Tools
• Check: Check for errors on the SD card. This only works for the ext4 file system.
• Repair: Repair errors in the ext4 file system. To repair an SD card with the VFAT file system, eject the SD card, insert it
in a computer, and perform a disk repair.
• Format: Format the SD card, for example, when you need to change the file system or quickly erase all data. VFAT
and ext4 are the two available file system options. The recommended format is ext4, due to its resilience against
data loss if the card is ejected or if there is an abrupt power loss. However, you need a third-party ext4 driver or
application to access the file system from Windows®.
• Encrypt: Use this tool to format the SD card and enable encryption. Encrypt deletes all data stored on the SD card.
After using Encrypt, the data that's stored on the SD card is protected using encryption.
• Decrypt: Use this tool to format the SD card without encryption. Decrypt deletes all data stored on the SD card. After
using Decrypt, the data that's stored on the SD card is not protected using encryption.
• Change password: Change the password required to encrypt the SD card.
Use tool: Click to activate the selected tool.
Wear trigger: Set a value for the SD card wear level at which you want to trigger an action. The wear level ranges from 0–200%.
A new SD card that has never been used has a wear level of 0%. A wear level of 100% indicates that the SD card is close to
its expected lifetime. When the wear-level reaches 200%, there is a high risk of the SD card malfunctioning. We recommend
setting the wear trigger between 80–90%. This gives you time to download any recordings as well as replace the SD card in
time before it potentially wears out. The wear trigger allows you to set up an event and get a notification when the wear
level reaches your set value.
Stream profiles
A stream profile is a group of settings that affect the video stream. You can use stream profiles in different situations, for example,
when you create events and use rules to record.
