Post Camera

I have a camera, it is an RAC make, sits well on the screen and is quiet small. It works well, well worth having.
Cheers

I've had several, some last up to 2 years and then die and insurance co. supplied one (£300) GPS, Gforce, had one accident and it didn't save the file!!! I've had TF cards corrupted with "Wrong file cluster, format) appear but it's bo&&xed. You pays yer money really. Mate has a rear view mirror and cam incorporated, really good and it was only £30.

Big problem with the rear view mirror one is when it rains it's looking out of part of the windscreen that the wipers miss.

I bought the wrong size sd card it's throwing a memory error I think it needs a 32gb instead of a 62gb I wouldn't have thought it would had made a difference.

Format the SD card in the dash cam using the dash cam. So don't format it using a PC then put it in, use the menus in the camera and format it in there, see if that works.

Some of them get funny about how it's formatted.
