Hi people. My girlfriend bought me a Monkon G1W dashcam for christmas, and I am having issues with it. Firstly, I have no idea which version of the G1W it is, as it isn't specified on the box nor the dashcam itself, so I can't be more particular about the exact model. I think it is this model though https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/B00UFD7366
The original SD card that came with it wouldn't stay in the dashcam (it kept popping out) so I bought a 64GB Samsung SD card. I had a few other issues (both with my car and its clutch and the dashcam itself) so I haven't tried it out much. I thought I had gotten it to work fine though and have tried it out on a couple of trips, to differing results.
One the first trip, it seemed to work, but when I check the recorded footage, I found that only the first two loops were recorded (6 minutes in total). These played both on the G1W and when copied onto my computer. However, the two journeys recorded today both only recorded the first loop. Also, when copied to my computer, won't play on my computer (VLC says it can't find the format or something like that. Popping the SD card back into the dashcam to see if they were readable there now says "no file" (despite the files from the other day still being on the SD card).
I have ordered a Transcend 32GB card from Amazon, and it is due to arrive next week, but I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions in the meantime?
Current firmware (according to the camera) is 2015.0427.01
Thank you
