About microSD Cards
Note that we recommend using ROVE Ultimate Micro SD Card for optimal performance.
The reason is that dashcam's put micro SD cards under higher stress than most electronic products such as action cameras or DSLR's due to their constant loop recording. We test our cards extensively before selecting them for inclusion in our products, to make sure that their performance is good and degrades as little as possible over time.
Using other micro SD cards can affect dashcam's performance and in some cases, force the dashcam to reboot randomly during recording. Although the basic requirement of the micro SD cards for ROVE dashcam's is Class 10 or U3 and that the SD card should be formatted [Windows] or MS-DOS (FAT) [Mac OS], we cannot guarantee the perfect performance of cards from other manufacturers, as even cards with same specifications may vary from batch to batch.
