- If you need to format the SD card, please do so in the camera itself within the settings menu. Do not format the SD card on your PC.
- The Dash Camera may occasionally prompt you to fom, at your SD card. This is done to ensure smooth Dash Camera operation, but will delete your saved footage. You can download and save your favorite clips using the Drive Smarter App or by connecting the camera to your PC.
