How do I format my SD card for use in my Smart Camera?

Your Smart Camera can save the recordings. For this, you need an SD card which can be inserted into the Smart Camera. Before your Smart Camera can store videos on the SD card, it must first be formatted.

Formatting an SD card is the process of erasing all data on the card and setting it up for use. This can be done from the Smart Camera using the Smart app, with a computer or a card reader that supports this card. It is important to note that formatting permanently deletes all data on the card, so be sure to back up important files before formatting the card.

Format using the Smart Camera and Smart app:

1. Insert the SD card into your Smart Camera. When doing this, make sure you insert the SD card correctly. Refer to your Smart Camera's manual for this if necessary.
2. Open the Smart app and select your Smart Camera.
3. Then go to the 'Memory Card Settings' option and select the 'Format Memory Card' option.
