SD Card
NOTICE NO NO TICE TICE
To prevent data corruption, the SD card should be unmounted before removal.
Note
For SD card recommendations see www.axis.com
The Axis product supports microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC cards.
The following SD card file systems are supported:
• ext4 — recommended due to its resilience against data loss if the card is ejected or if there is abrupt power loss. To access
data stored on the card from the Windows operating system, a third-party ext4 driver or application is required.
• vFAT — supported by most operating systems for personal computers.
The SD card is managed on the System Options > Storage page. Click SD Card to open Storage Management.
If the card's status shows as failed, click Check disk to see if the problem can be found and then try Repair. This option is only
available for SD cards with ext4. For SD cards with vFAT, use a card reader or computer to troubleshoot the card.
To avoid filling the card, it is recommended to remove recordings continuously. Under General Settings, select Remove recordings
older than and select the number of days or weeks.
To stop writing to the card and protect recordings from being removed, select Lock under General Settings.

Format SD Card
NOTICE TICE
NO NO TICE
Formatting the SD card will remove all data and recordings stored on the card.
The Axis product can be configured to automatically format SD cards that are inserted into the product. If autoformat is enabled and
an SD card is inserted, the product will check if the SD card has the ext4 file system. If the card has a different file system, the
card will automatically be formatted to ext4.
Important
If autoformat is enabled, only use new or empty SD cards. Any data stored on the card will be lost when the card is inserted
into the Axis product.
