Recorded video can be stored on a microSD card inserted into the camera or on a network
share.

You can implement local recording using a microSD/SDHC card up to 64 GB. On the Storage
Management page, administrators can view capacity information of the microSD/SDHC card
and a recording list with all the recording files that are saved on the memory card.
Administrators can also format the SD card and implement automatic recording cleanup.
Note: Format the microSD/SDHC card when using it for the first time. Formatting is also
required when a memory card already used on one camera is transferred to another camera
with a different software platform.
Important: We advise to use high-grade, highly-durable SD cards. Note that SD cards are
limited to the number of write cycles ranging from 1000 (off-the-shelf high-grade card MLC
or TLC NAND) to 100.000 (4 GB industrial SLC NAND). Intensive usage will eventually wear
out the card. The number of write cycles times the capacity of the SD card gives you the
total amount of data that can be written to the card in its life time. A 32 GB microSDHC with
2000 write cycles, for example, can write 64 TB before it should be replaced.
To implement and activate recording to the SD card
● On the Storage Management page, format the card, if necessary, and configure disk
cleanup settings.
● On the Recording page, set a recording schedule.
