Memory Cards
The AC160 Camera records video and audio on inexpensive, readily available "flash memory"
cards. MetroEast will provide cards, but you can also decide to purchase your own if you wish.
If you use the provided cards, MetroEast staff will transfer the footage you've recorded to the
edit system when you return the camera, and then erase the cards for the next user.

About Memory Cards:

1) The camera uses standard "SD" format cards. There are several different forms of the SD
"family" of cards, from cheaper versions that can't record/retrieve data as quickly. These
lower quality cards may cause record failures, or not allow high quality record settings.
2) If purchasing your own cards, look for a card of at least "Class 6" or above quality.
3) Recording time is based on the size in "Gigabytes" of the card. In the standard HD
recording format, a 32 gigabyte card will provide about 3 hours of record time.
4) The MetroEast provided cards are a pair of 64 gigabyte, Class 10 cards. The 2 cards will
provide more than 12 hours of recording.
5) The cameras are configured to automatically switch from one card to the other when one
becomes completely full.
6) SD cards use "file-based" recording, meaning that each time you start and then stop
recording, it adds a "clip" to the card. This makes it very difficult to accidentally record over
already recorded footage, and makes selection of shots easier in editing.
PLEASE! Don't open the Memory Card Door or remove the cards while out in the field.
Doing so allows dirt and moisture to get into the card slots.
