You can increase the capacity of your microSD card up to a certain maximum. Below we list the camera by brand, model, and the maximum capacity. All cameras are compatible with microSD cards with the specific max size limits listed below but should not use a card smaller than 16GB in capacity. Please be sure to format the card in-camera before use.
Removing the Installed microSD Card
If you already have a card installed in your camera, remove the SD card by pressing firmly on the edge of the SD card that is visible in the slot to push it further into the slot. There will be a click, and the SD card will pop out on release. Extract the card and replace as necessary by inserting a card into the slot and pressing until it locks in place.
Upgrade Considerations
If you are upgrading, purchasing a UHS Speed 1 Class 10 high-endurance card from reputable brands is recommended for constant video recording of a dash camera. Please look for the below marks on your camera.
- Card Capacity (Example: 32 Gigabytes)
- UHS-Speed 1
- Speed Class10
NOTE While some customers have had success with U-3 cards, we do not recommend them as we have found them to be problematic. If you are using a U-3 card and your camera is misbehaving, switch to a U-1 card and see if the problem persists. If the problem resolves itself, the U-3 card was incompatible with the camera.
NOTE For all cameras, do not use a card with a capacity smaller than 16GB.

Loop recording eliminates the need for large SD cards. However, if the camera continues recording after an incident, save the footage as soon as possible because unlocked video around the incident may be overwritten. Please note that regular formatting 1-2 times a month can improve the lifespan of the card.
