Common questions
Questions before you buy
Is 128GB enough for a dash cam?
Often, yes, but retention varies with resolution, bitrate, channels and recording mode.
Should I choose 128GB or 256GB?
Choose 256GB for longer retention if the camera officially supports it; otherwise use the approved 128GB capacity.
Why use a high-endurance microSD card?
Dash cams overwrite continuously, so endurance-rated cards are designed for heavier write cycles.
How should I format a dash cam card?
Use the camera's format function and follow its manual; save any needed clips first because formatting erases them.
