    Abstract: A memory system having multiple address tables to translate logical addresses to physical addresses at different granularity levels is disclosed. For example, a first address table is associated with a first block size of translating logical addresses for accessing system files and application files; and a second address table is associated with a second block size of translating logical addresses for storing and/or retrieving data from an image sensor of a surveillance camera. A user interface can be used to access a configuration option to specify the second block size; and a user may indicate a typical size of an image or video file to be recorded by the surveillance camera to calculate the second block size and thus configure the second address table for a partition to record the image or video files.
