Dashcam & cctv constantly do loop recording (overwrite video to old data) and that will probably get detected by their diagnostic tools in warranty claim. Camera and drone usually don't get to do that cuz ppl will transfer the data after done recording and just format the sd card.

After format, will still write over the designated area that is freed up for rewrite, that had previous data on it

I got many SD cards, I dropped a few into the dash cam, and when I want to access one, I drop another photo SD card to replace the current dash and just left it there till the next time I want to access the dash. So they get inter mixed at some point.

Idk at the end of the day, I feel if they wanna reject the claim based on "normal wear and tear", they can do it, as the clause applies to both endurance and non endurance SD cards. It's not even abnormal wear and tear.

Perhaps the only real test is the face problem test when handing in the damaged card

Edit:
And from my experience photography and drone has higher stress albeit at shorter durations because the cards are super hot and the write amount in a short time is so much higher due to the high bit rate

Make sure you regularly delete the Emergency (locked) videos so that the camera doesn't keep overwriting the same (unlocked) spot on the SD card. This will make the card wear out faster.

The software just sign in once. If I remember correctly, it's not an online account? Just a username and password for your camera? Can't remember. Not sure what for need username and password if the data is not encrypted anyway.

If don't want download their spyware, just physically remove the card and delete the unnecessary videos on your computer lo.

Guess I will. One of those things procrastinated and forgot about for years. Now it’s gotten to the point where it’s cheap enough to buy small items like this thanks to dumping

When you buy micro SD card, they didn't give that adapter for micro SD to SD for free ke? There's a USB type adapter too.

There's a USB type adapter too. Probably more versatile than the SD type adapter.
