Which SD card

Depending on the dashcam that message could also mean it's too large or too fast.... it can't read the sd card properly and so gives a vague error message.

If it actually needs a faster card though stop buying so cheap and get a samsung evo.

That one is decent, just search for another place that has stock, takealot have, but they might not be the cheapest
Double the price of that evo, but double+ the speed according to benchmarks

Write speeds are important

Dashcams use MicroSD cards.

@marine1 This will sort you out;

Not true. There is no thing as a SD card which is too fast, and if the capacity is too high, it will read what it can for the file system supported - in most cases it will read the full capacity.

Some very early FAT32 only devices would only read up to 32GB, but even if you bought a 128GB card and formatted it FAT32 for the device, it will still see 32GB of available storage. This is largely irrelevant nowadays, and all high capacity cards will work.
 
It's not the card itself that's the problem, it's the device. Devices have always had theoretical limits, earlier devices would only read up to 32mb (not gb) others only up to 2GB and so on. Bad firmware will always potentially be an issue.

There is also 32GB limit, as it is a capacity limit of SDHC. In other words the controller must be compatible with SDXC to be able to see 64GB cards or above. To complicate things, some 32GB cards are SDXC, these cards will not work in older SDHC devices.
 
Dunno about the speed requirements. but I bought 2 cheap mico SD's from gearbest @ R60
