Dash Camera Micro SD Cards

Hi All,

Looking to get a replacement and spare Micro SD Card for my Dash Cam (A129 Duo). Can anyone vouch
(in terms of quality/reliability) for any of the below or should I stick with High Endurance cards?

1) Patriot EP A1 256GB Micro SD Card SDXC
2) Silicon Power U3 256GB Micro SD Card
3) SanDisk Ultra 256GB Micro SD Card A1
4) Lexar High Performance 633x 256GB A1

Thanks,

BLAIL

    I had a SanDisk Ultra sitting in my drawer for almost 4 years, finally used it a few months ago and it's working flawlessly in a dashcam. Make of that what you will in terms of reliability.

    • Sitting in a dashcam in the sun may be different?

  • Dashcam sites may be your best source of info? I have had the best run out of Samsung cards which you don't mention.

    • which cards are these and are they cheaper than High Endurance? I can find Sandisk High Endurance 256GB for $55-$60

  • 1) Samsung SDXC Pro Endurance

    2) San Disk SDXC UHS-1

    Personally I'd stick with high endurance cards, given the small price difference.

    Did you check Sandisk Max Endurance or high endurance and Samsung pro endurance cards? They are built for surveillance

    I've been using 128gb Sandisk Extreme for many years (10+) and never had an issue though I do generally have a couple that I rotate through eg most recently I had one I'd use on the drive in, then swap in one configured for parking mode, then a third on the way home. Car was parked in the open year round both at home and work.

    All depends on the camera, my camera works fine with a standard 128gb sandisk, but would chuck a wobbly with a standard Samsung 128gb
    Make sure to format it from the camera, sometimes thats the cause of it not working

    I've killed a samsung 128gb microSD before in a dashcam… I only use endurance varieties now. Too important to have fail when you need it.
