'''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>

'''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. '''[https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/DualCam_Configuration#Connecting_two_cameras_simultaneously_for_FMx650 Configuration]'''
  
Teltonika DualCam can hold 2 x microSD cards, which are inserted on both sides of the camera (front and rear). <br>
+
DualCam is connected to '''FMB125, FMC125 and FMB225, FMC225 and FMC650''' devices using the RS232 interface.
When the card is inserted correctly, it locks in with a "click". How the cards are inserted is depicted in the photos.

===Periodic image sending scenario===
 
Periodic image sending triggers photo capture from a front camera, whenever the timeout is reached (sending interval parameter).
 
 
'''Update: Since 03.27.03.Rev.04 firmware''', Periodic Image Sending Enable/Disable switch was replaced by a camera selection:
 
* Both cameras deselected – periodic image sending is disabled (value 0)
 
* Front camera selected – front camera’s pictures will be sent periodically (value 1)
 
* Rear camera selected – rear camera’s pictures will be sent periodically (value 2)
 
* Both cameras selected – both cameras’ pictures will be sent periodically (value 3)
 
If the camera has not finished uploading pictures to the server, then the photo capture is skipped.
 
 
 
===Camera Scenario Mode===
 
 
 
The options On Ignition and Always determine the working mode.
 
 
 
'''On Ignition''' means the camera scenarios will operate the way it was up to '''03.27.03.Rev.105''', that is it will work only when the ignition is detected.
 
 
 
'''Always''' mode means the camera scenarios will work all the time, including whenever the device is in sleep mode (excepting Ultra sleep mode during which scenario is disabled). During sleep footage requests (if the network is available), periodic image sending and triggers work as well.
 
 
 
'''Warning:''' using Always mode, depending on the configuration, the device might wake up from sleep very frequently. That has to be taken into consideration when configuring the scenarios.
 
 
 
===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.

===Image sending trigger===
 
 
 
'''Added''' Image sending trigger option (works the same way as Video sending trigger just triggers image sending). Both front and rear images will be sent.
 
 
 
For selecting multiple options using SMS/GPRS commands, add values of every option and set that value for this parameter.
 
 
 
For example, to set DIN1 (2), Crash (8), and Unplug (128) scenarios as triggers, add their values (2 + 4 + 128 = 138) and set the sum as the parameter value
 
 
 
===Camera firmware version===
 
 
 
Additional SMS/GPRS command for cameras’ firmware checking. Since both cameras are separate, there are two versions returned.

==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>
 
 
 
== How to read camera data from SD card ==
 
The software for reading camera data can be downloaded [https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/wikibase/images/e/ed/TF_CardVideoPlayer_v1.14.zip here]
 
 
 
Data reading steps:
 
 
 
# Double-click “VideoPlayer.exe” to open the player
 
# When the software starts, first select the directory where the TF card files are located. Once located, click "OK". The software starts analyzing the pictures and videos existing in the TF card files.
 
# Software will automatically detect the video and picture in the TF card files, which will last for a few seconds and then enter the software, as shown.,
 
The upper part of the software is a calendar. You can choose to view whether there is a
 
video in the current month according to the year and month. The number of the year/month can be entered by keyboard after selecting it, and then press the “Enter” key to jump to the entered year/month. You can press [[File:Button1.png|frameless|21x21px]] to view the previous year/month and [[File:Button2.png|frameless|21x21px]] to view the next year/month. The date of the recorded video in the current month will be marked in blue. The lower part of the software is the preview interface, divided into two parts: "'''Video''' '''View'''" and "'''Image View'''".
 
 
 
[[File:Tfimage.png|alt=|frameless|512x512px]]
 
 
 
=== '''Video View''' ===
 
Video view shows the video information. Left click on the date of the video in the calendar, then the following "Video View" section will show which time period there is a video, as shown. For video recording, the time period during which the video is recorded will be marked in blue.
 
 
 
[[File:Vplayertime.png|alt=|frameless|506x506px]]
 
 
 
Click on the blue part of the timeline to get the time you clicked, and the video thumbnail of the current time will be displayed in the middle of the screen. The timeline length is 24 hours and it is difficult to locate the exact number of seconds. Hold down the timeline with the left mouse button and then swipe to the right to zoom in on the timeline. For example, we need to carefully view the video at 05:00-07:00. Then, the left mouse button is pressed at the 05:00 position and slide to the right to the position of 07:00, so that this part of time can be enlarged to the entire timeline.
 
 
 
'''Note''': ''If you need to restore, then left-click and hold the time axis to slide left.''
 
 
 
[[File:Vplayertime2.png|alt=|frameless|499x499px]]
 
 
 
=== Video Playback ===
 
Left click on the timeline will view the video thumbnail of the clicked time point, and double click the left mouse button to start playing the video from the current time. By default, the video will be played for two minutes from the selected time. If you click to find the location you want to play, you don't need to move the mouse, double click again will pop up the play form.

=== Image view ===
 
"Image View" displays the image information (the camera saves the image in the TF card after the person takes the initiative to take the photo, here you can see the photo taken by the camera). We first click on "Image View" to switch the software to the image page.
 
 
 
After switching to the picture interface, you can view when the photo is taken according to the directory. As shown below, after expanding the index, we can see how many pictures in total were taken.
 
[[File:Imageview1.png|left|frameless|564x564px]]
 
[[File:Imageview2.png|right|frameless|566x566px]]
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After the expansion, click the time of the image generation to see the preview on the left side. Clicking on the preview image will pop up the image viewing window. The size of the window is the size of the image itself. The scroll wheel zooms in and out of the picture. You can right click on the preview to save the original image to your hard disk.
 
[[File:Imageviwe.png|frameless|436x436px]]
 
 
 
=== Export MP4 ===
 
Click the "Convert" button [[File:Convert.png|frameless|27x27px]] to convert the video in the TF card to MP4 and export it.
 
 
 
Then first select the folder you want to export to, enter the MP4 start time and end time to be exported, and then click Export, if you need, cancel the export.
 
[[File:Exporting.png|frameless|546x546px]]
 
 
 
Then wait for the export to complete. The time of export is not certain. Depending on the performance of the computer, it takes about 1 to 5 minutes for each 1-hour duration video.
 
 
 
==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, the server will respond by sending a CLOSE command after which the connection will be terminated. This command is also used when the device connects to a server for a custom file sending and the server finishes to send all custom files to the device.

| rowspan="1" style="text-align: center; style=" width: 150px; background: white; color: black;" |0x00000001
 
|}
 
To begin file transfer from the start, offset should be set to 1 (4 bytes value). In case when the file transfer was interrupted, to resume file transfer, offset can be set to the desired value (1 ≤ [offset] ≤ [file packets]).
 
<br>
 
<br>
 
'''Synchronize file transfer command (CMD ID 0x0003)'''<br>
 
In a response to the RESUME command a SYNC command is sent from device.

By sending the SYNC command it is ensured that the next data command will contain 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, the server will stop sending DATA commands and continue communication from'' '''“Resume file transfer”''' ''step.''<br>
 
CRC polynomial expression: 0x8408
 
The initial value, when calculating CRC, is the 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).

===DualCam Checks===
 
*Check RS232 configuration, baud rate, etc. Default values should be set for the DualCam.
 
*See if both cameras are working. Try sending separate picture requests and check the result. “camreq:1:1” for the front camera and “camreq:1;2” for the rear camera. Possible responses to "camreq" command - [[Teltonika_DualCam#Camera_request_command|Camera request command]]
 
Check camera IO values in the configurator.
 
*See if the camera is physically enabled, gets power, and re-check the RS232 connections. You can also test if the camera is physically enabled by covering the light sensor on the rear camera '''(marked green in the picture below)'''. The rear camera’s IR LEDs should turn on by doing so in a dark environment.
 
 
 
[[image:DualCam_Reset.png]]
 
 
 
*If the camera seems to be enabled, check the SD card content. See if there are any files and review the footage using TF CardVideoPlayer v1.14. If there is some footage from the time the camera was turned on. The actual time in the camera might differ, therefore check older dates to see if there are any videos.
 
 
 
*If some recent video files were found, it means that the camera is working, but not responding to RS232 commands. Otherwise, the camera is either not working or not responding to commands and does not detect SD card.
 
 
 
*Check whether Codec8 Extended is enabled. Without Codec8 Extended, parameters of AVL ID 497, 498, 499 '''WILL''' not be sent.
 
 
 
[[Image:Data_protocol.gif|300px]]
 
 
 
===Possible solutions===
 
 
 
*Camera might have a problem detecting SD card. Try different cards. Try re-inserting the cards while the camera is turned on. Also, keep in mind that the smallest supported card is 16 GB.
 
*Physical camera restart. Disconnect the camera’s power supply and disconnect from the FMX125 device. Leave the camera for a few minutes like that and power it on but do not connect to the FMX125 for a few minutes. After some time, reconnect the device and check if the camera responds.
 
*Try firmware update:
 
**Upload firmware to both SD cards. The firmware file has to be the exact name “JPEG_IPC_APP” name without any extensions.
 
**Disconnect the camera from the FMX125 device.
 
**Power the camera off.
 
**Put the SD cards in.
 
**Turn the power on but do not connect to the FMX125.
 
**Wait for 3-5 minutes.
 
**Turn off the power and reconnect to the FMX125 device.
 
**Power on the camera with the FMX125 device.
 
 
 
If nothing helps and the camera is still not working or working incorrectly, log data using 2;3;9;1 filter and collect the log files.

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.
