Yes but at least you would know something is wrong, which i feel is better than driving for weeks / months and think everything are fine.
I dont think the RTC battery are monitored in any way, so the only way to get a alarm if it go bad would be to give a alarm in regard to irregular behavior as a result of failed RTC battery.
I am also assuming that in general all Dahscams have a memory card inside that is full, and so in the process of deleting old footage to make room for new stuff.
If the memory card was brand new and empty, the camera would work fine working from the default time / date for the whole drive, but then if you stop for a short while and set off again and the camera default your continued drive i assume would create files with the same names as the ones you created on the first part of your drive, and then i am not sure what would happen if the camera just name the new file xxxx.xx:xx #1 or what.
I have also wondered why i have never seen a dashcam that sort files in individual folders for the day, so in my case all recordings from today would be in a folder named 21:02:2021
I am assuming the logic to do this fairly simple job are not there in dashcams.
But i think i would not mind a dashcam with a such file structure,,,,,, i would be okay with a global RO folder for the events of any day, as after all ones dashcam should not crank out so many event files.
