Have you ever become confused about which memory card is suitable for your dash cam? Whether purchasing online or in physical stores, there's a dizzying array of specifications, including memory capacity, style, and terminology. As a leading brand in this field, Mio is here to help you gain relevant knowledge and key pointers to consider. After reading through this article, you'll definitely gain more understanding of how to pick the right memory card for your dash cam!

1. Capacity
|
|
The larger the capacity of the memory card, the more files can be stored. Especially when high-definition dash cams today create large files that take up more space. Furthermore, dual dash cams with two lenses write files simultaneously, so choosing a memory card with at least 32G is recommended to ensure enough storage capacity.
|
|
Also keep in mind that larger capacities are not always better because more and more files need to be read and overwritten quickly during a long continuous loop recording, which will also cause a burden on system performance. So it still depends on the maximum memory card capacity supported by the dash cam to ensure the best performance!

2. Speed
|
|
The words C10, V30, or U3 on the memory card refer to the writing speed. High-resolution files are larger and require a faster memory card to keep up with the operation of the dash cam, thus avoiding video lagging, stuttering, and even missed recordings. When buying a memory card, check the following suggestions to pick the right one for you.
|
- 1080P resolution: choose C10 (10M/s)
- 4K resolution: choose V30 (30M/s)
|
|
3. Durability
|
|
As mentioned earlier, once the memory card is full, it will enter a continuous loop recording. However, that doesn't mean you can use the same memory card forever! There is still a limit to the number of write cycles on a memory card. Therefore, to ensure the dash cam keeps writing over data for a long time, buying a memory card with high durability is recommended. For example, pick memory cards marked with “High Endurance” on the package!
