===Connecting two cameras simultaneously for FMx650===
 +
------------------
 +
The new feature for FMx650 DashCam configuration, which is available from '''03.00.14.Rev.114 iCamera''' allows you to connect two of your cameras at once. Method for connection and configuration stays the same, for this you are only required to choose '''two''' cameras in '''"RS232 \ RS485"''' tab from the configurator.
 +
 +
In the new functionality, you are able to connect any combo of the cameras by your wish, as an example: you are able to connect ''DashCam/Dualcam'', ''DashCam/DSM'', ''DSM/DSM'', ''DualCam/DualCam'' and etc.

==File Transfer priority==
 +
Filet transfer priority allows changing the priority of the specific type (photo or video) when both types are ready at once. The file transfer priority can be the following:
 +
<ul>
 +
  <li>Picture — the photo type of files will be prioritized. </li>
 +
  <li>Video — the video type of files will be prioritized. </li>
 +
  <li>Alternating — the priority will be changing from picture to video and vice versa after each file transmission. </li>
 +
</ul>

===Crash Detection Functionality using DOUT===
 +
 +
'''The crash detection feature''' is a crucial capability provided by our device. It enhances evidential documentation through video or photo evidence in the event of a crash. However, activating this functionality necessitates a direct connection of the camera to a power source. Nonetheless, such a direct connection can lead to '''battery drainage'''.
 +
 +
To circumvent this issue, we recommend utilizing DOUT and a relay for connection. This setup enables control via SMS or GPRS command, or through predefined scenarios within our device. By activating DOUT post-ignition, the camera receives power, allowing it to function and record evidence even after the ignition is turned off following a crash. '''For your convenience, the connection scheme can be found here: [[DashCam First Start]]'''
 +
 +
'''It is important to note that in the event of a fatal crash where fatalities may occur,''' we cannot guarantee the retrieval of video or photo evidence due to the severity of the accident. Moreover, both the camera and the device itself may sustain irreparable damage in such instances
