Date/time stamp error.

Background: Waited before doing a review, I ordered it June 26, 2018. Hardwired it to the fuse with my daytime running lights. I had trouble within the first 3 months, but wanted to give it a chance. Just recently, I had a pedestrian accident wherein i drove past the scene before walking on the area. It would have been nice to have recorded the scene before the accident. When I reviewed the recordings, it was not recorded. That meant the camera was not on. It was just a common event that the camera will not turn on that I got tired troubleshooting it and just let it go. PROS 1. Good picture, video and audio quality 2. Good suction mount. Only lost suction about 4x in the past year. 3. Able to record video of the rear view as well 3. Good customer service Cons 1. Date/time stamp error. Even if I set the correct date/time, not long after (maybe within a week), it will reset to either 2000 or 2012. I thought as long as I am able to record the video, it should be ok. Until the next time it does another reset, then you lose the old video. In the screenshot I uploaded, the file name (which follows the date and time format) does not even closely correspond to the date/time detail of the file on the right column. 2. For the first 3 months, the camera did not automatically turn on 30% of the time even though it was hardwired. For the past year, I would say that it WORKED only roughly 30% of the time (factoring in the date/time stamp error). It turned on more times but with date/time stamp error. I contacted customer service and they gave instructions on how to make it work. My impression of the instructions, if the troubleshooting does not work, SD card is to blame.
