Why should I buy a Nextbase SD card?
Dash Cams are different from other devices; they record all the time and overwrite old files automatically.
Not every SD card can cope with this.
Why Nextbase SD cards are better
Nextbase SD cards are:
Specially designed for continuous loop recording.
Built to withstand the stress of constant overwriting.
Able to outperform cards made for phones, tablets, or computers in our cameras
What happens if I use the wrong card?
If you use a non-compatible card, you may experience:
SD card error messages
Recording failures
Frozen screen
Gaps in recordings
Corrupted or unplayable files
The camera is stuck on the startup logo
Inoperable buttons
Repetitive “alarm” sounds
Whilst these issues are more common with non-Nextbase cards, they may still happen with unformatted or old Nextbase SD cards.
Do Non-Nextbase cards work at all?
They may seem fine at first, but failures often happen after a few days, weeks, or months.
In the worst case, you may find out the card failed when you need a recording the most - That’s why using the right card is so important.
How many hours of video can an SD card hold?
This depends on the size of the card and the resolution of your camera.
For example, larger cards can hold more hours of video.
