Currently using sandisk high endurance sd card and my 70mai A800S is throwing an error saying slow speed of sd card.

Which brand/range are you guys currently using?

Same sd card brand and cam model. 

Did you do a format? Mine will tell me sd card damaged. After a format, it behaved itself until the next tantrum. It happens once or twice a month. The formatting takes less than a minute each time via the apps on my mobile. 

I bought this to standby.

Stay safe 

Cheers

Thanks @PSP415. Bit skeptical if formating helps in this but will give it a try.

I do format once in a long while, but am wondering if the newer sd cards with seemingly faster speeds (but not endurance series) would be of help.

Why not drop dashcamsg a message to check? That is, if it's the same installer as mine. 

They very responsive and in my case, told me to get a free replacement of the sd card from Scandisk. 

Hope yours can be resolved soon as these days, a working car cam is important. Do update and share. 

Stay safe

I bought my A800s from them also, but from Shopee. Can take advantage of the Shopee voucher/coins etc.

Bought for my dad a Marbella KRX during 11.11 from same installer. But somehow the dashcam mounting was missing during installation, not sure why.

Installer asked if want to upgrade to HIK-Vision G2 pro with $50 top up. Went ahead and I think it is worth it for that price point.

In the end bought the sandisk max endurance card to try. So far so good.

Also changing the rear cam to the latest RC12. This is so much better than the RC06 packaged together with the A800S front cam. Easy to install too since cable is compatible.

What’s the diff in picture quality for rc12 vs rc6. I have the rc6 that came with the A800s.

Pixel resolution is the same 1920x1080, but the image is just sharper. Sometimes I wonder if my RC06 is a faulty unit right from start.

Here's a sample pic of vid in kpe tunnel.

Your main cam is A810? Doesn't it comes with RC12 as default? My RC06 with my 1st Gen A800 seems ok, doesn't seems so pixelated as yours.

Anyone tried installing the battery pack aftermarket? Komoco seems to be charging a high amount to do so but not sure if aftermarket voids any warranty

I used a small cam that can record only about three days, but I still do not know how to config it automatically overwrite
