Dash Cam
Hi Guys
I just had Lexus Dash cam installed on my 18 IS350.
I would like to know if anyone is using consumer cards and if yes, what is the performance and if its worth it.
I know that read/write performance is much better on the industrial cards, but if I use 32GB, it will record much longer and the read/write numbers will be pretty much even.
Also, are there any tips/tricks I should be aware of??
Thanks!

I've used these in a Blackvue DR750-2CH (my car) and a Viofo A129 Duo (my wife's SUV).
Overheating is the main culprit for SD card corruption in dashcams. Last year I ended up with a corrupt Blackvue branded SD card and replaced it with the card above. So far so good, we'll see how it goes over the summer though.
Expect to have to replace these periodically and treat them as consumables. Also, good to have a spare in the event one goes corrupt on you.

I hardwired an A129 Duo into my car. Running high endurance Samsung mini SD in mine, the 128GB. Have a pair right now just in case I have a failure, and occasionally I'll pull some footage to archive morons, so it's handy to just be able to power down the cam and swap them out.

It's basically between the way the SD card writes things into memory. You want a MLC based, or basically a high endurance card that has alot more write cycles. I personally have a Lexxar 633x Micro SD card which I bought my dashcam. (highly reccomended TLC card at the time, Lexxar has been discontinued)
When my SD card fails, I'll be moving onto a Trascend High Endurance because it's MLC based. The new samsung pro and pro+ sd cards use v-nand which is supposed to be better than MLC.
IIRC the basic sandisk and the samsung evo line specifically exclude warranty for cctv style recording usage on their cards.
