ACTi PMMC-0500 256GB MicroSDXC Storage Card
Overview
The PMMC-0500 is a Kingston 256GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 card packaged and sold as an ACTi accessory for edge-based video recording. It solves the problem of local buffering or full-time onboard recording on ACTi cameras that support microSD expansion — useful as a failover to network video recorder storage during network or NVR downtime, or as the primary recording path in single-camera deployments where a full NVR isn't justified. Class 10 UHS-1 speed rating supports sustained continuous-write video streams without dropped frames, which matters more than peak burst speed for 24/7 surveillance workloads.
Compatibility
Built for ACTi camera models with a microSD/microSDXC expansion slot rated for 256GB capacity. Confirm the specific ACTi camera model's maximum supported card capacity and filesystem requirements before ordering, since older ACTi camera firmware may cap out below 256GB. This card is not a substitute for centralized storage in multi-camera installs — pair it with a networked video recorder for sites running more than a few cameras. Review the ACTi camera catalog for models with confirmed microSD slots, and see the network video recorders category for centralized alternatives.
Installation Notes
Format the card in the host camera, not a PC, so the camera's firmware writes its expected filesystem structure. Power down or use the camera's safe-eject function before removing the card to avoid corrupting in-progress recordings. For guidance on sizing onboard versus networked storage across a camera deployment, see this storage and retention planning guide. If you're still finalizing camera selection, the camera selection guide covers how edge storage factors into that decision, and a PoE switch is worth reviewing if you're powering multiple cameras on the same segment as this card's host device.
