Would it be okay if I use a 1tb micro sd card not labeled “high endurance?”
What can happen if I use a regular v30 micro sd card. Will it overheat or cause frames to cut?
Could using regular sd cards damage security camera?
I have a security camera and I am interested in getting a 1tb micro sd card just to have longer history video log. I only see 512gb “high endurance” available. Micron, which their promotion is for security camera is 1.5tb but I don’t see any mention that their product is high endurance. Just stating longer video logs. Sandisk sells 1.5tb as well for an affordable price.
Kioxia stated that they might release a 2tb micro sd card this year.
For now, I just want your opinions on using non-high endurance micro sd card for security camera

There won’t be any damage. Worst case, the video files might get deleted.
SD cards are considered one of the least reliable forms of data storage. They wear out quickly compared to things like SSDs or hard drives.
There can be differences between different SD card brands and manufacturers. Sometimes things labeled “high endurance” can be just a firmware difference in the same physical device. Although, that may offer some improvement.
Overall, most quality SD cards from reputable brands (not the cheapest) work okay. If you’re worried about losing footage, connecting the camera to a local NVR (computer that saves video recordings) is the next step up in reliability.
