New F200 only save last four minutes of video
I bough a F200 dash cam wednesday june 29th. It was installed professionable by a car audio company and is hardwired.
No matter how many minutes I drive it only save the last four minutes to the original SD card delivered with the dash cam. I have successfully reformatted the SD card but it does not help.
Update:
Yesterday I drove10 - 11 minutes. The original SD card was reformatted before starting.
The following files was produced:
in cont_rec:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 rickiekaveby staff 83886080 1 Jul 18:33 REC_2022_07_01_18_32_39_F.MP4

in evt_rec:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 rickiekaveby staff 41943040 1 Jul 18:28 EVT_2022_07_01_18_28_28_F.MP4
in motion_rec, after I parked the car:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 rickiekaveby staff 20971520 1 Jul 18:37 MOT_2022_07_01_18_37_13_F.MP4
-rwxrwxrwx 1 rickiekaveby staff 20971520 1 Jul 18:37 MOT_2022_07_01_18_37_25_F.MP4
Note that the event file has a time stamp four minutes before the first save continued recording file. But the trip started maybe five minutes before the event files time stamp.
In the .TWSYS/evt_rec directory there are 41 PEV_*.TMP files, each 40 M large:
ls -l PEV_* | wc -l
41
What happens here? Why does it always (uptil now at leas during maybe 7 - 8 trips) save only the last four minutes?
