Which memory card for a security camera?
An IP or WiFi camera records continuously or every time it detects motion. The microSD card is therefore writing non-stop, which wears it out much faster than photo use.
A card designed for this use

Which capacity?
- 32 and 64GB: a few days of footage depending on resolution, after which the camera overwrites the oldest recordings.
- 128GB: a good balance for a Full HD camera recording continuously.
- 256GB: to keep a longer history or film in high resolution.
Check the manual for the maximum capacity the camera accepts. Other uses are in memory cards.
