No prob.

I have also tested Sandisk Ultra 128GB microSDXC UHS-I x2 as well. But of course, testing period is not as long as Samsung EVO.

Not too sure whether is it true, get the biggest memory size your device can support (in this case 128GB for Thinkware) so that the same spot is over-written fewer times and hopefully, the card can last much longer. No harm trying.

Ok, noted with thanks.

I saw this from Thinkware website:
 

How long is the lifespan of a SD card?

Please note that SD cards are consumable items. Due to the stress and build-up of bad blocks (spaces on the memory card that files can no longer be stored) due to constant overwriting cycles, SD cards typically have lifetime of 6 months to 1 year with regular formatting.

When corrupt memory cards are inserted to Thinkware Dash Cams, our dash cam continually restarts in attempt to allocate space on the card to save its files.

The dash cam may also state "Format SD card regularly for data integrity" upon each startup. Another indication that the SD card has gone corrupt is hearing the device say "Memory card error."

If you believe that the SD card is beginning to become corrupt, insert the card into your PC. If the SD card is unable to be properly formatted it is time to replace this SD card.

It doesn't come with motion detect for parking mode. Only records upon impact. That's a concern for me.

Tested the DDP Mini 3 and Mini 5. 

Mini 3 comes with a Bluetooth wireless push switch to snap a photo and 10-30s video, not the Mini 5. But both can be voice activated to do the same. "I want to take a photo". And other functions. 

 

 

In Chinese! 😅

Ingerish educated buyers beware! 

Plus Mini 5 has GPS and speed indication. Which of course I will switch off.

Have used them for horns, cameras, stereo stuff, etc. More than capable to do the stuff you need.

I paid $50 to install front and rear cameras.  The installer took 1 hour+ to remove my old set up and install the new set up.  It did not look easy to me because he used some tools to pull the signal and electrical cables around and hardwire the electrical cables to the correct wires (I hope so).

That's a fair price for their labour and knowledge.
