"SD Card Reader" ....

RinaRina — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 23:43:34 GMT

I was looking at a security camera on AMZN and the description says the following:

"Real-Time Motion Detection】- Automatically record on SD card when this WiFi security camera detected any movements. External Sd card slot enables easy installation of the SD card without opening the camera. (No SD card pre-installed). "

All the security cameras I've had automatically recorded and showed video on my computer, so I don't understand the above.

Are they saying I have to purchase an SD card and an SD Card reader to record video?

Isn't that old technology?

The website should mention somewhere in the description or "specifications" if the SD card is included or not.

I don't know if it's old technology or not. It may just be the way this camera stores video. Depending on the computer you own, you may have a built in card reader. If not, they are cheap, easy to buy and use.

Ha! I just found the card reader slot on my laptop.

I'm gonna take your word for it that it's easy to use.

Thanks.
