Rear View Mirror USB Dashcam Auto recording

[hilltophouse]

Hi, a bit of strange one but would be interested to know if anybody has any ideas to resolve...other than to get another dashcam!

When starting the car (73 plate ZS SE Long Range) the dash cam boots but does not auto start the recording.
If I unplug and re plug in cam all starts auto recording fine.
If I just use accessory start (i.e. no foot brake or 'engine') it starts auto recording just fine
I'm guessing maybe some drop in power or signal when the full car is starting....any ideas how to resolve?

@hilltophouse …I previously had the ZS EV, and currently have the MG3 hybrid both the dashcam connected to the usb in the rear view mirror without any problem.
What camera are you using?

Not anything special, and that's probably the problem!

Its ok apart from the starting....I have another one that does start recording in all modes, but the recording quality is poor. Trying to avoid getting another one... not sure if a filter or something on cable may help....just I have no idea

@hilltophouse ….. hmmmm not sure about that model. I have Nextbase and used it in 3 different cars with no problems, not cheap I know but worth it if you can afford

Try plugging it into another USB socket to test and see what happens?
