Successful experiment ends in failure
I recently picked up an Eye-Fi pro hoping that I could put it in a cheap video camera, use “endless memory mode”, and have 24/7 security cams that are constantly backed up. My Kodak Play camera does not react well to the filesystem changing underneath it – the screen went white and the camera got very hot. My JVC (which I bought on sale for way, way less than what it’s listed for) crams the video onto the card – but the card itself cannot sustain an HD video being written to the filesystem while one is read from the back.
So, even though I didn’t get the answer I wanted, I’m tossing this out there in case anyone else is thinking the same thing.
Anyone want to buy two lightly-used Eye Fi cards? I have an 8 gig and a 4 gig.
