Using SD cards in Smart Cameras and Smart Video Doorbells

When using an SD card in your Calex Smart Camera or Calex Smart Video Doorbell, it is important to keep in mind a few specifications to ensure optimal performance. Below is an overview of the most important points:

Maximum SD card size

• Always check what maximum SD card size your specific Calex device supports.
• Some devices support cards up to 128GB, while an increasing number of devices can also handle cards up to 256GB. 

SD card speed class

• Use an SD card with at least V30 or U3 speed class.
• These speed ratings are essential for storing high-resolution images, such as 2K videos, without interruption or loss of quality.

Choose reliable brand and genuine SD cards

• It is important to choose an SD card from a reputable brand, such as SanDisk, Samsung or Kingston, for example.
• Make sure you buy a genuine (original) SD card and not an imitation or counterfeit card. Counterfeit SD cards often do not have the stated storage capacity and also rarely meet the stated speed rating. This can lead to problems when saving videos, such as hiccups or loss of footage.

Recommendations

• Make sure the SD card is reliable and from an official vendor to ensure compatibility and durability.
• Format the SD card in the device before using it. This helps to avoid any compatibility issues.

By choosing the right SD card, you will get the most out of your Calex Smart Camera or Video Doorbell and ensure stable and long-term storage of your images.
