8. Click Apply to save the settings.
Managing the Camera Firmware
The Firmware page provides the current firmware version. From this page, you can also manually
upgrade the firmware, reboot the device, and restore to the factory defaults.

(www.pelco.com/training-support/).
2. Click the System tab, and then click the Firmware button.

Configuring Storage Management
On the Storage Management page, you can enable the camera’s onboard storage feature and download
recorded video directly from the camera.
Note: You can now use one or both SD card slots. The camera will record video to both SD card
slots simultaneously if two SD cards are inserted. The total storage capacity of the system is the
combined storage capacity of each of the individual cards.
To access the Storage Management page, click the System tab, and then click the Storage
Management button.
Current information about the camera is presented in theOnboard Storage section at the top of the page.
It includes Status, Total Capacity, Current Usage, and Remaining Capacity.

l
Click to select or deselect Enable Profile G to enable video overlay on severe SDcard failure.
When enabled, this feature shows an overlay on the video stream when the card cannot record
video. The functionality of enabling ONVIF Profile G is to allow the connected VMS system to be
able to download recorded video from the camera's onboard storage when there are gaps to fill in
the VMS video due to network outages.

Enabling Onboard Storage
To use the camera’s onboard storage feature, you must first insert an SD card into the camera. Refer to
the camera’s installation manual for the location of the SD card slot.
The SD card will record from the camera's highest resolution stream. In most cases, this will be the
primary stream.
1. Click the System tab, and then click the Storage Management button.
2. In the Settings and Actions area, click to select the Enable Onboard Storage checkbox.
3. By default, the camera is set to only record to the SD card when it is unable to communicate with
the network video management server. If you prefer to have the camera record video to both the
network video management server and to the SD card, click to deselect the checkbox for the
Record only when server connection is interrupted to disable the setting.
4. Select one of the following recording modes:
l
Continuous: the camera never stops recording to the SD card.
l
On Motion: the camera only records when there is motion in the scene.
If you are configuring a Pelco video analytics camera, the On Motion setting will record either
pixel change in the scene or analytics motion events depending on how the camera is
configured.
The recorded video will be divided into files no more than five minutes in length or 100MB in size.
5. On the VideoConfigurations page, make sure the format is set to H.264 or H.265 to maximize the
SD card recording capacity and performance. See the section titled Compression and Image
Rate.
Downloading Recorded Video from the Web Interface
Listed in the Export Recordings section are all the videos that have been recorded to the SD card.
It is recommended that you download recorded video from the web interface. However, if your bandwidth
is limited, you can choose to download the recorded video directly from the SD card. For more
information, see Downloading Recorded Video from the SD Card.
To download recorded video from the web interface, perform the following:
1. Click the System tab, and then click the Storage Management button.
2. In the Export Recordings area, click to select the checkbox beside all the videos you want to
download.
To help you find the video you want, filter the videos by date and time. Click to select the checkbox
for Filter, type in the dates in the From and To fields, and then select the From and To time range.
3. Click Download.
The selected video files are automatically downloaded to your browser’s default Downloads folder. If you
are prompted by the browser, allow the download to occur.
Note: Do not close your browser window until the download is complete or the file might not
download correctly. This is important if you are downloading multiple video files because the files
are downloaded one by one.
Downloading Recorded Video from the SD Card
If you do not have enough bandwidth to download recorded video directly from the web interface, you
can choose to download the recorded video directly from the SD card.
