Dash Cam Solution

Last Updated on : 2024-10-23 08:43:58download

Solution introduction

The dash cam solution is built on top of traditional camera capabilities and offers two access options: pairing-free mode for local area network (LAN) use and 4G connectivity. In addition, this solution provides functions, such as live video streaming, video recording playback, and a local album. It also supports specialized functions like emergency snapshots, time-lapse recording, and parking monitoring to meet diverse user needs.

Core strengths

Supports two access methods: LAN and 4G.
Supports multiple cameras and camera switching.
Provides various capabilities, including driving track recording and collision detection.

Pairing methods

Pairing-free (local connection)

Compared to traditional pairing methods like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the pairing-free mode is faster and eliminates the need for a pairing process. After simply scanning a QR code to access device information, users can perform some basic functions, including peer-to-peer preview and playback.

Tap + > Scan in the upper-right corner.
Point the lens at the QR code attached to a dash cam device and scan it.
Add the dash cam device as a local device and rename it as needed after it is recognized.
Once the dash cam device is added, it will be displayed as a local device. The device can only be viewed and controlled while the mobile phone is connected to the hot spot of the device.

4G-based pairing

Select a 4G camera during pairing. The pairing steps for 4G cameras are the same as those for regular cameras, which also use QR codes for connection.

Solution panel

Sample panel

The following function modules are displayed on the Storage screen on both non-pairing and 4G devices.

Device recording: LocalAlbumBase. To hide this function, add the DP hide_local_album_base.
Local album: LocalAlbumPhoto. To hide this function, add the DP hide_local_album_photo.
Emergency snapshots: LocalAlbumSnap. Album code: ipc_emergency_record. To hide this function, add the DP hide_local_album_snap.
Time-lapse recording: LocalAlbumTimeLapse. Album code: ipc_time_lapse_record. To hide this function, add the DP hide_lapse_record.
Parking monitoring: LocalAlbumPark. Album code: ipc_parking_monitoring. To hide this function, add the DP hide_local_album_park.

Preview panel of 4G devices

Compared to non-pairing devices, the preview panel of 4G devices has an additional screen: GPS. If a device has two camera channels, a button to switch camera channels will appear at the top.

GPS functions

GPS-enabled dash cams can feature functionalities such as geofencing and tracking.

Function	Description
Geofencing	If a device with the geofencing function enabled is installed on a vehicle, the device will send an alarm notification to the mobile phone when the vehicle goes beyond the specified radius.
Tracking	Shows the track information for each vehicle ignition over the past 30 days. Users can tap a track to see detailed information and play the tracking animation.
