and systems that varies between batches. As such the performance of
memory cards from non-known manufacturers cannot be guaranteed
and recommended by us.
Requirements for card specifications:

as the card can be formatted to FAT32 file system

B. How to Format a New SD Card Using Your PC
If you have just purchased a New SD Card to use with the Dash Cam,
we recommend attempting to format it on your computer first even
though in most of the time the new card is completely empty.
Some new SD Cards have files from the manufacturer and they also
need to be formatted.
Follow the instructions below to format the SD card on your computer.
