    That is the first thing that came to mind. The camera I use has a mini SD card, and it needs to be formatted before install.

    Did you format the new SD card? Mine only worked for a short time until I formatted the card.

    Maybe call the company help line or go to their website and look up the FAQ.

    You might want to move the camera to the passengers side windshield. Anything in the travel of the wiper is a write up if you get inspected. My wife got one in Michigan, My driver in OH and I got one in TX. Just saying.

    He should be fine if he places the dashcam on the passenger side, higher above (for a fuller view of the hood grill area), and behind the wiper area.
