2 of my 2230s are having issues.
Chkdsk won't complete with /f or /r.
I can't format the cards on my desktop or laptop.
I can't even format in the 2230.
I enabled recording and the files stay showing up but when I download they don't play. . And when I reboot the camera the files disappear and the old ones return.
Is there anything more serious than chkdsk?

Found sdformatter 4.0 from sd group. .
Says card is write protected.
I've tried in 3 different adapters for my desktop. . I've flipped the little switch on the card and same thing.
-
Lots of googling produced not much.
Got some tool on Linux and that didn't even do it.
The only thing I see is that these SanDisk cards have an auto protect feature but I'm not sure that's what happened.
My other cards of same make have no issues.
I gave up for now. Ordered some new cards.
-
HPformatter didn't work either.
-
Found online video on YouTube about using msdos diskpart. After 48 hours formatting it finally got to 100% and failed and nothing happened to the sd card.
Is there a way to short the card?

Whatever happened with this? Sounds like your SD card was defective.

2 messed up in 2 different 2230s.
A 3rd is half messed up. If I reboot the camera when it
quits recording, the file structure shows when it failed back in May. I doubt it is recording anything.
Something about these cameras burning out the SD cards after 6 months to a year. The new cards appear to be working fine.

Another one bites the dust. I dated my record FileName July so I knew when I put it in. Last file was 7/27. 21 days and toast. Won't format in pc or dcs2230. Sdformatter on pc says it is write protected.

So a total of 4 botched San disk sd card 32gb. That's $20 a pop at today's prices.
I found one more trick online last night to try.
Not sure what's all involved with their 10 year warranty.

I have 8gb cards (WAY too small) in my cams and have been running them for 12 months on motion-detect and 6 months continuous record with no issues. I think I'd like to migrate toward a Zoneminder system with a hard disk for continuous recording. Have you considered going that route?

Need to look up Zoneminder.
What brand of sd card?
I bought new cards today of different brands to use/test at my local Micro Center computer store.
2 32gb Micro Center branded $12.99 each
2 32gb Kingston $17.99 each
2 32gb Toshiba $19.99 reach.
If all of these gets locked them is the DCS-2230.
I'll keep posted here. The micro center cards are in.
2230-1 needed Rebooted to see the card as it was warning it wasn't properly formated, etc. But on reboot, the cameras file structure was available.
2230-2 had no issues with hot insert. File structure setup without issue.
-
I've done more digging on other sites.
The San disk sd card forum even had accusations of Sandisk collecting the cards data for users.
I'm guessing they have a pretty bad bunch of cards floating around .. I'm going to try to warranty some but receipts aren't my strong point

It seems the hardware requirements are a bit steep. I'd like to set up a mini-ITX server of some kind for centralized control and possibly better motion detection. It's linux-based and has quite a following.

They're PNY.

They're PNY.
And two just burned out within two days of each other after about 6 months of 24/7 recording at max quality.

Damn bro.
Maybe it is the heat inside the camera causing the issue.
At 6 months that's hardly max life of sd card.
