Title: Unable to access microSD card
Post by: fousa on June 06, 2014, 08:03:21 AM

My DCS-2332L stopped recording to SD and can't access it (MicroSD).

If I disconnect camera from electricity or remove and insert card, it is recognized by cam but give this error after some seconds. Reboot or default settings did not solved.

I bought an adapter MicroSD to SD to scan the card for errors on laptop. Anyone with this problem?

32GB card.

I do not recognize this in relation to my 2332, but do had some troubles with my 5222 that relate.
This (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=55340.msg214093#msg214093) is what worked for me:

I had difficulties myself, it gave a status "invalid" and after the firmware upgrade to 1.10 SD Status "Reinitializing". I found a solution in processing the following steps:

• Format  the MicroSD in your computer on NTFS
• Disable SD Recording (duh ;D)
• Disable Motion Detection (Don't know if it makes any sense, but I happen to do this at the time together with step 1)
• Insert the SD Card and format it from out the "SD Maintenance" menu.

I do not use additional software, just the webinterface.
Formatting the SD Card to FAT or FAT32 (with different sectorsizes) did not work, so I guess the key lies within the NTFS formatting on default settings.

Please let us know if it worked  :)

Thanks, I will try that. I think the key will be formatting the SD card on the computer.

It was the card. Had bad sectors. Bought a new one.
