Does the SD card slot on the ADC-V723/723X have any functionality?

Yes. An SD card can be inserted into the ADC-V723/723X so that it can record continuously without additional hardware. The ADC-V723/723X must have a service package that supports Onboard Recording. For more information, see Onboard Recording with Smart View for video devices.

To install an SD card in an ADC-V723/723X:

  1. It is recommended to insert the micro SD card before the camera is mounted to minimize the chance of dropping the card. If the camera is mounted, remove the camera in order to more easily access the SD card slot.
  2. Unscrew the 2 screws on either side of the door found on the bottom face of the camera near the QR code and MAC address.
  3. Carefully lift then rotate the door open to provide clearance for inserting the card into the slot for the SD card. Take care not to tug the door which could separate it from the camera.
  4. Insert the micro SD card until it clicks.
  5. Replace the door and screw the 2 screws back firmly into place.
