The market of GPS tracking services is constantly expanding and tracking units on the map has already become everyday practice along with fuel level monitoring and accounting reports. Clients are aimed at comprehensive workforce management and control with the possibility to see company resources allocation with their own eyes. Considering the prevalence of high-speed mobile Internet and the reduction in prices for dash cameras we often face the necessity of video features integration into the GPS system.
For the purpose of remote video monitoring Gurtam developers integrated SmartWitness KP1 with Wialon system. In this article we’ll throw the light on KP1 testing and practical application.
All in all the device managed to address the challenge of high traffic consumption when streaming the video and further storage of video data archive due to intelligent approach for video transmission.
SmartWitness represents a comprehensive system combining dash camera and GPS terminal for remote video surveillance.
Basic equipment includes:
•Dash camera with a frame;
•External power supply unit;
•Conductors and fixing hardware set.
Depending on vehicle onboard system there are various types power supply units available. Test set is supplemented with a converter to use it in a passenger car (input voltage range of 10-32 V), additional camera, branded 8Gb SD card and 3G USB modem.

Modem discreteness is determined by the intention to unitize the use of the device with package offers from various connectivity providers, as video transmission is very traffic-consuming. Most of 3G modems easy suit the body of the device not affecting its compactness.

KP1 device with USB-extension гигаis also available. It’s used to connect larger 3G or LTE modems.
Smart Witness is equipped with 2 memory card slots for SD cards of up to 32GB for data storage. That way total non-volatile storage capacity may be extended to 64 GB.
A special key should be used to access memory cards and a modem. The lock is not so pickproof to prevent any targeted intervention, but it assures that no one is to interfere with the device during operation.

GPS antenna is incorporated into the device mounting on the windscreen and is not subject to detachment.
In general, the design and assembly quality satisfy our expectations, except for cables thickness, solid connectors and external power supply unit. To install everything in a vehicle lining system integrator will have to make quite an effort.
SmartWitness configuration is performed through configuration file created with special software and uploaded to memory card. If a device is already active in Wialon system, you can just remotely send configuration file via “upload_cfg” command.
