Steps for Recording IP Cameras onto SD Card
- Make sure the IP camera supports an SD card and that the card has been inserted.
- Connect the security camera to the network.
- Run the surveillance camera software/app on a computer with the same network.
- Once the software connects to the camera, configure the desired settings and ensure motion event recording to the SD card is a default setting.
An advantage of recording IP cameras to an SD card is that even if the camera is offline, motion events can still be recorded to the SD card. In addition, this outdoor PTZ security camera is an excellent option for nighttime video recording, providing high-quality surveillance footage.
Incorporating an SD card into your IP camera is a simple and economical way to supplement motion event recording and ensures that your property is protected even without internet connectivity.
