3.5.3 Activate Recording
Follow these steps to activate the recording to a MicroSD card that has already been
MxFFS-formatted (Admin Menu> Storage on External File Server/ Flash Device):
1. Make sure that there is a MicroSD card in the card slot of the MOBOTIX camera.
2. Make sure that the MicroSD card has been MxFFS-formatted (see Section3.4.2
Formatting the Card ).
3. Activate the SD Flash Card option.
4. Click Set, then Close to store the configuration.
5. Reboot the camera (Admin Menu> Reboot Camera).
6. Once the camera has rebooted, make sure that the camera displays the
FR REC
symbols in its live image. If this is the case, the camera uses the MicroSD card as
recording target. If not, you can activate the recording (see below).
Activating The Recording
If the symbols FR REC are not visible in the camera's live image after rebooting, you need
to activate the recording using one of the following methods:
• In the web browser: Automatic activation by clicking the Arm& Record softbutton.
Confirm this in the Easy Dialog by clicking Yes.
• In the web browser: Manual activation via the Quick Control Recording>
Recording
on
or in Setup Menu> Recording.
• MxEasy: You can use the MxEasy Alarm Planner feature to activate recording based
on time and date (see also Section 2.5
Setting Up Alarms and Recordings in the
MxEasy User Manual ).
Activating Encryption And Authentication
If security is an issue, you can opt to store only encrypted video data on the MicroSD card.
If you would like to use encryption, make sure that you activate this option when formatting
the card. Note that you also need to enter an Authentication password. Switching from
encrypted to unencrypted storage (and back) is not possible without reformatting the card.
