| STANDARD DISCLAIMER |
| BlackVue dashcams are optimized for use with BlackVue-branded or verified compatible SD cards. Use of third-party SD cards may result in recording instability and is not covered under warranty. |
Key:
- Minimum capacity sold/supported is typically 32GB or 64GB depending on generation
- The minimum hardware requirement for BlackVue dashcams is a Class 10 or U1 microSD card (U3 for X series), formatted in FAT32 on Windows or MS-DOS (FAT) on macOS
-
Higher capacity means more recording time before the dashcam overwrites older footage

Two important caveats to share with customers:
First, 512GB support on older X series models (DR590X, DR770X, DR970X Plus) requires the latest firmware — some units shipped with packaging showing 256GB max but are fully capable of 512GB after a firmware update.
Second, for SD cards over 64GB, use BlackVue Viewer to ensure they are formatted as FAT32, as some operating systems default to exFAT which is not supported by all dashcam models.
