Slightly stupid question.... (what SD card do I get for PDR?)

[Seth]

I think the owners manual says "Fat32 Class 10" which.. well, I don't know what that means. Can someone link me?

Thanks!

Pretty much all of them can be formatted as such - takes a minute to slot them into your laptop, format it and go - I went with a 2 pack of these, as IIRC the Cadillac manual suggested a max size, so I passed on getting a 128

SanDisk Ultra PLUS microSD Card 32GB - Office Depot

If you need speed and storage space for your device look to this microSD card. The card offers fast transfer speeds and is designed to work with Android smartphones and tablets helping keep your photos and videos safe.

This is 480p quality for an example (this is when I first tried it out during break-in period, there's nothing interesting to see past the first few seconds here when I almost hit a buzzard). The high quality is actually pretty good IMHO, but the 480p is fine for daily running and to have proof of any dodgy bikers and the like.

There was another thread on this somewhere... Someone suggested the 128gb version of this card as there is a way around the fat32. I bought this on Amazon and it works as i tested it.

Here's the thread which has some good related info:

PSA Regarding CT5 Blackwing SD Cards for PDR and Surround Vision Recorder

I suggested those new Samsung cards as they have the longest ratings for hours of video recording/rewrites (but who knows what you're really getting with $20 consumer electronics?)

Do these cards have to be formatted or can i just pop them in and go... i hv absolutely no idea how to format something, moreover i dont have a computer to format anything... (i sit in front of one for 12hrs a day, no interest in a PC...
Tks gang...

^Straight in. Drop into CVS, Walmart, OfficeMax, etc... and get a half decent one and pop it in the slot. Job done.
I know the manual says ensure format such and such, but typically they are good OTOB, such as the one I linked above.

Next question and forgive me if its been addressed, will it write over itself when its full? Or do we need to do something for that to happen, id like it to just continue recording and wrote over itself

No prob. I forget the default, but yes you can choose in the PDR settings whether you want it to overwrite or fill up and not be able to record any further.
