Does anyone have a reliable right camera recording in Sentry mode?

I have maybe 20% success getting usable video out of the right hand camera.

Sometimes it affects the other cameras as well.

I believe I'm stopping the usb properly, its a new 32GB USB3.1 drive, as well.

My cameras all work. Sort of. In the parking garage I usually park in at work, it's dark, they all work reliably. What seems to freak them out is sunlight, especially direct sunlight.

From day 1 I have always had issues with the right camera seem random I have a standard plus with MCU 2.5. What are your configuration and are you having issues with your right camera. Is this prevalent on M3 only?

I do not use any USB splitter I have plug it in the Right USB as they had suggested and used 2 different USB with transfer rate of 100MB/S I just order another USB with transfer rate of 300MB/S. Last week I left my car at supper charger walked around the shops and I get a Sentry warning text to my phone as I ran to the car thinking the worst as my son had left his 2 Ipads in the open back seat I thought they had broken my glass and get to them. To my surprise everything was fine but I have yet to find out what cause the alarm to go off I did put the climate control to cool from my phone app. Again as I search thru the sentry Video I was frustrated not to have my right camera. I hate to invest into a dash cam and add more equipment to the car.

The right side cam always outputs but sometimes has green interference on the bottom half of screen and it's kind of fuzzy. It has never been very good from day one (March 2019).

High speed USB drive directly into the right side port. Maybe I should try the backseat ports :)

I've seen the green stuff occasionally, but usually the files are zero length.
