SD cards corruption

ahhh.

I am the resident SD card nerd around here :slight_smile: in looking those cards up more than likely it is the card itself that is the cause of the corruption. standard SD cards such as those we developed when video recordings weren’t nearly as popular. typically they were made for much smaller files that would be accessed much more intermittently. in fact in standard cards like your but from other companies using them in applications such as our cams will actually void their warranties as they have noted their short comings for these applications.

with the advent of high definition video recording in things like our cams and things like dash cams the need for a much more durable card was born. enter the age of the high endurance cards
high endurance cards are made for the larger files and constant reading and writing. I did a lot of research on this and have in the past been in talks with developers at wyze about this very issue in the use of standard cards with the Wyze family of cams

I did a write up on them a few years ago to see what people use and from that point to now the overall winner was the Samsung pro endurance cards. I have run them for a couple of years now without any issues at all.

more than likely if you were to simply switch to a card of the high endurance persuasion this issue would be gone and wont come back.

I will be trying to get in touch with the devs I had previously talked with and see what can be done as this is a fairly common occurrence and something that by now they should at least have some sort of disclaimer for.
