Managing the Local Storage
The 4000E Series IP cameras have a USB port that can support an optional USB flash drive (up to 8 GB)
for local storage purposes. If local storage is available on an IP camera and the camera loses network
connectivity, video data storage switches to the local USB flash drive.
For security purposes, video data stored on the USB flash drive is encrypted. To view the encrypted
video, you must decrypt it to H.264 format. Encrypted files cannot be decrypted directly from a USB
flash drive on an IP camera; before they can be decrypted, they must either be downloaded to your PC,
or the USB flash drive must be moved from the IP camera to your PC.
