For example, if you request a video from, say, 9:00 AM GMT+0, and the camera time is GMT+0 (matches our device's time), it is all fine. But if you were to configure time zone later to, for instance, GMT+10, the camera time will be set according to that time zone (time forwarded by 10 hours in this case). Which means that time gets forwarded with no real continuation as the camera does not understand the concept of time zones, it just uses time that we set. For continuation reasons in our device, we continue using GMT+0 in the camreq and then compensate with time zone if needed. The result of that, if we send the same request command as before (when requesting 9:00 AM video) with time zone GMT+10 set, the camera will receive video request for 7 PM (19:00) and the videos were not recorded at that time which will result in "file doesn't exist".

== Camera control using DOUT1 ==
'''It is possible to control the camera ON/OFF state using DOUT1 control in the "Features" selections.''' In order to achieve
this functionality, please see the connection diagram located in the First start page.
DOUT 1 Output Type has selections of either normal or inverted. Selecting inverted will make the dualcam turn on when the DOUT1 state will be 0 and turn off the the state changes to 1 and vice versa. This is recommended as inverted selection will turn on the camera upon turning on you FMx device. When 'Normal' is selected, you will need to send an SMS message to the device requesting to turn on DOUT1 every time '''IF DOUT control via ignition''' is not turned on.
Dout control via ignition stands for controlling DOUT when the ignition turns on, this setting can be chosen instead of Inverted dout. Please make sure ignition settings in the 'System' tab is correctly set and the device will turn on when the ignition of the vehicle is on. Ignition Off Timeout is a specified amount of seconds which the device will wait after ignition turns off before turning the device off. If the ignition comes back within the specified timeframe, timeout will turn off and the camera will not be turned off.
DOUT deactivation via DIN turns of Dualcam when the state of DIN1 changes. This can be set with a button which when pressed will disable DOUT1 thus ensuring camera has no power.
