Enter the camera model.
As for the cards it is different but I experience SanDisk from experience, which of course does not mean that you will not get such a card.
Will the camera work outside or at home?
I do not know what this camera is but check the manual which card the maximum support usually the manufacturer gives 32GB but this does not mean that the larger will not come.

Rather, I mean the company that it does not rain after half a year ?camera is outside is not exposed to rain, etc. because it is under the roof. The camera is reolink rlc-410w-5mp. Very good aluminum workmanship, etc. Supports 64gb cards. I am looking for 32gb because registration will be after motion detection. Minute material about 10mb / m

Added after 3 [minutes]:

Sandisk 16gb - 30 PLN and Kingston for the same price 32gb I don't know what will be better.

They are dedicated to monitoring such a :

Proven for operation at temperatures from -25 ° C to + 85 ° C
Read speed: up to 20 MB / s
Write speed: up to 20 MB / s
65zł ~

But if you do not find one, it should be enough and you will see for yourself.

Memory cards have a specified (approximate) number of read / write cycles. Later, various circuses can happen. For example, I have a Navitel car camera and a 64GB SanDisk card in it. The equipment records exactly 13 months and strange actions are already happening. For example, while driving, a message appears that the card must be formatted, or once after saving the file to the SOS folder (event) all recordings have disappeared. Also the only option is to check the recordings on a regular basis. Nobody can give you confidence that the card will work properly for a year, two or more years. As with hard drives - the average time between failures is 114 years???. In practice, it looks like a few good years and the disk sits down (voltage surges, etc.). The CCTV service informs that on average about 6 months of continuous work on the card and it is virtually discarded.

Apparently, cards with mlc and not slc can withstand a lot more cycles


I wonder how much truth is in it and whether it is better not to buy

for half the money and change more often.
Maybe someone tried and knows what it looks like?

Cameras working outside are exposed to high and low temperatures, the same applies to driving recorders, so it may be better to buy the dedicated card mentioned above and have a little more confidence that it comes longer than an ordinary card not adapted to work in changing weather conditions. The decision is yours anyway.

Recorders should not use memory cards based on TLC modules, as they are very unreliable in the case of loop recording devices. And this kind of recording we have in recorders. The recorders use cards based on MLC modules, adapted to multiple overwriting and thus much more durable. The TLC card in the recorder falls after about a year of use and even if I do not know what the company was. When choosing a card, look whether it is adapted for installation in recorders or CCTV cameras or monitoring. Card manufacturers rarely boast that their card has a cheap TLC module, while they write about huge transfers and reading speeds. For the SanDisk Ultra and Extreme cards cited here, the company does not provide warranty if the card was used in the camera or recording device in the loop except for the line Endurance. Therefore, for example, MIO recommends the use of Transcend High Endurance and SanDisk High Endurance cards. You can also use MLC cards from GoodRam M3AA or Adata Premier Pro. I received information from the MIO website (company FIXIT SA O / Krosno) that too fast cards are not recommended for driving recorders, because they can cause excessive heating of the camera, because the motherboard is not designed to operate faster than a class 10 or UHS card 1 U1.
