Configure Onboard Recording
Install the SD Card
After the SD Card is installed in the camera and you have the correct service package, you can begin recording to it.
Most of the SD card slots are located on the bottom of the camera itself. Make sure the camera is updated to the latest firmware version first before inserting the SD card.
Format the SD Card
Your camera should automatically format and encrypt officially supported SD cards. If it doesn’t, then you will need to format the SD card manually.
To check the status of your SD card (including whether it’s formatted), log into Alarm.com and go to Video > Settings > SD Card Information.
If the SD card isn’t formatted then use the Reformat Card button to format it.
