New BlackVue 256GB MicroSD card is now available

BlackVue just introduced the 256GB microSD card to the lineup. Can your BlackVue dashcam supports 256GB microSD card?

New V-Nand 256GB microSD card

The new high-capacity 256GB microSD doubles the recording time for your BlackVue dashcam as compared to the 128GB model. It is compatible with all the following dashcams in the BlackVue lineup: 

• DR900S-1CH/2CH/2CH IR
• DR750S-1CH/2CH/2CH IR/2CH TRUCK
• DR590W-1CH/2CH/2CH IR
• DR590-1CH/2CH/2CH IR

Please note regarding compatibility with older BlackVue dashcam models: although it may seem to work, we cannot fully guarantee compatibility and performance with older models. 

We recommend using BlackVue microSD cards for our dashcams for optimal performance.
The reason is that dashcams put microSD cards under higher stress than most electronic products such as action cameras or DSLRs 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 third party microSD cards (even branded ones) can affect dashcams' performance and in some cases, force the dashcam to reboot or hang up randomly and the memory card may fail prematurely.

Note: Although the basic requirement of the microSD cards for BlackVue dashcams is Class 10 or U1 and that the SD card should be formatted as FAT32 [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.
Every BlackVue dashcam comes with an original BlackVue microSD card. Please contact us if you have any questions. ​
