What Causes a Dash Cam to Shut Down Automatically?

[McKing]

The reasons for a dash cam shutting down automatically are as follows: 1. Faulty memory card in the dash cam: Due to prolonged use, the memory card may develop issues after continuous friction. In such cases, formatting the memory card on a computer usually resolves the problem. If it's a newly configured memory card, it might be an issue of incompatibility. 2. Loose power connection: Especially when using a multi-port cigarette lighter adapter, loose connections frequently occur. When the power connection is loose, the dash cam will automatically switch to its built-in battery, which typically doesn't last long. This results in the dash cam appearing to be on but shutting down when checked later. 3. Fuse issue in the cigarette lighter socket: If the power is directly drawn from the cigarette lighter and the connection isn't loose, the problem might be with the fuse in the cigarette lighter socket. In this case, consider changing the power supply method, such as drawing power from the dome light with a transformer.
