SD Card

The Axis product supports SD cards with up to 64 GB of storage. For best recording performance, use an SDHC or SDXC card with speed class 10.

NOTICE

To prevent corruption of recordings, the SD card should always be unmounted before it is ejected.

The Axis product supports SD cards with the following file systems:

•ext4 — recommended due to its resilience against data loss if the card is ejected or if there is abrupt power loss. To access data stored on the card from the Windows operating system, a third-party ext4 driver or application is required.

•vFAT — most SD cards are pre-formatted with vFAT when purchased.

If required, the SD card can be manually formatted to the desired file system. To format the SD card:

1.Insert the SD card in the SD card slot.

2.Go to System Options > Storage and click SD Card.

3.Click Format and select the desired file system.

Note

During formatting any previous data stored on the disk will be lost.

Mounting is done automatically when the card is inserted or when the product is started. A manual mount is only required if the card has been unmounted and not ejected and re-inserted.

To unmount the SD card:

1.Go to System Options > Storage and click SD Card.

2.Click Unmount.

3.The card can now be removed.

The SD card is managed on the System Options > Storage page. Click SD Card to open Storage Management.

If the card’s status shows as failed, click Check disk to see if the problem can be found and then try Repair. This option is only available for SD cards with ext4. For SD cards with vFAT, use a card reader or computer to troubleshoot the card.
