• If you need to download the recording videos and images, please turn off the camera first before removing the micro SD card.

Insert the memory card halfway, then use a fingernail or paper clip to push it all the way inward until it clicks and locks in place. The camera supports Micro SD cards up to 256GB. It is recommended to format the memory card before first use.
