At the time I bought a Thinkware-branded card, but SanDisk now sells their own High Endurance cards specifically for use in dashcams and the like. There are different ways to design the flash memory in an SD card, and higher speed cards typically have a flash structure that makes them wear out much more quickly. A dashcam card doesn't need rear/write speeds of many hundreds of MB/s, so the architecture can be optimized for longevity and durability, rather than high speed. Notice the SanDisk High Endurance cards only have read/write speeds of 20 Mb/s, vs their Extreme Pro cards, which read at 275 Mb/s.

I think you misunderstood. In my configuration there is no parking mode, it is simply always on, this continuous use was the cause of the SD card degradation. It would last around 6-8 hours with the car off.
