Title: DCS-2121: The SD Card Storage is invalid.
Post by: wdevn on January 08, 2010, 09:24:07 AM

Hello everyone,

I just setup a DCS-2121 network cam and everything works great. However, it's not reading my 64MB or 4GB SD CARDS. The cards work fine in other PCs. When I use the web interface and try to format the SD CARD, I get this error: The SD Card Storage is invalid.

Everything else works fine. I can view video form the DCS-2121 on my iPhone over the Internet very well. Also, it's very fast!

Can anyone help me correct this problem?

Remove the partition using windows so it is not formatted in FAT32 or NTFS and try it in the camera again.

It looks like it's not pssiable to remove a SD Card's partition in XP. So how can this be done?

This is starting to go to the dogs. I just put a new unformated 2GB card in the DCS-2121 and it doesn't see the card! Is the DCS-2121 really able to record to a SD Card?

Is fact, when I place the sd card in the DCS-2121, the connection to the cam goes down! Connection is lost to the DCS-212 when I put a sd card in it?

Can someone point me in a direction to fit this?

Unfortunately this camera is not available here in the US so I am not able to test this out for you. I would recommend contacting support via phone in your region of purchase.
