Reddit mentions of Transcend Information 32GB Micro Card with Adapter (TS32GUSDHC10V)

No shit! Evasive maneuver +100!

Is that Yi Dashcam still like $50? That thing is really good for its' price.

EDIT: Yup still $50. If you don't have a dashcam, get this one as a starter if you're tight on money. Just make sure you get a high endurance SD card (I like Transcend, but others make them also, these have just been bulletproof for me).

This is why I'm glad I just picked up a dashcam.. Columbus idiots out in full force this morning...

Edit.. because some asked.. It's a VIOFO A119S with a Transcend 32gb card. Mounted to windshield.

I have an A119 in the truck and every car I own. $90 on Amazon. It's nice and slim and works without any issues. I leave it on 24/7, it has motion detection so it won't record if nothing is moving for hours.

Make sure your get a high endurance card, not just an SD card. Most of the time it's actually the card that craps out, not the camera.

As others have stated, the A119 is awesome. Optional GPS and the video quality is top notch. If you want it on even when your car is off, you'll have to get a fuse adapter which you'll need to hardwire into your car. Relatively simple but requires some grunt work. Otherwise, you can run the USB cable to your cigarette lighter by removing the paneling around your windshield. Simple in every car though it can appear daunting. I went the cigarette lighter route and it took me all of 3 hours to get the whole thing installed. Make sure you get SpyTec though. The hardware is sold by a third party manufacturer and rebranded by several sellers. SpyTec has the best customer support and they use a little better housing. Also, make sure you get a high endurance micro sd made for being written over several hundred times before burning out. You'll want to replace it once a year depending on how much you drive. I use this guy. Enjoy the peace of mind!

Worth mentioning, some people will tell you not to get the GPS because you can incriminate yourself if you were speeding. But the police can pull your speed based on the road dashes, so you're gonna get nicked either way. So don't base your decision off that.

You should look for a high endurance MLC card. I personally have a 32gb trancend high endurance card which I managed to get for $33 so you might be able to find a better deal than the $40 it's currently going for. But you will have to spend more for the increased endurance.

MLC cards have two bits of memory per cell. TLC cards have three bits of memory per cell.

TLC cards are more dense and therefore cheaper to produce but lack the endurance that you want for something that is constantly recording and being over written.

This article goes much more indepth but is a little more focused on SSDs than micro sds but it's the same silicon tech.

Why do you want such a wide angle lens? 170 will Fish Eye horribly and will definitely distort distance.

I suggest: Best value: Xiaomi Yi Dashcam - On sale ($50 USD)

Heat/cold might be an issue being lithium ion. No parking mode. Great day vision, Great night vision, excellent Wide Dynamic Range. 165 ultra wide-angle will fish eye, making it harder to capture license plates, but not as much as you were asking for. Adhesive mount comes with it, but you can buy other accessories to mount to rear view mirror or other locations.

Here is a few reviews on the Xiamo Yi: Car Cam Central Techmoan

BTW micro SD card - Transcend High Endurance - Do not buy SanDisk

Sena Prism Tube

Cheap, simple, easy to mount. There's no settings. 1080p @ 30fps. Turn it on and go. Just do the firmware update to get loop recording.

Oh, and get a memory card that's designed for continuous recording. Dash/helmet cams kill regular memory cards in a few months.

Compré la más popular en /r/Dashcam – VIOFO A119 v2 más la lente polarizada para no grabar la reflexión del interior de auto y microSD de alta resistencia (por las temperaturas dentro del auto). La uso en el modo 1080p 30fps y la calidad de videos es super buena durante el día – puedo ver todos los números en las placas de otros autos.

Some new cards like (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BDKTQY6)[Transcend's High Endurance] have MLC NAND which is designed to endure higher writes. They are good for things like dash cams which do loop recording, so I'd assume work better for log files too.

1. Transcend High Endurance Micro sd card, the silver colored cards that are designed for dvr and dashcam use.
   
2. 1440, 30fps for slightly better res to see plates.
   
3. the camera itself can move on two axes, so it will work pretty much anywhere you stick it.
   
4. • I own four of these and I love them. Started with a single a118c, and moved that to rear view duty, using the 4 119c's as primary front views on 3 cars and on one as a rear view. Get the GPS module and a dedicated power supply like a rio-rand usb voltage converter if you plan to hardwire it. The gps module allows you to slide the camera on and off without touching the power cable since it connects first to the GPS module. Also get the capacitor model, The "C" since it is less prone to long term battery expansion issues in high heat environments.

Lexar cards are garbage now. The company was dissolved and the name was sold and is now manufactured by crappy Chinese companies that care only about the name.

You want to use micro SD cards that use MLC technology. The old TLC standard does not work as well and cannot take the harsh conditions or constant overwriting of files. I recommend the Transcend High Endurance model

If you are on a tight budget you may want to consider the Transcend Premium 400X or the Samsung EVO Select

I got a usb stick with a drive specifically for video cameras. Has worked perfectly ever since.

https://www.amazon.com/d/Micro-Sd-Cards/Transcend-Information-Micro-Adapter-TS32GUSDHC10V/B01BDKTQY6

Makes for a small, neat setup and hasn’t failed once since about two weeks ago when I installed it.

Haha no way I got the A119S too with the gps module that records your location and speed. It records audio very well too.
I bought it last August, worked fine in the winter when it was super cold out because it doesn't use a battery.

For storage I got a Transcend 32GB High Endurance microSD card. From the little research I did they cost a little more than a normal SD card but are better for dash cams and such.

I'm satisfied with the purchase myself for $158 total it was a very fair price and the quality is good enough at 1080 60fps, wide enough to see drivers next to you, catches enough light at night or during snow/rainstorms to see license plates I have no complaints. Would be nice to have one facing out the back now though in case someone rear ends you or something.

Search me on Utube to see videos from my A119. Mine is mounted to my Mirror, I live in Arizona and replace the windshield ever 2 years or sooner. My is plugged into cig lighter but i have a very large battery. its so small and will record with screen off so drain would be minimal, My Recommends as being the owner of my second one.

1. setting it to record on motion, instead of recording all the time.
   
2. get the Transcend card 32gb High Endurance Burned Sandisk HD after 8 months of constant recording.
   
3. pay the extra $12 for the Warranty because chance's are it wont last more then 2yrs
   
4. Dont worry about removing the filter you live in LA it never gets that dark there.
   
5. Get it with the GPS unit, Win10 has a problem recognizing card formats, So I just remove camera from GPS unit and plug it into my pc it turns into a Mass storage unit. and you can pull the videos off easily. Also makes it easy to update firmware.
   
6. Format SD in Camera, Then Format SD card every 60 days after that in camera

The other is still running in the utility, but I noticed the bytes are different in it.

I know nothing about sd cards. I've read a couple sites talking about different speeds and such but I still really don't understand it all. I was wanting this one which was highly recommended for dash cameras but it's out of stock.

https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Information-Endurance-microSD-TS32GUSDHC10V/dp/B01BDKTQY6/

While on Amazon, I found these but I am not sure about them since they are fulfilled by Amazon, and not sold by Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E0918J8

I guess I have some more reading to do.

These ones?

Transcend high endurance is what you want. You will void the warranty on Sandisks for using them in a dashcam.

MLC or multi layer cell has two bits of data storage per physical cell. TLC has three per cell. TLC is more dense and therefore cheaper to produce but it can not handle being constantly written to for hours on end.

Not sure if it's the same as /u/Derrits, but I use this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C89GCHU

also, use a high endurance sd card like this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BDKTQY6

I'm a little late to this thread, but I think I'm having the same issue. Sometimes when my A118C starts up, instead of going to the main screen and starting recording, I get this blue popup as if I'm trying to format my SD card. If I select "cancel", it won't record until I restart it.

I'm using a Transcend 32GB High Endurance card. I've formatted the card a few times before. The last time I used h2testw to test the card, it was fine.

edit: my A118C is a Viofo as well.

I've got the THINKWARE TW-F50 and it's been great. But listen to what /u/ChickenPotPi said and get a better SD card. This is the one I have.

Not too sure haven't picked one out myself, but my only recommendation is to not cheap out on it.

Edit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BDKTQY6/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1YAK8U7QV5H1E

I found this one to be pretty competitive with the market offerings and price point.

There's actually a few different models of the A119, see this link for a comparison: https://support.viofo.com/support/solutions/articles/19000083285-the-difference-between-a119-a119s-and-a119-pro

The main difference is that the A119S model has a better sensor for night time, otherwise the A119/Pro are both solid choices.

I went with the A129 only because it can output 1920 x 1080P for both the front and rear cams.
You can check the specs for the A129 here: https://www.viofo.com/home/79-72-a129-duo-dual-channel-5ghz-wi-fi-full-hd-dash-camera.html

The only thing with Viofo dash cams is that the mobile app is a bit odd. I can only get the live view (on iOS - can't speak for Android) to work when I am connected to a VPN connection for some reason. I have been e-mailing support about this and it would appear they are working on this problem, but I've not heard anything back form them in some time. For playback though the app works fine.

Hope this helps!

Edit: You should also get a good quality SD card. These ones are made for high-endurance applications like dash cams: https://www.amazon.ca/Transcend-Information-Endurance-microSD-TS32GUSDHC10V/dp/B01BDKTQY6/ref=pd_sbs_147_5/147-1825319-3019317?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01BDKTQY6&pd_rd_r=78ff2d67-5d65-11e9-a945-818b360be682&pd_rd_w=0cTMY&pd_rd_wg=NccmY&pf_rd_p=5dcda75b-8643-4da3-9bb1-5c0233790500&pf_rd_r=TSW2VXJM7GXD357FVRPG&psc=1&refRID=TSW2VXJM7GXD357FVRPG

The transcend high endurance 64GB is a bit more than the Sandisk you linked. $54 shipped BNIB. Here is a link for the 32GB that I am selling

$21.79 BNIB shipped

The high endurance cards vary in price.

Every card I’ve purchased (2x Samsung EVO, 2x SanDisk Ultra, 2x Transcend Premium) has failed in a year or less except the Transcend High Endurance. Get the lower capacity if money’s tight, less footage is better than no footage due to card error.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BDKTQY6/

From what I'm reading Sandisk Ultra isn't recommended but Transcend High Endurance are. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01BDKTQY6/?sa-no-redirect=1
