Why Do Dash Cam Memory Cards Frequently Get Damaged?
1 Answers
The main reasons for frequent damage to dash cam memory cards are poor memory card quality and issues with the dash cam itself. Below is a detailed explanation of the common causes of memory card damage: Poor Memory Card Quality: Low-quality memory cards are more prone to damage. It is recommended to use high-speed memory cards and format them regularly (every 3 months), replacing them with new ones after a year. Additionally, try to lower the resolution while maintaining clarity. Issues with the Dash Cam: Problems with the dash cam, such as high voltage or current, can potentially burn out the memory card. Do not insert or remove the memory card while the dash cam is powered on; always turn it off first before handling the card. Forcibly removing the card can easily damage it, as memory cards do not support hot-swapping. In general, it is best to minimize inserting and removing the memory card from the dash cam. Typically, a memory card can last several years in a dash cam without any issues.
