Do I Need to Format the SD Card Manually?

Under normal circumstances, the camera does not need manual SD card formatting. When the SD card is full, new videos will automatically overwrite old videos.

You may consider formatting the SD card if:

  • The camera cannot detect the SD card correctly.
  • The SD card does not record videos normally.
  • The storage page shows an abnormal card status.
  • You want to erase all recordings from the SD card at once.

Still Need SD Card Help?

If formatting does not solve the issue, check whether the SD card is installed correctly, whether the card is supported, and whether it is a reliable brand card.
