Title: SD card: Recordings fail, log says OK every second, e-mail clips not working
Post by: belvedere on August 14, 2014, 02:48:40 PM
Two of my DCS-942L cameras (firmware 1.23) are set to record 24/7 to SD cards.  They have been working this way for about 6 months.  Today I walked into the garage and noticed that I did not receive an e-mail alert.  The log (excerpt shown below) is full of "Record to SD card OK" messages about 1 second apart.  Simultaneously, e-mail alerts are not working.

Rebooting "fixed" the problem on one camera yesterday.  Today, the problem occurred on both cameras.  After rebooting them, the record icon is grayed out completely and no new files are being written to SD.

The cameras allowed me to format the cards, which erased the files, but did not create any directory structure and are not writing any new files.
