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.
The SD card will record from the camera's highest resolution stream. In most cases, this will be the primary
stream.
1. Click the System tab, and then click the Storage Management button.
2. In the Settings and Actions area, click to select the Enable Onboard Storage check box.
3. 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, click to deselect the checkbox for the
Record only when server connection is interrupted to disable the setting.
4. 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 a Pelco 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.
The recorded video will be divided into files no more than five minutes in length or 100MB in size.
5. On the VideoConfigurations page, make sure the format is set to H.264 or H.265 to maximize the
SD card recording capacity and performance. See the section titled Compression and Image Rate.
Downloading Recorded Video from the Web Interface
Listed in the Recordings section are all the videos that have been recorded to the SD card.
It is recommended that you download recorded video from the web interface. However, if your bandwidth is
limited, you can choose to download the recorded video directly from the SD card. For more information,
see Downloading Recorded Video from the SD Card.
To download recorded video from the web interface, perform the following:
1. Click the System tab, and then click the Storage Management button.
2. In the Export Recordings area, click to select the checkbox beside all the videos you want to
download.
To help you find the video you want, filter the videos by date and time. Click to select the checkbox
for Filter, type in the dates in the From and To fields, and then select the From and To time range.
3. Click Download.
The selected video files are automatically downloaded to your browser’s default Downloads folder. If you
are prompted by the browser, allow the download to occur.
Note: Do not close your browser window until the download is complete or the file might not
download correctly. This is important if you are downloading multiple video files because the files are
downloaded one by one.
Downloading Recorded Video from the SD Card
If you do not have enough bandwidth to download recorded video directly from the web interface, you can
choose to download the recorded video directly from the SD card.
