Infinite Loop Rebooting - Troubleshooting The BlackVue750-2CH LTE Dashcam
Over the past couple of weeks, I experienced an intermittent failure mode where the camera will repeatedly reboot. I go over the steps I took to troubleshoot the camera in order to determine if it is indeed broken. You can follow these steps to confirm if your dashcam needs to be replaced or repaired.
The heating issue may not be correct since the first time it occurred was in the evening on an average spring day in Virginia.
