Common Problems and Solutions

2. Check the loop recording function of the camera.
3. Check whether the Micro SD card is high-speed above Class 10.
4. Check the memory card, there might be too many locked video that the loop recording won't work right, and in this case, you should adjust the sensitivity of the G-sensor.

If the video played on the computer is somehow not fluent or jammed.

1. Format your Micro SD card in the camera.
