1. Introduction

1 .1 Overview

JC500 uses a high-performance quad-core ARM CPU, integrates a high-performance GNSS module, a 4G communication module, a WiFi module, and a BT module, and features 1080P HD cameras (optional), a 6-axis gravity sensor, RS232 ports, and extended I/O ports. The input supply is 9–36V. These features enable JC500 to: upload data; pinpoint, track, and monitor vehicles; and collect video data, mileage, fuel consumption, and Boolean values. Besides, driving behavior analysis and the driver monitoring system (DMS) underpinned by advanced software technologies make JC500 suitable for the rental, logistics, public transport, engineering, and many more industries.

  They are normally saved in:
  Videos captured by the front-view camera:
  DVRMEDIA/CarRecorder/GENERAL/ForwardCam/
  Videos captured by the rear-view camera:
  DVRMEDIA/CarRecorder/general/InwardCam/

• Videos are recorded cyclically, that is, when the TF card reaches the full capacity, old videos will be overwritten by new ones.

• The device will sound an alert every 5mins when the free space of the TF card is less than 800MB or no TF card is identified.

• Upon the detection of a collision, the device will capture a 15s video (7s before and 8s after the time to trigger) and save the video to “DVRMEDIA/CardRecroder/EVENT”. The event videos can be uploaded to a file server designated by you.

1.5.3 Remote Real-time Monitoring
You can watch real-time videos via the mobile app or web client.

1.5.4 WiFi

ACC ON| You can configure whether to enable the WiFi hotspot of your device upon ACC ON.
