Dash cams have found a place in the consumer’s daily life as a handy means of documenting those beautiful or worst moments behind the steering wheels that act as full-proof video evidence and become an integral part of their journey. All dash cams typically require a memory card, mostly SD (Secure Digital) or microSD card to store recorded footage. Without a memory card, the camera would not have any place to save the recordings, making the device essentially useless. Virtually all dash cams use SD (Secure Digital) cards, but most are gravitating toward microSD cards. Even if your dash-cam only takes SD cards, an SD adapter allows the use of microSD.
A SD (Secure Digital) card is a small, portable storage device that is often used in devices such as cameras, dash cams, smartphones, and tablets to store data such as photos, videos, and music. They are useful because they provide a way to easily transfer data between devices and store data when the device's internal storage is full. Additionally, they can be removed and replaced with a larger card or stored separately as a backup.
A microSD is a miniature version of SD cards that used in smaller electronic devices, though with an adapter the microSD card can be used in any SD card slots.
SD cards for dash cams are specially designed to withstand the high temperature and vibration in a car, and to handle the constant recording and overwriting of footage that occurs in a dash cam.
A dash cam continuously records video footage while the car is in use, and therefore requires a large and fast SD card to store the recorded footage. A larger SD card allows for more footage to be stored before needing to be overwritten, and a faster SD card ensures that the dash cam can quickly save footage without interruption or delay. Additionally, a fast SD card also ensures that the dash cam can record high-resolution and high-frame-rate footage without any lag.
Additionally, they also have a high write speed, which is important for recording high-definition video and ensuring that the footage is saved quickly and without interruption.
Having an SD card also allows for the ease of removing the card and viewing the footage on a computer, or backing up the footage in case of an accident, which is one of the main reasons why dash cams are used.
