Powering down the camera
WARNING: avoid powering down the camera by simply disconnecting power supply: your
camera has a true PC inside running Linux and, as any other PC, you should shut it down in the
correct way. The Shutdown application in the main page of the Desktop will take care of all this
sequence, so, before powering down the camera you must run the Shutdown application. After
pressing shutdown, the camera will disconnect from wifi and emit a certain number of regularly
timed weak beep sounds. When the beeps end the camera can be powered off unplugging the
power cable. In case the beeps can't be heard, after shutdown wait for 1 minute before
unplugging the power cable.
The Linux distribution inside the camera is stored into the internal SD card, which is the main
storage of the camera. In unlikely situations, removing the power supply while the operating
system or any application is writing on the SD card could damage the files stored on it.
