Micro SD Card Guide
Using a suitable and compatible SD card is essential to your camera
functioning correctly. There are various branded and unbranded cards that are
not suitable for use in safety style cameras that have the loop record
function. Ideally please select a durable card that has been designed
specifically for dashcam/safety camera use. The ‘Integral Security’ Micro SD
Card (Image Below) is our recommended choice for great quality and value for
money. The Integral cards are suitable with any Techalogic Camera.
Warning: Techalogic customers report a high level of issues with the Sandisk range of cards with our cameras and we advise that these be avoided. As a guide the DC-2 Pro will store below on the different size SD Cards
