Saving data on the PAR-P2TEMPTABLET
Saving data on the PAR-P2TEMPTABLET & the type of encryption used
The tablet will not save any information while there is no SD card within the device. As an added security benefit, the SD Card slot is behind a security screw protected plate, and the SD card must be formatted within the tablet to store information. There is an internal 16GB EMMC card, but that is for the facial database only, nothing else can be saved to that card. As long as the tablet is standalone and not connected to an NVR or CMS, nothing else could or would be saved.
If in use, any info saved to the SD cards is encrypted and cannot be viewed on a PC unless using the required software. The encryption uses a CRC8 encryption algorithm.
