HD camera SD cards

SD card capacity and total recording time

All times are approximate.
4 GB card: 4 hours
8 GB card: 9 hours
16 GB card: 18 hours
32 GB card: 36 hours
64 GB card: 72 hours
128 GB card: 145 hours
Note:
The times listed here are calculated theoretically. Actual recording time may vary.
The times listed here apply during the following conditions.
[Camera Resolution] is set to [HD (1280x720)] (Image resolution)
[Frame Rate] is set to [25 fps] (Frame rate)
The file system and other information is stored on the SD card, therefore the card’s actual available capacity will be less than the card’s noted capacity.

SD card formatting

Before inserting an SD card into the camera, format the SD card using your computer and the SD formatting tool available from the web page listed below.
Note:
All data stored on the SD card will be erased when it is formatted.

How recordings are saved on the SD card

Recordings are saved on the camera’s SD card in folders based on the recording date, in the following path.
\PRIVATE\PANA_GRP\PSN\HN_HDCAM
The file naming convention is: 1 + recording type + recording start time.
First character: 1
Second character: Recording type.
A=Recording was triggered by the camera’s built-in motion sensor.
M=Recording was started manually.
R=Recording was started according to a schedule.
T=Recording was triggered by the camera’s built-in temperature sensor.
V=Recording was triggered by the camera’s built-in sound sensor.
Remaining characters: Recording start time (hhmmss).
Example: 1A123455.mp4
This recording was triggered by the camera’s built-in motion sensor (“A”) and recording started at 12:34 PM and 55 seconds (“123455”).
