M16 Camera Manual: Operating The Camera
3.5.2 Formatting the MicroSD Card
Before a MOBOTIX camera can store image and video sequences on a MicroSD card, it needs
to be formatted as MxFFS (MicroSD cards delivered with MOBOTIX cameras are already
MxFFS-formatted). The following steps are necessary to format a storage device (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. Click Format in the SD Memory Card
line.
3. Note down the characters shown in the
Encryption password eld or enter your
own password. Next, click OK.
Note: The Securedeletion–Slow option
will ensure that any data on the MicroSD
card is overwritten completely so that the
data cannot be recovered in any way.
However, keep in mind that this kind of
safe formatting takes considerably more
time.
4. In the next dialog box, enter the user
name and the password of a user of the
admins group and click OK to conrm.
The MOBOTIX camera now starts format-
ting the card. It takes 5 to 12 minutes to
format an 8 GB MicroSD card if the Secure
deletion – Slow option is disabled. If
Securedeletion–Slow is enabled, this
may take anywhere between 3 and 14
hours.
Once the formatting has been completed, you can activate the MicroSD card for recording
(see next section).
Caution
Make sure that you always wait until the formatting process has been completed
before accessing the camera again. If the Securedeletion–Slow option is disabled,
this usually takes just a few minutes. You can only access the MicroSD card once
MxFFS formatting has been completed.
Formatting with the Securedeletion–Slow option enabled takes several hours. You
can also use suitable applications on Windows, Linux/UNIX and Mac OS X systems
to repartition and safely erase the MicroSD card.
