Memory Card Lifespan

Please note that MicroSD cards are consumable items. Due to the stress and build-up of bad blocks (spaces on the memory card that files can no longer be stored at) due to constant overwriting cycles, MicroSD cards typically have a lifetime of 6 months to a year with regular formatting.

Rebooting due to corrupt MicroSD Card

When corrupt memory cards are inserted into our dashcams, the device continually restarts in an attempt to allocate space on the card to save its files.

Indications the MicroSD Card is Corrupted

The Dash Cam will state "Format SD Card Regularly for Data Integrity" upon each startup. If formatting does not correct the issue, or the MicroSD card cannot be formatted, the MicroSD card has become corrupted.

Another indication that the SD card has gone corrupt is hearing the device say "Memory Card Error."

If you believe that the SD Card is beginning to become corrupt, insert the card into your home computer. If the Card is unable to be properly formatted it is time to replace this MicroSD.
