SD Card

The SD/SDHC memory card (not included) is managed on the System Options > Storage > SD Card page.

The settings under Storage Device are used to identify and monitor the status of the SD card, and to unmount the SD card before removal. Mounting is done automatically when a card is inserted. SD cards are normally preformatted when purchased, but if needed, click Format to format the card.

Note

To prevent corruption of recordings, the SD card should always be unmounted before removal.

If the card’s status shows as failed, click Check disk to see if the problem can be found and then try Repair.

The settings under Storage Device Settings are used to configure removal of recorded video. Automatic disk cleanup can be enabled and set according to a schedule. The disk can be locked to prevent removal of recordings.
