Reddit mentions of Samsung PRO Endurance 64GB 100MB/s (U1) MicroSDXC Memory Card with Adapter (MB-MJ64GA/AM)

Actually, what OP wants is a "high endurance" card. They are made specifically to take the constant temperature changes and overwriting of recordings. Regular cards don't hold up in dash cams at all, and it makes people think the cams are shit. You just need to use the proper card.

I use this one and it's good: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B9KTLJZ/

Additionally, I use a set with dual cameras, and it works great: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075S7W6FR/

I consider Sandisk microSD cards to be cheap and unreliable. Ive been using Samsung Endurance cards with always recording the past 6 months without issues in my 6 wyze cams:

Idk I buy the more expensive samsung endurance cards for my a119. I would trust that one a lot more than this for longevity. Been using mine for 7 months so far and no issues.

Ive heard people have had success with an SD card instead of a USB flash drive. Some SD cards are specifically made for dashcams with very high write cycles

The general consensus seems to be that your money is better spent buying a high-endurance microSD card meant for dashcam use and a USB adapter to plug into the car.

You might think to just use a thumb drive, and the owner's manual says so, but many report their devices failing quickly due to environmental factors inside the car. You don't want to have an accident only to find out your drive was dead.

I bought a 64GB Samsung PRO Endurance card and an Anker USB 3.1 memory card reader for my Model 3. To view the videos I use a USB dongle to connect the card reader to my phone and then use this app to view them on my phone.

I am currently using this one . Video quality is pretty good and you can see the footage on its mobile app. It's by Anker.

I would also recommend getting an endurance card rather than normal sd card. Like this one.

My response is probably tl;dr, lol. But I made the response more detailed because of your continued interest and because I wish I had this info available to me prior to purchasing dashcams.

Have you had any overheating issues? No, never had this issue with the 55's and I used to drive rideshare on average of 30+ hrs per week in the scorching summer months of LA. Although, I don't know for certain if the dashcam 25's had a notification that states "overheating" or something like that; however, my 25's did fail repeatedly and may/may not have been as a result of me not using the original manufacturer charging cables. Having a dashcam from a reputable manufacturer, like I commented before, has its advantages like customer service, firmware updates, replacements, reputation etc.

Example: When my 25's failed, Garmin stiffed me by sending out refurbs and those had the same issues. So, I played my hand by going through the Dept of Consumer Affairs and the District Attorney's office because they would fail mid-drive and so I stated this was due to poor manufacturing and dangerous as it is a distraction and failure to record in case an incident did occur. They contacted Garmin and I got a call from a personal number of a Garmin rep that does damage control. I sent them the failed 25's and after they tested them, they sent me brand new 55's free of charge. Of course, I had to show them proofs of purchase of the 25's.

Do you have lane departure and forward collision turned off because of false readings? I do not have it switched off. Whatever helps keep me focused on the road is helpful. You may think, "well, it takes your focus off the road", but I don't really look at those notifications; I only listen for them. I use them to let me know that something of crucial importance is happening in front of or around me and so I focus more acutely on the road rather than the notifications themselves.

I've never tried other dashcams outide og the Garmin 25 and 55, but, whatever dashcam you are going to go with, make sure you do not plug them into the basic usb charging ports. I've personally had issues with those ports not providing enough power and the dashcams failing as a result. My '14 corolla has only 1 lighter port, but I have 2 dashcams and my phone plugged in and passengers phones when I used to drive rideshare, so I bought this to remedy the issue and haven't had problems since: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078HMYV7G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I haven't tried hardwiring them into the car's fuse box. Maybe i will, maybe I won't. Don't know as of yet.

Also, dashcams have a high overwrite frequency that lends to reduced life spans/reduced memory of sd cards causing them to suddenly stop recording mid-drive, so go with these and they should remedy that problem: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B9KTLJZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Imo, as driver distractions have increased over the past 5 years with smart phones, in-car apps, etc, dashcams are crucial for everyone. Think about it, as driver accidents go up, insurance companies profits go down as a result of them having to fork over money for repairs, so they are constantly trying to absolve themselves of financial responsibility by concluding that both parties are responsible for collisions, therefore, reducing their expenses as a result of insured parties paying their deductibles. If drivers had video evidence, i.e. dashcams, drivers would instantly save on the cost of their dashcams in case of collisions. Car manufacturers may eventually build dashcams into cars as a result of consumer demand, but they'd face some backlash from insurance companies because of potential collusion. I think I'll post about this just for fun.

I have this exact dashcam. Highly recommend.

This is the memory card I have. Don’t buy a 128gb for this dashcam. Doesn’t work very well.

Whoops, looks like my adapter is indeed Sandisk but the card I got was actually Samsung. Again, haven’t had these in long enough to speak to longevity, but they’ve been working well in the short term.

I am curious to see who suggested to you that it's a "flat out lie" when stuff like this exists:

• https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Endurance-64GB-Micro-Adapter/dp/B07B9KTLJZ
  
  Made *specifically* for dashcam recording.
  
  ​
  
  Let me ask you this -- is there a dashcam-rated USB stick? even high-endurance for that matter?

Samsung Endurance Pro.

It's been a couple weeks since I formatted the card.

Thanks, I already tossed the card assuming it's not fixable.
Is it only the ones with "high endurance" stamp on it, or are there others, I'll just pick up this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B9KTLJZ/

Samsung or Sandisk?

This is the card I bought. Works flawlessly.

This one is a good deal, make sure you pair it with a 64gb memory card from Samsung.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Endurance-64GB-Micro-Adapter/dp/B07B9KTLJZ

these are probably the best cards currently. they aren't a lot more expensive than other regular cards, but are designed specifically for long term recording. sandisk and transcend cards are not recommended anymore. They might have their own high endurance cards for dash cams too though, but these samsung ones just dropped in price few months ago and are a good deal.

I'd personally go 64gb since you can record continously for up to 30 hours before overwriting (depending on fps settings). See this link for breakdown on recording times:

https://www.blackvue.com/video-quality-settings-and-recording-time/

I have these two and they are great. I prefer the Samsung though since I believe they make better cards than Sandisk. Also, you will need to use the blackvue windows viewer app to format to FAT32 before using.

Viofo A129 with rear camera is $200 all in with hardwire kit and is one of the better, cheaper cameras out there (Includes CPL filters to reduce glare). You can read license plates with it and it doesn't get as susceptible to heat distortion like other cameras do. Also, get a High Endurance SD Card that can handle high temperatures.

I have the A119V2 and it's pretty great so far - I wish I had actually waited for the A129 to come out because it has Wi-Fi to download videos direct to phone instead of using a computer (i.e. you can show cops the person who hit your car right away or that Biomom was the instigator instead of fiddling with a USB adapter or plugging it into a computer or looking at it on the 1" screen.)

That one or the newer model of the same name should work fine. SanDisk and Samsung (their high endurance card here) are pretty trustworthy, unless you get a fake from Amazon :/

Really? That’s where I bought mine...
