Pearl Nano recording storage information

• An SD card (or a SATA M.2 2280 SSD on Pearl Nano) must be installed to record.

• After an SD card is formatted using Pearl Nano do not manually change the default file folder structure on the SD card.

• Ejecting the SD card while the recording is in progress may corrupt the SD card and cause loss of data. Power down the Pearl Nano before ejecting the SD card. Stop all recording before powering down the system.

• The maximum file size cannot be larger than a quarter of the total available space on the SD card. For example, the maximum file size limit for a 64 GB SD card is 16 GB. A warning appears if you set a file size limit that is bigger than a quarter of the SD card capacity.

• If you set the file size limit and then swap in a smaller SD card, you must change the file size limit to a smaller size using the Admin panel if the file size limit is bigger than the SD card.

• Recording with a file size limit that exceeds the size of the SD card will corrupt the SD card.

• Newer recordings overwrite oldest recordings when the amount of free space on the SD card (or M.2 SSD) is less than the configured recording file size limit.

• The SD card is formatted for Linux systems and is not compatible with Windows and Mac devices.

• We recommend using large capacity SD cards such as 256 GB (or a large capacity M.2 SSD when using Pearl Nano) with a CMS. Do not schedule recordings that are longer than the capacity of the storage device to store the recording to the storage medium.
