Hi,
I have just received the dashcam and have noticed a rather strange problem. If i leave it for extended periods it wont turn on , the leds flash if I press a button the bottom on the far right. I can leave it like this and even 5 minutes later its the same, other than the LEDs nothing responds. I checked the manual but there is nothing about troubleshooting. It's a brand new microsd card that I read on here should now be compatible with this camera, i'll go check the brand and report back.
This is a video of what the camera does
What I have found is that if i remove the power cable for a second and plug it it the dashcam springs to life and works great, i can drive and even park the car and go to the shops and return and it will work just fine. Seems to be an issue if its left ofr an extended period. If there is any tweaks or settings I can change that might help please advise, or I guess it could be a bad camera?.
I only just purchased it from @niko so an official distributor, so it's a genuine item. Its only been with me a few days (less than 7) so hopefully it's just a setting and not a faulty camera
Also, I'm using a brand new sandisk ultra 200GB A1 spec card that I read should be compatible now with this dashcam, I think StreetGuardianUSA said recently these microsd cards should be OK.
