Most of the modern IP security cameras have a memory card slot. This is very interesting because the camera can record on the same type of card used in regular photo cameras, but it is important to understand exactly what is the best CCTV camera memory card type<\/strong> that can be used on your IP cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"SD<\/span>[tcb-script type=”text\/javascript”]amzn_assoc_placement = “adunit0”;amzn_assoc_tracking_id = “learn-cctv-20”;amzn_assoc_ad_mode = “search”;amzn_assoc_ad_type = “smart”;amzn_assoc_marketplace = “amazon”;amzn_assoc_region = “US”;amzn_assoc_title = “Shop Related Products”;amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = “Sandisk SD memory card”;amzn_assoc_default_category = “All”;amzn_assoc_linkid = “09a3f437b39025253fff8d8ebc5140f3”;amzn_assoc_rows = “4”;amzn_assoc_design = “text_links”;[\/tcb-script][tcb-script src=”\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US”][\/tcb-script]<\/p>\n

When we look at the specification of an IP camera we can see that many of them offer a slot for SD, SDHC and SDXC memory card, but what does this mean exactly? These names are related to the maximum storage capacity of the cards, the table below shows the details of each type:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Another thing to consider is the card speed, when taking a picture or recording a video, the speed with which the data is written to the card are fundamental, the higher the speed the better, if you want to record high resolution video with a high frame rate per second this will require a fast card<\/span><\/p>\n

So when you buy a card for your IP camera is not worth taking risks. Watch out for the card speed provided. Just take a look at the card to see the speed indication card that comes it with classes ranging from C2, C4, C6 or C10<\/strong> ,you can also find classes with different nomenclatures like 16X, 32X, 48X or 100X<\/strong>. The table below summarizes the classes of cards:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
