storage recommendations for cammra: optimal use of sd-cards

Storage (SD-card) recommendations

CAMMRA application can work either using internal device storage, or using SD-card storage if it is available.

It is recommended to use SD-card in traffic solutions where data is being sent to external systems. This will prevent data loss in case of connectivity issues.

In case internal device storage is used, CAMMRA application will be able to store limited number of events depending on the stored image settings:

  • Full Frame - 3 images

  • Vehicle crop - 10 images

  • LP crop - 1000 images

CAMMRA application monitors SD-card status, so whenever SD-card becomes available, application will restart and switch storage usage from internal device to SD-card.

To store larger number of events (up to 100k), it is recommended to have SD-card installed and mounted on camera device:

  • Install SD-card (128 GB recommended for full-frame images storage)

  • Go to the camera web page

  • Go to System > Storage

  • Make sure SD card is turned on, mounted and formatted after first setup

  • Whenever SD card is installed, CAMMRA application needs to be restarted

  • SD card shouldn’t be disabled while CAMMRA application is running
