No Connectivity with SD-Card

[user_760447807074536_760447807074536]

Hello Community,

I have bought a RLC-510A to secure my house and cars.
On the reolink homepage they say I can insert an SD-Card up to 256 Gb, so I bought this one:
Samsung PRO Plus microSD-Card - 256 GB - SDXC - UHS-I U3 - A2 - V30

Now the Problem:
Every time I insert the SD-Card my Camera won't start and/or dows not get a connection.
When I disconnect the camera from PoE again and replace the SD Card everything is working fine...

Does someone has the same problem or can give me a special hint what I do wrong?

Thanks in advance and have a nice Weekend.

CMR

@user_760447807074536_760447807074536 Do you have another SD even 2G? Just to check whether there is an issue on the SD. In addition, insert the SD in your notebook SD slot and format it to FAT32. Transfer a file from PC to SD and try to read it from SD. Then delete the file and insert the SD in the camera and check again. Note that I use Samsung EVO plus and have no issues.

thanks for sharing your intentions.
i have full access to the SD Card when it is connected to the Computer.
Problem is that I can only choose between exFAT and NTFS when I want to format the card on windows 11.

I guess 256GB is too large for FAT32, isn‘t it?
What do you think?

@user_760447807074536_760447807074536 Of course you can format a 256GB SD to FAT32. But you need a third party application as Windows won't allow you. Do a search for free fat32 SD formatter. There are a lot.

Thanks mate. I have already done it when I have read the first post of you.
I made it in this way without an 3rd party App:

1) deleted the SD-Card partition
2) inserted the SD-Card to the Camera
3) Did the formating with the Reolink App
4) Now I enjoy my recordings

Thanks a lot!!
