Dashcam destroying SD cards?
Discussion
NextBase 412GW dashcam seems to be eating memory cards, and I have no idea why. After a while the cam says it need formatting, and then when you try and format them it throws an error, and even using my laptop I am unable to format or use the cards any more.
By the looks of things the camera is recording 24/7 in HD quality - a 2 min video is 500MB, which probably isn't helping the cards last long, but despite buying good cards (SanDisk Ultra, Class 10, A1) they only last a couple of month before being knackered.
Can anyone recommend any better brands/models of card, or a setting which might help them last longer? I know the camera says to format the card every 2 weeks, but its easy to forget that and the cards should last longer anyway IMO.

I can't imagine they are getting too hot, this is England after all, and the same products are no doubt sold in considerably warmer countries!
All the cards are bought from Amazon, and sold by Amazon, so shouldn't be fake. I see Nextbase now do their own SD card range, maybe will try one of those and see if its any better.
