Caution
It is recommended to use only high-grade MicroSD cards that are new.
For security applications, it is highly recommended to exchange the MicroSD card
for a new one after one year of operation.
Monitoring The Cell Wear Of Flash Storage Devices (Patent Pending)
MOBOTIX uses its own technology for this purpose and has a pending patent. You can
view the Flash wear in the status bar of the live image or by opening Admin Menu>
Camera Status. In addition, the camera can send a warning message (e.g. via e-mail) if the
Flash cell wear reaches a critical value (Admin
Menu> Storage on External File Server/ Flash
Device). This leaves enough time to exchange
the MicroSD card before the danger of data
loss becomes too high.
