Wireless Digital Video:SD card

SD card

• Note: SD cards must be Category 10 in order to allow video recording
• All the SD cards provided with WiDV devices have 2 partitions:
  • Boot partition - 1st partition:
    • It uses a FAT file system.
    • It contains the device's firmware and the configuration file. This partition is required for the device to boot.
  • Data partition - 2nd partition:
    • It uses an EXT4 file system.
    • All your videos will be stored on this partition.

Opening EXT4 file systems on Microsoft Windows:

• EXT4 is a native file system for Linux but it is not supported by MS. Windows, this is why a third party tool is required to open the Data partition.

• We have sucessfully tested a couple of these tools but there are few more available on the Internet:
  • Ext2Read: Website's project

      • Free cost.
      • Very easy to use and does not require installation.

  • Paragon ExtFS: Website

      • Reading, writing and deleting files are supported.
