Q: QuestionWhat's the biggest micro ad card I can install in it,32,64,or 128?

Asked 8 years ago by DeputyDawg.

• A:Answer I experimented with a couple of different size micro SD cards, not knowing at the time what the max memory was that the Uniden DC4 dash cam could support. The sales associate told me I could put in any size micro SD card, but that is clearly not the case. Initially I purchased a class 10, 128GB. This didn't work at all, the DC4 cam couldn't even format the card without throwing an error or freezing. Videos would record but they appeared as dark images on the dash cam and would freeze the unit if I tried to play them. On a PC running Win 10 even VLC player couldn't play them, unsupported file type error. I then searched forums and degraded to a 32GB, class 10. No luck here either. I'm curious to hear from the others that posted here if they all are using a class 6 for speed. In my case, using the 32GB, class 10, the Uniden DC4 dash cam had no issues formatting the card, but after recording a few I tried replaying them and it would freeze the unit up. Placing the micro SD card into a PC resulted in unrecognizable file type errors, all showed extension of .mov. I tried converting them to different video formats as well, .avi and .mpeg but no success playing them either. So I've switched back to the original 8GB class 10 micro SD card that sold with the unit and it works. Windows 10 media player isn't playing the sound on any of the clips but using QuickTime Player on my MAC they work perfectly. This is a bummer and I'd love to hear more feedback from others using anything higher than the 8GB micro SD card.

Q: QuestionWill the camera work plugged into the cigarette lighter with the car off? Or do I need batteries to keep it running when the car is off?

Asked 8 years ago by Lorik.

• A:Answer It depends on your vehicle. The power port on some cars has power even when the car is turned off others do not. Our Buick and Blazer both have the power on but my old Chevy truck and GMC Van do not. The battery life on this unit is very short. Maybe 10 minutes at the most.

Q: QuestionI am looking for a camera to put into the vehicle for a new driver... How well will this one work for that purpose?

Asked 8 years ago by PapaSteve.

• A:Answer For the money it's not a bad price. At first I was having trouble getting the suction cup to stay on the windshield. It's stays fine now...but I'd caution a new (actually any) driver to not get all hyper if it falls off. Tell them to keep their eye on the road and pull into a parking lot to reaffix it. I was told I could replace the 8GB microSD card with a 64GB...but none of my 64GB's would format. Other than that.... It's not a bad cam...

Asked 7 years ago by Robbie.

• A:Answer Hi Robbie, I see you got no reply from a year ago! I have just purchased a fully refurbished Uniden DC4 dash cam. Same problem. I have a brand new 2019 Honda Civic RS Sensing sedan. Haven't checked that out yet, but when I install using cigarette lighter to camera power cord supplied, the dash cam does not recharge and cuts out Hopeless. Did you sort out your problem?

Asked 7 years ago by Gigi1992.

• A:Answer Put the card in an adapter and try reformatting then put back in - still get the error - buy a new card. Had the same problem. I had 2 of these cameras and have moved on - they have a 2 year lifespan and then both died.

Q: QuestionI was given a Uniden iWitness DC-4 dashcam by my son, purchased at Best Buy on June 4, 2017, and a little more than 3 months, it seems like the car charger died and deems useless. With USB charger, it works. How can I get replacement? (car charger)

Asked 8 years ago by Reynaldo.

• A:Answer The instruction book lists a warranty and place to mail to for service . Good luck; my unit died at 3 months and waiting to see if they will repair or replace . A cheaper unit from another store lasted longer.

Q: QuestionBought 2 refurbished dc4s by uniden and both keep shutting down on their own?

Asked 8 years ago by zman.

• A:Answer You may want to double check all the settings on the unit.. make sure the SD card is compatible and that it is not defective.The other possibility is the built in Thermal Heat Protection feature. If the unit overheats or battery gets too hot the unit will shut down. This may be true if you live in a hot climate . Good luck !
