None

I have a sign that plays videos and displays images by hitting an HTML5 page that we serve the videos and images through.

Sometimes throughout the day we have new videos/images that need to be played so the HTML5 setup worked great for this as the page pulls in the new media from our server.

The issue is that some of the videos are slow to load over a wifi connection. Is there an API call or something that I can use on my HTML5 page to store the media locally on the SD card?

It would work on the sign booting up, hit the HTML5 page as it does now, download all media to the SD card and then play from there, throughout the day if new media appears we'd then store it on the SD card for playback as well.

Of course there is, you can use javascript to download files locally and play from storage. it's not some brightsign specific call. I'm not a javascript programmer but I can direct you to a partner that provides programming services.

If your videos don't change that often, you can publish a local version of your html site with assets so they're all local to being with.
