Configuration Tool

Record Tab

Resolution: choose from VGA, HD (720p) or FHD (1080p)
*CH2 is limited to D1 only

Frame Rate: Choose from 30, 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1

Quality: Standard, High, or Super bitrate. (The lower the quality, the more lossy the video output).

Record Modes

Event: Only events are recorded, event video duration determined by the pre & post event setting.

Continuous: Records video continuously, no events (events can still be sent to Smart API server if configured on the Server tab).

Dual Mode: Records continuous at 1FPS + events at the specified FPS.

If Dual Mode is set, you can adjust the SD card partition for event and continuous video by adjusting the slider setting left or right.

Telematics Data (DRV file) is recorded and stored separately from video and events. Set the local storage duration here.

Audio recording can be turned on or off

Parking Mode reduces the FPS to 1 when the vehicle is idle for 5 minutes (Continuous Mode option only).

Automatically Remove Data
You can set the device to automatically delete the SD card Telematics Data and/or the Video Data. Check the box to enable the auto delete function and the data retention time.

Encryption No. 4 digit passcode to protect the SD card data from being easily viewed with the Analysis software.
Record Tab

Event Tab – G Sensor

Events can be turned on/off per each camera channel (event mode and dual mode only).

“Beep” controls the audible chime in the vehicle

Check this box to increase G- Sensor threshold at higher vehicle speeds.

G-Sensor Sensitivity Settings.
X = Front/Rear Y=Left/Right Z= Up/Down
Hz = the amount of times in a row
the G -Sensor level must be exceeded before trigger

E call is a severe impact G -Sensor which can be configured to send emergency notifications separately from lower level shock events.

Turn Z -Axis on: when enabled, the Z axis on the G -Sensor (up/down) will be activated.

When checked, only Ecall and Shock events will trigger (accel, brake, and turn events will be ignored).
Event Tab

The Event tab will allow you to specify which events will trigger a recording (Event record mode or Dual record mode only).

Check the boxes next to each event you want triggered.

You can also set speed thresholds here if you’d like to record over speed events. (This is raw vehicle speed and does not account for road/posted speed limits)

Check “Beep” if you’d like an audible chime to alert the driver when the event occurs

Alarm In: If using the optional alarm input triggers (Alarm1: orange wire, Alarm2: green wire) then you need to check the box(s) here and label them according to the input type (i.e. horn, lights, door open, etc.)

Also the input type should be selected (NC/NO, or 12V ON/OFF).

Alarm Out: if selected, will send a 5V output from the Yellow wire to a 3rd party device for the duration selected in the dropdown.

Wake Up: when enabled, the CP2 will power up when the Alarm Input is triggered.
(CP2 will stay online for the same amount of time set in the Register Interval setting).
Event Tab

Geofence Type: In or out (vehicle enters or exits geozone(s)
Beep: audible alert from the camera when geofence event occurs
Mask Ch: Select camera channel(s) to disable video recording during geofence events
Mask Audio: disable audio recording during geofence events
Zone Selection: set up to 20 geofence zones

Info Tab – Date/Time

Time setting is not necessary as the PC Viewer software and Smart API both adjust the standard UTC time to local time automatically.

DST (Optional) Check the box to enable the daylight saving time. Input the start & end date.

DO NOT USE IF CP2 IS CONNECTED TO SMART API

Time Sync
Keep this enabled to ensure the GPS time is continuously synched with the CP2 operating system time.
Info Tab

Auto Format Feature: Allows CP2 to automatically format a blank SD card for use.

Ignition Off Filter

Filter Duration specifies how long the device will maintain the ignition status as true when the G-sensor Threshold value exceeds the set mG. In the pictured settings, if the power drops from the vehicle ignition source (due to Smart Alternator or other reason) and the g-sensor values are 50 or above, then the device will maintain Ignition ON status for 5 seconds.

Vehicle No & Driver ID can be added here. These values will be able to be watermarked on the MP4 converted video using the desktop analysis software (PC or MAC).

System Warning

Provides an alert in case system issue is detected.

Source
- SD Card: is not recognized or writing is failed.
- Temperature: Alerts when device temp is over 80°C
- Video Loss: Video signal loss from camera(s).
- AUX: Any error detected from an external serial accessory which is connected.
Event
- Beep: CP2 will make an audible alert when the selected warning events occur
- Popup: A message will appear on the LCD monitor
- Alarm LED: RED LED on CP2 will turn on
- Alarm Out: 5V signal will send out from the CP2 alarm out wire.

NOTE: if system warning event is enabled at the source section, any corresponding event message will send to Smart API server.
Info Tab

Connectivity Tab

When using CP2 as a connected device, “Enable” the connectivity here

Mobile Network:
*99# can be used for all networks except for Verizon and Sprint.

APN is not required. CP2 will automatically receive the APN information via the cellular module.

If Sim requires a username and password, the APN, User ID, and Password must be entered (CHAP/PAP authentication is automatically assigned)

WiFi: CP2 has built-in WiFi. You can enable WiFi connectivity instead of celluar connectivity. The AP must be secure with WPA/WPA2 encryption and have a password of at least 8 characters (cannot be an open network)

You can set up to 10 WiFi SSIDs. CP2 will scan for as many networks as are added here in its settings.
Connectivity Tab

Server Tab

Smart Witness or your service provider will provide you the URL and (if necessary) the License Key to enter here.

Transmit Live Tracking Data: Check to enable http posts from the CP2 to server. Livetrack2 contains GPS coordinates. LiveTrack3 does not.

Transmit Event Data: Check to enable CP2 posting event notification and images to the server.

Transmit Telematics Data: Check to enable CP2 to send DRV data (static/compressed file containing drive data from every second the vehicle is in operation.

Note: The frequency interval of Live Track and DRV uploads are controlled by the server.

Select the events here which the CP2 will transmit to the server in real-time. These events will transmit instantly even if CP2 is set as “Continuous” record mode. The events with contain the amount of images set in the pre/post event dropdowns.

Click ‘Save’ and select the “FHDRM” SD drive when prompted. This will save your configuration to the card. Wait for the software to confirm the settings have been applied to the SD Card.

You can now eject the SD from your PC and insert into CP2 and power on.
Server Tab

CP2 G-Sensor Threshold Table (pre-set options)

Low Speed Table

High Speed Table

Speed Mode: When auto adjust G-Sensor to vehicle speed is checked, G-Sensor threshold will increase to levels specified in the right table when the vehicle reaches 20 KMh. The threshold will go back to settings in the left table when vehicle goes below 10 KMh.
