For my dashcam, I had to format the SD card with the camera and not on my computer.

The default formatting options ##-## e.g. file-system type, block size, probably differ.

Dash cams are a good security feature. 6 months after I got mine, I recorded an accident in a parking lot.



The guy in the van and his wife got out and were yelling that the other guy hit him. The other guy clearly had the right of way. I got the contact info for the guy in the car and sent the video link to his insurance company which they said was very helpful.
