3.5.2 Formatting The 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 the Format button under SD Flash
Card.
3. Select the
Quick Format
option and
confirm by clicking OK.
Note: In contrast to the Quick Format
option, the
Safe Format
option will make
sure that the data on the MicroSD card
is overwritten completely so that the data
cannot be recovered in any way. However,
keep in mind that the Safe Format takes
considerably more time.
4.
Enter the user name and the password
of a user of the
admins
group in the
dialog that opens and click OK to confirm.
The MOBOTIX camera now starts formatting
the card. It usually takes between 5 and
12 minutes to format an 8GB MicroSD
card using the
Quick Format
option and 3
to 14 hours using the
Safe Format
option.
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. This usually takes only a few minutes when
using the Quick Format option! You can only access the MicroSD card once MxFFS
formatting has been completed!
The Safe Formatting option can take several hours. You can also use suitable appli-
cations on Windows, Linux/UNIX and Mac OS X computers to safely format the
MicroSD card.
