dash camera, be careful what you choose.

BooBoo Hi,
Try holding the SD card in place (correct way around). If proper contact is not made She not work.
That was the problem with mine, after about 17 e-mails was replaced.

Regards Mike

My wife and I have the same cheapy Ebay dash cam, work well when working but sometimes they lock up, wont overwrite and the SD card fills up and stops! On the weekend both of them said memory error. Most of the instructions are almost useless. These are only $40 cameras but are ok for the money. Bought these because they are tiny! I will see how they go, if they don't settle, I will buy decent ones. Having said that, the first one is 12months old and I have had to reset 3 times. The thing with new technology is newcomers to the market get better and better in a short period of time. Michael

Yep, me too.

I bought one from China through AliExpress. It worked sort of OK then froze and wouldn't respond no matter what I did.

So I bought one of these from Jaycar:

QV3793 Dashcam

I had to upgrade the Firmware and software to make it work with the current Google maps, but that was easy. All the instructions were on the Jaycar website. There was also a slight jerkiness in playback. I got on the phone to Jaycar and we worked out that it was an issue with the software and 64 bit Windows. So they will organise a revision to the software to deal with that.

The point is, there was backup, support and a warranty from within Australia. I was definitely on my own with the device I bought from Aliexpress.

There are other brands, Garmin and Navman, sold through Harveys and Dickies too.

You live and learn.

dont forget onsitecamera.

and australia backup too.

Boo Boo,
if you want an inexpensive dash cam that is the most reliable then here is the LINK You can decide for yourself.

Some days are diamonds and some days are rocks.

I had some cheap sd cards that didnt like to work also i always but the class 10 cards also i accidently locked the card which cant be written on

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned or if it will help...

Have you formatted the card and if so try formatting it using SD Formatter. Have you tried another memory card? I had a problem with a card that was an ULtra, for what ever reason the camera did not like it, I replaced it with a normal 32g and it worked fine.

I recently purchased a dashcam, I was originally looking a something cheap, but decided to spent the money and get a decent one. I wanted it to work when it needed to and given that the cheapies can be hit and miss it may just let you down when you need it most. Heat is also an issue with these dashcams and I don't think the cheaper ones will not last long in summer.

I ended up getting an Itronics IBT 100HD, it comes with a 32g card supplied. The quality is excellent and has the best night footage IMHO and feel it is well worth the money.
You could probably get it cheaper online, but I went with a local distributor who has been fantastic.
