Viofo A229 Pro vs Wolfbox G900

“I've been having an issue ever since weather has even moderately warmed up: the A229 Pro powers on when I start the car, but within a minute, chimes noise as it powers back down. No type of indicator showing an overheat issue or any other error codes. If I unplug the cord and plug it back in, it will stay on the rest of the drive. This is not an issue that ever happens when its below 60 degrees outside. Only when it is warm and the sun is out. For reference I reformatted my SD card and I have been using viofo wires and the viofo cigarette lighter adapter for power. Very frustrating since it ruins the reliability of having a dash cam. Given the cost of the A229 pro, it should run flawlessly.”

“ >I have tried nearly everything. There is no way for you to pull the footage off of the wolfbox camera and view it on Apple ios. On the unit I tested the included 64GB card came formatted fat32, and worked for me out of the box with the mac I was using though I needed to use VLC to play the files. Manual indicates the same format is used on the G850. I'd format the original card in the cam, record and review on the mirror cam, reboot and review again, then power it off and remove the SD to try in the mac again. This will insure there is something on the card, and that the card is not corrupted on removal. Wolfbox has models with WiFi, which you can connect to directly using the ios app, but getting a cheap android table or used laptop and using wifi and icloud to transfer the files is likely your lowest cost and hassle option. Unclear what would happen if you tried to connect directly to the USB c.”
