recently purchased but am having a couple of Issues with it, as I got it from China I wasn't expecting much and the issues seem to be proving this, I have a dual port cigarette lighter mounted in the original lighter connection, I got the splitter because I sometimes take my computer with me and sometimes need to charge it from one of the splitters connections, the other connection houses the original dash cam, but when I use the new camera with the cable that comes as part of the package it makes all the noises as if starting up and finishing etc but every section of film is unplayable coming up with an error.
The splitter also has dual usb ports so if my phone battery goes flat while I'm out then I can charge it while driving, fortunately, both the phone and the new camera have the same type of connection and if I use the usb cable to run the new dashcam everything works fine and plays back with out any issues.
Apart from the camera only running for three minutes at a time then stopping for a second before continuing and I'm sure it's not 4k, has any one got any ideas why despite apparently working with the package cable, I have to use the phone charging cable to actually get it to work.
Thanks
PS it doesn't matter which connection I put it in the playback keep coming up with an error.
