SanDisk launches new microSD cards designed for 24/7 use in dash cams and security cameras

SanDisk has unveiled a fresh line of microSD cards tailored for 24/7 use in dash cams and security cameras. The newly launched Guardian Series cards are constructed to withstand continuous recording for prolonged periods, ensuring maximum reliability in critical applications. (Source: SanDisk)

The microSD card, designed to be compatible with various dash cams, has undergone rigorous testing to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, moisture, and humidity - conditions commonly encountered within a vehicle's interior. For dash cams equipped with 4K front and rear video recording, a microSD card must possess superior performance capabilities.

The SanDisk Dash Cam card boasts read speeds of up to 100MB/s and write speeds of 40MB/s, which, while not the fastest available in the market, should suffice for the most demanding 4K dash cams. (Source: SanDisk)

Capacity choices for the Dash Cam card span from 32GB priced at $22.99/£20.99 to 512GB available at $149.99/£150.99. All capacities are presently purchasable. Meanwhile, the SanDisk Security Cam card is engineered to endure even more demanding conditions, as it is rated to sustain up to 4 years of continuous recording. This feature proves advantageous for cameras that store footage locally, but it also serves as a valuable backup solution for cloud cameras in the event of internet connectivity issues.

The Security Cam card also matches the Dash Cam card's performance, delivering 100MB/s read and 40MB/s write rates, making it suitable for high-resolution 4K recording. Like its counterpart, it is designed to endure harsh outdoor environments, including extreme temperatures and humidity. Capacity alternatives for the Security Cam card mirror those of the Dash Cam card, ranging from 32GB to 512GB, with identical pricing. SanDisk Security Cam microSD cards are currently available, accompanied by a 2-year limited warranty.
