Storage
On the Onboard Storage page, you can enable the camera’s Onboard Storage feature and download recorded
video directly from the camera.
Enabling Onboard Storage
To use the camera’s onboard storage feature, you must first insert an SD card into the camera. Refer to the
camera’s installation manual for the location of the SD card slot.
1. On the Onboard Storage page, select the Enable Onboard Storage check box.
2. By default, the camera is set to only record to the SD card when it is unable to communicate with the
network video management server. If you prefer to have the camera record video to both the network
video management server and to the SD card, clear the Record only when server connection is
interrupted check box to disable the setting.
3. Select one of the following recording modes:
l Continuous: the camera never stops recording to the SD card.
l On Motion: the camera only records when there is motion in the scene.
If you are configuring an Avigilon video analytics camera, the On Motion setting will record either
pixel change in the scene or analytics motion events depending on how the camera is configured
in the Avigilon Control Center Client software.
The recorded video will be divided into files no more than five minutes in length or 100MB in size.
