MxEasy User Manual: System Configuration
4.3.6 Recording Settings
The cameras can save their video and audio data on
various storage devices with storage capacities up to 4TB.
For the storage medium, you can choose the integrated
SD card of the camera or an external USB medium (USB
stick, USB hard drive, etc.), for example. The basic set-
tings and basic functions of this feature can be used in
this dialog box.
• External USB Hard Drive: The camera should record
to a directly connected external USB hard drive.
• SD Card: The camera records to an inserted SD card.
• USB Stick/Flash SSD: The cameras should record to
a directly connected USB stick or an external flash
solid-state hard drive.
• NFS or SMB/CIFS File Server: The camera records to
a file server. Select SMB/CIFS if you use a Windows
server or a Mac OS X/Linux server that runs a Samba
file server. Select NFS if you use a Linux server with
NFS shares.
Storage Requirements And Life Expectancy Of MicroSD Cards
Newer cameras (Q22M, Q24M, D24M, D14, M24M, T24M, with the exception of basic and
web models) and R models are equipped with SD cards and preconfigured for recording.
The life expectancy of a MicroSD card increases proportionally to the storage capacity,
since the camera software will execute fewer write/delete cycles on each storage cell.
The first deletion will begin once the SD card has been filled to capacity (first full cycle). The
theoretical life expectancy of a good quality 16GB MicroSD card is between 10 and 35years,
depending on the degree of use. You can find further information on saving to SD cards in
the
Camera Manual of your MOBOTIX camera.
