You threw me off with the username change
@FlipNJ should have prefaced it with 'the artist formally known as......'
- What format are you using on the card(s), FAT 32, ExFAT, NTFS etc ?
- Has this shown any signs of access (read/write) at all on this unit when testing with the cards ?
- You mentioned IVS rule checking, are you seeing issues with those or are you just wanting to review caps and currently can't ?
If you do want to review how those (IVS rules) are working currently, where are you sending the stream today (BI, NVR etc) ? Not knowing what you currently have available (and if its even needed as you may have it covered), could always send the output to FTP destination or even SmartPSS for specific rule checking against recording in the interim. If you need any assistance with those or want me to take a look at the cam just reach out, happy to help.
Hey man! Sorry about the confusion with the name change. Just didn't think any part of my actual name was that smart.
Format: I took the card out of the returned 49225 and put it into the replacement 49225. I left the card alone and figured it would work. So, no formatting was done from the start. After noticing by going through the settings that the Local Storage had nothing listed and the little popup banner displayed "No SD Card!", I attempted to Format it in camera. Of course that wouldn't work because the camera simply does not see a card installed. Removed the card, popped it into my windows machine and explored the card. All the files were there and no problem with the card. (Samsung Pro Endurance 128G BTW). I can't remember what format I used but I believe exfat.
Signs of access: No.
IVS Rules: I had posted about a pole causing issues with the auto tracking and I use the Playback files to see what has occurred. Without files stored on the SD card, there is nothing to playback. I still review the same information but have to watch it as it happens in the Live tab. The stream (Sub disabled) goes to BI. I was putzing around with attempting to send captures to be saved somewhere else besides the card, like on the BI server PC but didn't spend much time on it. I am either going to get this working, or just deal with it since Andy replied and said to ship it back. I appreciate his willingness and good service but I am not going 6 weeks without it again. It is also getting expensive to ship cameras every month. The SD card reader not working is not that big of a deal and I got this thing working extremely well so it's staying on the wall. By mentioning card format, I will try formatting to a different format and see what happens. I doubt that is the issue since the old camera and new camera have the same FW version and the same card was never reformatted. But who knows? Totally forgot about Smart PSS.
Thanks for replying and offering help, I greatly appreciate your time.
The FTP part I am a little confused about. To setup on a local PC, in the same network, how is it done?
