IP2M-841w not recording to SD card

Post by In2ndo »

Hello Everyone.

I just bought a IP2M-841w. Just bought an SD card for it. is a SandDisk Ultra Plus microSDHC UHS-I card.
It shows in the camera's page configuration page ok and formatted in the camera ok. but is not recording.
I have set up the motion detection with Amcrest cloud service and that is working fine. I've tried it with a schedule and without and no problems. I can access it from the iPhone 6 app Amcrest View and Amcrest Cloud.
In the camera's configuration page. the Target is set to the SD card and it shows status normal, under available space it shows 0.1M/29652.7M, attributes read & wright Under the storage option record schedule has the yellow and red lines all across every day and holiday.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hello In2ndo ,

Please observe if the used space on the camera is increasing which indicate that its recording. if it does, you can try accessing from a different browser to see if that works.

Also Ensure the the video detect is enabled and the schedule for motion is set under video detect. The 'Record' check box should be enabled as well.

Thanks for the reply Melvin.
I'll have to check on that later when I'm with the camera.. but last night I did noticed that once the Amcrest cloud shut off schedule kicked in.. the sd card started recording. Could it be that it can't record to both simultaneously?

Thanks again.

Ok. It's been proven. today is the second time that the SD card starts recording as soon as the cloud recording schedule stops. I'm attaching the settings that you recommended to check.

Thanks.

My camera will record to see card if manually but will indicate in the timeline only motion detection so I may select and record.
