Uniden DCAM Sound Issue

[OstentaciousOrc]

I searched around a bit first and did what I saw to be suggested in many different posts, so I went ahead and changed the SD card to a SanDisc 32GB Class 10 and the problem persists. There is a weird buzzing/humming sound that goes in and out while recording. This camera is plugged in via cigarette lighter. You can hear it in this video starting at 2:20

Hoping someone might have a better idea of what the problem is, thanks.

try powering from a different source to see if the noise is induced or inherent, if induced a different power supply might sort things out, if it's inherent it could be a hardware fault, or just a design fault, knowing which model you have might have been useful also

Ferite Choke might help filter electrical noise

Hmm never heard of that. A quick google search pulled up a little device that looks like it just gets wrapped around an existing cord?

looking through the reviews there's some mention of audio interference and interfering with remote start so it's possible the camera itself is electrically noisy

Yes , also ferite chokes that clip onto a wire / cable .. I have several myself ...
