SanDisk Ultra microSD is one of my favourite cards. Owning 64GB card few years back and still kicking until now. Of course, its performance is way slower compare to newer cards nowadays. 128GB SanDisk Ultra A1 microSD is the star today. It is loaded with blazing transfer speeds @ 100MB/s read and support App Performance Class 1 (A1). Does it really that fast? Let’s find out…
Actually, using Sandisk Ultra micro SD in dashcam will void the warranty from Sandisk unless it is the High Endurance range.

Also, it is recommended to avoid using Sandisk Ultra microSD in dashcams as it will die prematurely. I've personally lost 2 Sandisk Ultra micro SD cards in dashcams. 64GB and 128GB.

Use MLC NAND flash type card. Or High Endurance type like blurjoey said.

Best is MLC chip cards but expensive. High Endurance cards are good but max till 64GB.
Budget can consider Samsung Evo Plus but do note that will void the warranty as not for use in dashcam as per their T&C. I don't have any issues with these in my dashcams testings.
Do note most micro SD have lifespans about 2 years or so only.
