I've tried several SD cards in my ViviCam T027 but the camera won't read any of them. Is there a simple solution? It hasn't worked since I got the camera. Thx!

Try these procedures.

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

What kind of card is it? If it's an SD card, try sliding the little slider on the side of it to unlock it, so it's not read-only

What size is the memory card. If it's larger than 4GB then it won't work in the 5118.
Try using another card. Don't format it in your computer but do format it in the camera before trying to take pictures.

that problem passed with my friend..you may change your batterie and maybe it works...if it works plz rank this solution!

Sorry to tell you, but your older camera will not work with 4GB or higher SDHC cards. Your camera was designed before SDHC format came out. You'll need to use 2GB or less standard SD cards. These are relatively inexpensive these days, and are easily found on Amazon, just in case your local store no longer carries them. For others reading, there are several other possible causes for memory card problems, with troubleshooting steps that may be viewed here.

Yes, this camera uses an SD card, up to 32GB in size.

The ViviCam T027 can use SD and SDHC cards.

Remove the card from its slot, try to clean the card slots terminal connector. a small cotton buds with alcohol would be enough. Make sure to set the lock of the card to open position. Insert the card to its slot and open the camera to see if the message disappeared.

Hi there

Funny, I recently bought the exact same model. The answer to your question is simple (that's the good news!)

A long time ago, when these small SD Cards first appeared, they were limited in capacity from 128 Megabytes (MB) to a maximum capacity of 2 Gigabytes (GB).

To enable the same size card to store a greater capacity, a new specification had to be created. This new spec. was SDHC, and allowed the cards to store from 4 GB up to 32 GB.

The confusion arises because people still refer to all these cards as 'SD cards' when the higher capacity cards should really be called 'SDHC' cards.

Your camera will accept standard SDHC cards. Just make sure you don't order 'mini' cards which are much smaller in dimension.

Hope this clears up the confusion.
