Why You Might Need to Remove the SD Card

You may need to access the SD card from your camera to:

  • Download videos to your computer

  • Share videos for insurance purposes

  • Retrieve videos from a damaged camera

  • Access videos that aren't available through video on demand

Important Information About SD Cards

  • Replacement cards: You can reinsert the same SD card or replace it with a new one that has more storage capacity. SD cards for dash cams require specific formatting and must be purchased from RAM Tracking to ensure compatibility.

  • Video on demand access: Once an SD card is removed from the camera, you cannot request videos stored on that card through the RAM Live video on demand feature.
