'''Teltonika DualCam''' solution is perfect for capturing videos or pictures of the events that might occur on the road, e.g. crash. Mounted on the vehicle front window, two cameras are used, front and rear, to record videos before and after the events, take photos periodically or by request and send all data to the server.
==Introduction to the product==
 
Teltonika DualCam is connected to FMX125 and FMU126 devices using the RS232 interface. <br><br>

==Installation==
+
DualCam is connected to '''FMB125, FMC125 and FMB225, FMC225 and FMC650''' devices using the RS232 interface.
To connect the DualCam to a supported device, you have to make sure to connect 4 PINs of the camera to the PINs of your device correctly.

===Periodic image sending scenario===
 
Periodic image sending triggers photo capture from a front camera, whenever the timeout is reached (sending interval parameter). If a camera has not finished uploading picture to a server, then the photo capture is skipped.

==Video presentation about DualCam==
===Video sending by trigger===
 
Video sending by trigger scenario monitors the selected trigger (video sending trigger parameter) and captures video before and after the event (video duration before trigger and video duration after trigger parameters). If the previously captured video has not finished downloading, then a new video capture is skipped until the old one has been sent. When this scenario is triggered, high priority eventual record is generated with the value corresponding to what triggered the scenario. See the table below.

==Camera ping transmission and TF status checking==
 
Camera pinging was implemented to periodically check if a camera is connected to a device. This is done via “Get TF status” command for both front and rear camera every 20 seconds when ignition is on. The received result from this command is stored in two corresponding AVL elements “Front camera state” and “Rear camera state”. The following do not only store TF status, but also if response from the camera was received or not.

==Camera RTC synchronization==
 
Camera RTC synchronization is done anytime the device itself is synchronized (via NTP, NITZ or GNSS).
 
<br>
 
 
 
==Other camera related functionality==
 
Camera is configured if all of these conditions are met:
 
 
 
#'''RS232 mode is selected (DualCam)'''
 
#'''Camera was not configured since startup or one of the related parameters were changed (compression, framerate or OSD)'''
 
#'''Camera file transfer is not active'''
 
 
 
Active camera reconfiguration is accompanied by two consecutive camera shutter clicks.
 
If camera is disconnected and later reconnected, a device will detect it by periodic camera ping packet. Once camera is detected, the device will reissue the reconfiguration procedure.
 
<br>
 
===Camera file transfer reconnection===
 
If FMU1YX device has bad reception, server is not reachable or wrong server details are configured, then the device tries to open a link to a camera server few consecutive times. If no connection was possible to be established, then the connection is postponed for 30 minutes and tried again (or tried every configured sending interval if periodic image sending is enabled).
 
<br>
 
 
 
==DualCam camera file transfer support==
 
[[Image:CameraServerSettings.PNG|{{{general|size}}}|right]]
 
Once camera has at least one file captured, it starts connection to a remote server, which is configured by parameters “Domain” and “Port” found in the “Camera Settings” tab.
 
<br>
 
 
 
==Initialization packet==
 
On connection, a device sends an initialization packet.

==Communication protocol==
 
'''Close a session command (CMD ID 0x0000)'''<br>
 
In case when a device connects to a server, but the server does not expect it to connect, server will respond by sending a CLOSE command after which the connection will be terminated. This command is also used when device connects to a server for a custom file sending and server finishes to send all custom files to the device.

'''Resume file transfer command (CMD ID 0x0002)'''<br>
 
In a response to the START command a RESUME command must be sent from a server.

! rowspan="1" style="width: 400px; background: #0054A6; color: white;" |'''Command ID'''

| rowspan="1" style="text-align: center; style=" width: 150px; background: white; color: black;" |0x00000000
 
|}
 
To begin a file transfer from the start, offset should be set to zero (4 bytes value). In case when the file transfer has been interrupted, to resume file transfer, offset can be set to the desired value (0 ≤ [offset] ≤ [file size]).
 
<br>
 
<br>
 
'''Synchronize file transfer command (CMD ID 0x0003)'''<br>
 
In a response to the RESUME command a SYNC command is sent from device.

| rowspan="1" style="text-align: center; style=" width: 150px; background: white; color: black;" |0x00000000
 
|}
 
By sending a SYNC command, it is ensured that the next data command will contain a file data starting from the specified offset.
 
<br>
 
<br>
 
'''File data transfer command (CMD ID 0x0004)'''<br>
 
After sending a SYNC command, a file data transfer is started by sending DATA commands.

|}
 
A File data is split into 1024 byte parts, each part wrapped into a DATA command and is sent. <br>
 
Note: ''if a command with a bad CRC is received, RESUME command should be sent with the last valid file offset, after receiving a RESUME command, server will stop sending DATA commands and continue communication from'' '''“Resume file transfer”''' ''step.''<br>
 
CRC polynomial expression: 0x8408
 
Initial value, when calculating CRC, is previously received packet (CMD ID 0x0004) CRC value.
 
<br>
 
<br>
 
'''File transfer status command (CMD ID 0x0005)'''<br>
 
After a file transfer is completed and no more files are required from the device, a server should send a COMPLETED command to the device (this command does not work after executing repeat init command0 x0009 – in this case the server should send a CLOSE SESSION 0x0000 command mentioned before).

After a COMPLETED command device should disconnect from the server.

<br>
 
'''Initialization packet repeat command (CMD ID 0x0009)'''<br>
 
When sent, the initialization packet is repeated. This is used, when all of the files are downloaded and additional check is carried out for any additional files, that may have been captured during the download operation.

Main Page > Video Solutions > Teltonika DualCam

Teltonika DualCam solution is perfect for capturing videos or pictures of the events that might occur on the road, e.g. crash. Mounted on the vehicle front window, two cameras are used, front and rear, to record videos before and after the events, take photos periodically or by request and send all data to the server.

Also the possibility to connect two cameras, DSM and DashCam or DualCam, to one device, FMC650. By utilizing the two RS232 ports on the FMC650, you can connect the DSM camera for driver status monitoring to one port and the DualCam or DashCam camera for road and cargo monitoring to the second port. Configuration

DualCam is connected to FMB125, FMC125 and FMB225, FMC225 and FMC650 devices using the RS232 interface.
