NO. Not definitely for security cameras.
For security cameras, dash cams, and any use case where the card is going to be continuously written to (or written to A LOT): do yourself a favor and buy an endurance type of microSD card.
Examples:
-Samsung Pro Endurance
-SanDisk High Endurance
-SanDisk Max Endurance
-Kingston High Endurance
These cards are designed for thousands, and in some cases 10's of thousands of hours of recording. Some (all?) will have some sort of wear leveling, to ensure the cards are evenly worn throughout their write life.
SanDisk marketing speak:
"Designed to record for up to 40,000 hours1, the SanDisk® High Endurance microSD™ UHS-I card gives you the peace of mind that your dash cam and homemonitoring security systems will capture crucial footage when it happens, recording and re-recording worry-free."
Samsung marketing speak:
"Varies by capacity: 256GB model up to 140,160 hours, 128GB model up to 70,080 hours, 64GB model up to 35,040 hours, 32GB model up to 17,520 hours. Based on Full HD(1920x1080) video content recorded at 26Mbps (3.25MB/s). Actual continuous recording time may vary depending on battery capacity of camera."
Say you have a brutal commute, 3 hours/day. And then drive 3 hours/day on weekends. 21 hours/week, 1,092 hours/year. Buy a 128GB SanDisk "High Endurance" card, and you have ~9 years of recording, in theory. Divide that by TWO, ~4.5 years. At that point, you can just buy a new card and start again.
Why take a chance? Dash cam footage can mean the difference between being held liable (even if only partially) in a car crash. OR, you can provide the insurance companies with footage that absolves you 100%. It happened to me. I was rear-ended so hard that I hit the car in front of me. Who could I prove that I DIDN'T hit the car in front first? EASY: I emailed them the video --> DONE. 100% proof that I came to a stop with room, and then the stupid *sshole behind me f*cked two other people over that morning.
Personally I've been using Samsung Endurance cards for years. Same for other family members. Zero issues in Garmin dash cams.
Will this ImageMate card work? Sure, it'll work, until it doesn't. Same as a squash racquet will work for playing tennis, right? That is until it doesn't, because the ball punched a hole through the strings because it wasn't designed for that.

Associate had to bring me to front and a manager had to ring me up in order to price match their website, as in-store prices are still $55ish.
I grabbed 3 of these, great deal.
