Action cameras and camcorders
For the action camera to fulfill its functions, apart from meeting the physical requirements it must meet certain technical specifications like high resolution and frame rate of the recorded video. Currently available action cameras can record 4K resolution movies and capture 240 frames per second videos. Similar capabilities are offered by the most recent dashcams available on the market. The most desirable features of these devices are their high build quality, smoothness of recording and ability to store large amounts of data.
A dashcam should capture the image in a continuous manner, which involves the device to operate for many hours, without any interruption.
In order to meet the needs of users, the device as well as memory card it was equipped with, must provide exceptional operating parameters. Fast transfer speed and high write endurance (that is crucial for dashcams) are just one of the features expected from these cards.
