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.
Tip: The SD card will record from the camera's highest resolution, non-tiled stream. In most cases,
this will be the primary stream.
Note: For cameras with 2 microSD card slots, the camera will record video to SD cards in both slots.
The total storage capacity of the system is the combined storage capacity of each of the two
individual cards.
1. On the 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.
4. On the Compression and Image Rate page, make sure the format is set to H.264 or H.265 to
maximize the SD card recording capacity and performance.
ONVIFProfile G
ONVIF Profile G allows video management systems to retrieve video from a camera's onboard storage when
there is a gap in the VMS video due to a network outage or similar event.
l
Cameras with firmware versions 4.4.0.X or later will have ONVIF Profile G already enabled.
l
Cameras with firmware older than 4.4.0.X will have the option to Enable ONVIF Profile G when they
upgrade their firmware.
