The settings relating to the SD memory card can be configured on this page.
Operating mode
[SD memory card]
Select “Use” or “Not use” to determine whether or not to use the SD memory card.
IMPORTANT
•
Select “Not use” when operating without an SD memory card.
•
Before removing the SD memory card from the camera, it is necessary to select “Not use” first. When removing SD memory cards, make sure that the green indicator turns off when the SD ON/OFF button is pressed and held down (about 2 seconds). The recorded data may become corrupted if the SD memory card is removed when the SD MOUNT indicator is lit in green.
•
When an SD memory card is replaced after pressing and holding the SD ON/OFF button for about 2 seconds, press the SD ON/OFF button for about 1 second and confirm that the SD MOUNT indicator is lit in green. If the SD ON/OFF button is not pressed, the SD MOUNT indicator lights in green for about 5 minutes after replacing the SD memory card.
•
When an SD memory card is inserted when “Use” is selected, data will be saved in accordance with the setting of “Save trigger”.
•
After inserting the SD memory card, it is necessary to select “Use” to use the SD memory card.
•
When the image refresh interval is short, notification/recording timing or interval may become incorrect. Notification/recording may also not be performed correctly as configured when multiple users are receiving images. In this case, set the refresh interval longer.
•
There are limited times to overwrite on an SD memory card. When having a high frequency of overwriting, the lifetime of the SD memory card may become shorter.
•
A lifetime of an SD memory card should be influenced by the number of the image files stored and log savings on the SD memory card. Selecting “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)” for “Recording format” can reduce the number of files that can be stored on the SD memory card.
•
If the data writing speed goes down after data is repeatedly written on an SD memory card, we recommend replacing the SD memory card.
[Audio recording]
Select whether or not to save audio data when saving video data in MP4 format.
•
Off: Does not save audio data to videos (MP4 format).
•
On: Saves audio data (AAC-LC format) to videos (MP4 format).
Default: Off
[Remaining capacity notification]
When the E-mail notification function or the Panasonic alarm protocol function is used to provide notification of the remaining capacity of the SD memory card, select a level to be notified at from the following.
50%/ 20%/ 10%/ 5%/ 2%
Note
•
Notification will be provided each time the remaining capacity of the SD memory card reached the values above.
For example, notification will be provided each time the remaining capacity reaches 50%, 20%, 10%, 5% and 2% when “50%” is selected. Notification may not always be made at the very moment when the remaining capacity of the SD memory card has reached each value.
[Overwrite]
Determine whether or not to overwrite when the remaining capacity of the SD memory card becomes insufficient.
•
On: Overwrites when the remaining capacity of the SD memory card becomes insufficient. (The oldest image is the first to be overwritten.)
•
Off: Stops saving images on the SD memory card when the SD memory card becomes full.
IMPORTANT
•
When the setting is changed from “Off” to “On”, if the remaining capacity of the SD memory card is low, old images may be deleted in order to prepare to save new images.
