YES it is good for security cameras and dashcams, despite what people parrot who keep saying "no you should ONLY use a high endurance card". I've been using the 128GB model of this card in my 2x DOD LS460W dashcams for up to 6 years, recording an average of 4 days per week in extremely hot Vegas weather, with no problems. I also use this exact card in my Vantrue N4, N4 Pro, and E1 dashcams for between 1-4 years with no problems. It is probably true that the endurance cards can be written to a relatively small percentage more times than these before experiencing sector failures, but these regular cards can still be written to many many times without a problem as I've proven with multiple cards in multiple dashcams in some of the hottest weather in the U.S over the lifetime of quite a few dashcams and more than 6 years of regular use for some of them.
LS460W bitrate about 15 Mbps, 4 days per 7 days, lets say 2 hours each day. That's 832 hours or about 3 million seconds, so total written about 45 million Mb, or 5.6 million MB, or 5,600 GB, or 5.6 TB. For a 128GB card, you've only written over it about 50 times per year. That is pretty light usage.
Some high-end dash cams push 60 Mbps and some people drive 50+ hours a week. Thats when you really need endurance cards. Parking mode would make this many times higher too.

is this overkill for a Switch Lite? If so, anything you all would recommend?
Switch and Switch Lite only require a UHS-1 card. If you need 512GB for your device, this is a no brainer. Well known, well reviewed, and highly recommended (as long as you don't get a fake).
Been using mine in my phone daily for almost six years now and zero issues. I don't think you can find a better 512GB card for this price.
Amazon[amazon.com]has the Samsung PRO Plus microSD Memory Card + Adapter 512gb on sale $34.99 for anyone who is interested. Up to 180 MB/s, Full HD & 4K UHD, UHS I, C10, U3, V30, A2, for Android Smartphones, Tablets, GoPRO, and DJI Drone (MB MD512SA/AM) Shipping is free w/ Prime or on $35+
