This High Endurance is good for 20,000 hours or 833 days. The Sandisk will give you 13 years and Samsung will give you 16 years. Both of those will outlive your camera but the High Endurance card may crap out prematurely.

Of course there will be a few people with anecdotal evidence that a particular brand or model didn't work for them, but I don't believe that just because that one person had a defective product that that is the norm, or that I'm somehow super lucky to have this great track record with Samsung microSD (and regular SD) cards as just about everyone I know who has also used Samsung cards has had similar experiences to mine, and so have most people in the review sections of every major retailer I've looked at, so chances are Samsung cards should be pretty reliable and work well for you too.
On the topic of fake cards from Amazon, out of the 14 or 15 separate orders I've placed over a 20yr period, I've only gotten 1 fake batch around 2016 when I ordered 2 Samsung 64GB Pro cards but Amazon refunded those immediately and I got a new batch within 2 days which were authentic. All my orders were sold by Amazon and shipped by Amazon, so there are definitely some fake cards in Amazon's stockpiles, but I haven't noticed it being a common occurrence, and I also haven't heard of anyone I know getting a high percentage of fake Samsung cards from Amazon either, so calculating from my experience and data which I have personally collected from a fairly wide audience over the past 20yrs or so, it seems like Amazon ships a fake microSD card to maybe 1 out of 20 people, or 5% of their sales (which is 5% higher than it should be if they did any sort of quality inspections or held their vendors accountable for sending them fake stock) but I'm fine taking a 5% chance and I will continue to buy them from Amazon for the convenience and ease since I can easily return a fake card if they send me another one.
The seller doesn't matter because Amazon comingles their own inventory with the inventory form 3rd party sellers in their FBA warehouses. As long as the barcode matches the genuine item then Amazon will send a 3rd party's unit to the buyer regardless of what the shipped/sold says on the item's detail page. I've heard of people getting game console boxes with the correct UPC barcode but receiving items in the box that are the same weight as a genuine game console. But since AZ warehouses don't inspect the items inside boxes the only thing for them to go on is weight and UPC. And Amazon will not reimburse sellers when this happens, so sellers must lose the money on items they send in even if that seller sends genuine stuff. Despite this risk many sellers continue to use comingled inventory because it saves them time when preparing shipments to the FBA warehouses.

After wasting so much money on Sandisk, Sony, and Kingston, that cannot handle security and dash cam, I stick with Samsung. Never had any failures on cards even made before the endurance. They work fine for any other application where it's not write heavy, just not those 2 even if they cna handle the speed or made for it.
This High Endurance is good for 20,000 hours or 833 days. The Sandisk will give you 13 years and Samsung will give you 16 years. Both of those will outlive your camera but the High Endurance card may crap out prematurely.
I have never tried other microSDXC cards. I'm going to get a better and larger capacity (256 GB) storage. This High Endurance sounds like a good deal.
