Memory cards for surveillance camera

The recommended capacity depends on the desired recording duration and your camera's resolution. For standard use (a few days of continuous recording in Full HD), a 32 GB or 64 GB card is often sufficient. If you need longer recordings or 4K, opt for 128 GB or more.

microSD cards are the most common for surveillance cameras. Make sure to check the specific compatibility of your camera model (e.g., microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC) and its speed class.

The speed class indicates the minimum write speed of the card. For surveillance cameras, a high speed class (like V30 or U3) is crucial to ensure smooth and continuous video recording, especially at high resolutions, without interruptions or data loss.

The main difference lies in storage capacity. microSDHC cards have a capacity of up to 32 GB, while microSDXC cards can store more than 32 GB, up to several terabytes. Most modern cameras are compatible with both formats.

While some standard cards may work, it is strongly recommended to use memory cards specifically designed for surveillance cameras (often labeled 'surveillance' or 'endurance'). These cards are optimized for continuous and intensive writing, offering better durability and reliability over time.

Reputable brands known for their reliability in this field include Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston, and Lexar. We offer a selection of cards from these recognized brands for their performance and durability.
