Evening,
Can anyone recommend an SD card for dash cam.
Have a blackvue 650 dual cameras. Currently only using front cam & it only records about 8 hours of footage with parking mode. About to install the rear & I don't fancy paying £150 for an SD card from blackvue but want something capable of handling both cameras for as long as possible.

Any card will do, but I prefer to buy Class 10 cards from known suppliers. Beware of eBay it has been known to have fakes there,

I often use Ebuyer.com whilst slightly more than eBay are at least trustworthy.

I use www.picstop.co.uk for memory cards for our phones, tablets, cameras & dashcams.
They're very reliable, always genuine & very cheap compared to most.
Their delivery always seems pretty quick.
huge range of manufacturers, specs & capacity

PS They're owned by Tesco, so not a fly by night, untrustworthy supplier. Paul,

Not a user, and agree any fast card should do, but when I was investigating this product I noted comments related to the vendor giving customers a hard time with troubleshooting if they were not using an OEM card. And the OEM cards are outrageously overpriced! L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

FYI: I had problems with a SanDisk 64gb card which would only record every 5 seconds and miss the next 5 so I swapped that out for a Samsung one and that worked perfectly. The SanDisk then worked in another device but not on the Blackvue. Both cards were the same class etc.

Heard of issues with SanDisk ones not formatting & compatibility issues with Blackvue.

I got a 128gb Kingston high endurance card. Specifically for dash cams. Was about £27.

Camera is set to parking mode with a power magic pro so constantly on. Currently has about 5 days of footage as I only changed it last week. I'm adding the rear camera soon so will reduce the time.

Will see how it goes & if it lasts a year for the price I can buy 5 years worth of cards compared to the blackvue one!!
