It is not so good as a backup cam - the main use I was planing for it.

Why? No left/right mirroring (making my head go round), about 30 seconds delay for starting up, and last but not least - so-so visual performance at night.
Besides, having rear dashcam is fun, but not very useful. I guess good backup cam will be a better replacement.

Both cards are set to default, which is re-record based on time. Both have the original 16gb class 6 cards.
It's a nuisance and I have real no problem reformatting the card... I just have a problem if the card stops working while in drive and then there is an accident.
Again, I'm suspecting it could be a problem with the card itself, not the unit.

I think that many if not most corrupted SD card problems are caused by interruptions in power and voltage spikes when ignition is turned on. My BlackVue is hooked up to a power source that is not interrupted when I start the engine.

Would you dare to pull your desktop's power plug many times during the comp's boot process just to see if it will recover alright next time it's plugged back in? Every time BlackVue is powered up it creates new files on the SD card. File creation is a flimsy process. If power is interrupted during this step then it might result in a corrupted file system. Why take chances? Let you comp boot completely before shutting it down, meaning connect your BlackVue to a power source that doesn't flicker when your start your engine.
So far I have never had a problem with the "check SD card" error, and I'm on my fourth firmware.
