The most fake SD card is a fake capacity expansion card that uses illegal means and tools to make a card with small potential big impact. For example, a 32GB card is similar to 128GB in your computer or other device. The cost of such a card is usually lower than its real value. Because the capacity is deceived by leakage and equipment, the space beyond the original capacity cannot be used normally. As long as the data storage exceeds the real capacity, the data will not be usable. Our camera recognizes the SD card, formats it in Fat32 and creates indexed files to save your video files. 

Such​ problems can be caused by a fake SD card.  Security cameras that use micro SD cards are often used to store audio recordings or short videos on local storage, offering great advantages over cloud-based recording. However, users may encounter issues such as the camera failing to record data, data being saved when the SD card is full, or the camera app failing to create an SD card.

As long as the data storage exceeds the real capacity, the data will not be usable. Our camera recognizes the SD card, puts it in Fat32 format and creates indexed files to save your video files. This process reads and writes all the space on the SD card and checks if it is available. If your SD card is an expansion card, it will not be formatted properly and will not work properly on our camera. Due to the special nature of security cameras, we do not support this card and must ensure that the SD card can work stably for a long time. Since camera data is very important, losing data or not saving data can have serious consequences.
