Issue
Currently if an SD card is removed from a camera, the contents can be easily accessed if the SD card is
mounted elsewhere. This could be a violation of local privacy laws.
Solution
Introduction of the Encrypted SD Card storage feature which offers encryption for the entire contents of
their SD card. When SD card Encryption is enabled the contents of the SD Card will only be accessible
through the Camera Web GUI, unless a Custom Password has been set which allows password
protected access to the SD card when mounted elsewhere. Currently this mounting is only supported on
Linux systems.
NOTE:
The user can disable Encrypted SD Card storage to revert to being able to access the SD card
via Windows based systems, without a Password.
Disabling SD card encryption is not recommended.
Note: There are three procedures below, these vary depending on the firmware installed
in the camera. Use the correct procedure that relates to the firmware in your camera.
Cameras manufactured with firmware Illustra.SS004.01.09.01.0042 or later

Setup
on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup
