You need to buy the correct SD card for your security camera.<\/p>\n

Yeah. That’s right; there is a list of the <\/span>best SD card for security cameras<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can either pick one from such a list or just use the <\/span>Axis SD card <\/span><\/a>itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cards must be fast and reliable to record videos without compromising the quality, so just make sure you pick the correct card to avoid problems.<\/p>\n

Format the SD card<\/h2>\n

Before start recording, it’s necessary to format the SD card.<\/p>\n

The camera can format the SD card<\/strong> using the ext4 <\/strong>which is a filesystem <\/strong>used by the Linux operating system. So just let the camera do its job \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

To format the card, go the <\/span>Settings <\/span><\/strong>>> <\/span>System <\/span><\/strong>>> <\/span>Storage, <\/span><\/strong>click the little arrow on the right side to expand the menu. On tools, Choose “<\/span>Format (erase all)<\/span><\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
