Frequently Asked Questions
Vantrue dash cam corrupts SD card every few days — what is wrong?
Frequent corruption indicates the card is failing. Replace it with a high-endurance U3 microSD card (cards marketed as high-endurance handle the dash cam write cycle better than standard cards).
Vantrue N4 SD card error only on the rear or interior camera channels — cause?
The N4 splits recording between channels. An error on a specific channel may indicate that channel's portion of the SD card has failed sectors. Format the card in the Vantrue camera to reallocate storage.
Is a SanDisk Endurance or Samsung PRO Endurance card suitable for a Vantrue dash cam?
Yes. High-endurance microSD cards like the SanDisk Endurance, Samsung PRO Endurance, and Lexar SILVER series are well-suited for dash cam use and last significantly longer than standard consumer cards.
