How to choose a memory card to the recorder?

What to look for when choosing the card to the registrar?

The modern automobile video can have a variety of operating parameters, they are able to record video in different formats with a resolution of HD to Full HD, and some of the most advanced models, and to 4K. Of course in different quality files will have a different amount, that is, for different devices require different amount of cards.

It is important that the flash drive without any problems could provide uninterrupted recording videos while driving. That is, it must have excellent writing speed. You should also look at the type and format of the card, as different devices are able to operate stably only with specific types of cards.

Let's look at all these options in more detail, to understand the characteristics and the principle of card selecting.

Write Speed

The instructions to the DVRs can often be seen that the device can be operated only with the cards that have the 10th class speed. This suggests that the flash card can record at least a rate of 10 MB/c. However, the actual rate of speed may be much higher. Check this option you can, for example, by means of Check Flash special program.

There are also cards that support the standard Ultra High Speed (UHS) — Modern technology ultrahigh speed processing. Such models can be speed, measured not MB, and has tens of Mb/s. Naturally, the model UHS support, too, is referred to the 10-th class speed.

Therefore, when buying it is necessary to follow this logic:

If the device has a resolution of HD/Full HD, it is best suited card for him with the speed at UHS 1 — 10 Mbit/s.
If you're using a device with QHD/4K recording quality, then there is a need to advanced model having markings UHS 3 — speed of 30 MB/c.

Format

As a general rule, the manufacturer always points in the literature accompanying the format of the device, which it will maintain the &nbsp.; The most commonly used types are the following:

SD (Secure Digital) — They have a size of 24 x 32 mm, most often they are used in video cameras, laptops and other techniques.
microSD — These models smaller their size is 11 x 15 mm, designed for vidoregistratorov, smartphones, tablets, music players and many other.

It is best to take out the microSD card that is included is an additional special adapter for SD size. In this case, you can use one card slots of various sizes.

Before you buy should also be taken into account and other details. After microSD are divided into three subtypes, which are very difficult to distinguish externally, it is:

microSD — a classic Alternatively, have a volume of from 2 to 4 GB, are now used rarely.
microSDHC — a new format, which has high capacity from 4 to 32 GB.
microSDXC — the most advanced, have super-high capacity — more than 32, now you can find options for volume, even in 2 TB.

MicroSDHC cards are often recorded at a rate of not less than 30 MB/s. That is, they are ideal if you need a quick and capacitive storage module, for the Registrar, who writes with great video resolution pictures.

It is also worth bearing in mind that each new generation is backwards compatible with all earlier. That is, if the DVR is a microSDXC cards, you can safely use it in the memory module is a new generation microSDHC. No problem, everything will work. But in the opposite direction, unfortunately, does not work. It is therefore important to explore all in advance and know exactly what format the card is required for the normal operation of your DVR.

The memory capacity

As we have noted previously, the effect on the amount of memory card type. In particular, microSDHC cards have a volume of no more than 32 GB and microSDXC of 32 to 256 GB or more.

When choosing the right option should be to build on the recommendations of video fixation device manufacturer. But it is also worth considering that there is traced a pattern: the lower the quality and resolution of the video, the smaller the amount of memory you need. A device for recording required with ultra kachestvom card with a large amount.

For example, when a volume of 32 GB card easily fits to 160 minute recording as Full HD and up to 120 — when recording as 4K.

In addition, if the DVR has a built-in GPS, and every video superimposed additional information: speed, location, etc., which make the movie much more difficult, then there is also need additional memory.
