Kingston Digital: Endurance microSD Cards

Kingston Digital, Inc., the flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., introduced a new High Endurance microSD card.

It is designed for write-intensive application use such as home security and surveillance cameras, dash cams and body cams.

As write-intensive applications critically depend on reliability and performance, the card provides durability, storage capacity and prolonged endurance to meet the recording demands of security cameras and dash cams.

It stores up to 20,000 hours (1) of seamless video recording in 1,080p HD to capture a reliable record of what happens whether at home or on the road.

The cards are engineered and tested for use in harsh conditions and are durable enough to protect from extreme temperatures, shock, water and x-rays (2). They are a reliable solution to capture critical moments over a long period of time without the risk of compromised or lost data.

“Surveillance footage captured by home security systems and dash cams can prove to be incredibly valuable. Consumers need to feel confident their memory cards are built to withstand extreme conditions while still providing a stable storage solution to capture critical recordings when they need it the most,” said Annette Chan, flash card business manager, Kingston. “Dash cameras in vehicles and security cameras at home are becoming more commonplace and with the addition of our new High Endurance microSD card we’re able to meet the ever-growing demand for capturing hours of video monitoring content while providing high performance, seamless recording and trusted Kingston reliability.”

These cards are available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities and are backed by a 2-year warranty, free technical support and company’s reliability.
