Choosing a Memory Card
When selecting a memory card for your dash cam, we recommend a card with a Class 10/U3/V30 rating or higher. Look for cards that are specifically labeled as "High Endurance," "High-Speed Read/Write," or "Surveillance Grade." These are designed to handle the constant recording and overwriting that dash cams require.
- Class: This is an older rating for speed. For example, a Class 10 card guarantees a minimum write speed of 10MB/s.
- UHS (Ultra High Speed): This is a newer, faster standard. UHS-I U3 guarantees a minimum write speed of 30MB/s, which is great for higher-quality video.
- VSC (Video Speed Class): Look for ratings like V30, V60, or V90. The higher the number, the faster the write speed, which is necessary for recording 4K or higher-resolution video without dropping frames.
