Managing the Local Storage

The 6000 Series IP cameras have an SD card slot that can support an optional SD memory card (up to 8 GB) for local storage purposes. If local storage is available on an IP camera and the camera loses network connectivity, video data storage switches to the local SD memory card.

For security purposes, video data stored on the SD memory card is encrypted. To view the encrypted video, you must decrypt it to H.264 or MP4 format. Encrypted files cannot be decrypted directly from an SD memory card on an IP camera; before they can be decrypted, they must either be downloaded to your PC, or the SD memory card must be moved from the IP camera to your PC.

The Cisco SD Utility allows you to manage the SD memory card and to decrypt the encrypted video data on the card. The utility can be downloaded from Cisco.com and installed on your PC. For more information see the “Downloading and Installing the Cisco SD Utility” section on page 4-13.

Note Note You cannot manage an SD memory card using the camera firmware or Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM); you must use the Cisco SD Utility.
