1. Introduction
Micronet SmartCAM Platform Overview
In today’s commercial Telematics industry there is a growing demand for onboard devices that not only
send sensor data from the vehicle and driver environment for backend processing, but devices that also
analyze, detect, and notify the driver in real-time of any potential safety risks, operational errors, and
protocol violations. Events such as near-collision, tailgating, unsafe lane departures, hard
braking/cornering/accelerating, stop sign violations, speeding, distracted driving, driver fatigue, and
more comprise a rich dataset that is used by fleet managers to measure their drivers’ skills and
performance. It is also used to deploy training and education programs that result in improved fleet
safety, reduced insurance claims and premiums, higher up-time, and lower maintenance costs.
The Micronet SmartCAM™ enables fleet managers to address all these safety events not only through
conventional Telematic sensors such as GPS, 3D accelerometer, I/O, and CANbus, but also by providing
the ‘Full Picture’ through a rich set of real-time, onboard video analytics and AI capabilities enabled by a
dual automotive-grade camera for road and in-cabin monitoring all packaged into a single device. This
saves costly installations of separate ELD device installations for Telematics, ADAS, and DashCams. It
also saves upload data due to the local video analytics processing done on the device and its powerful
computing platform.
With the ability to run multiple applications simultaneously, the Micronet SmartCAM™ allows Telematics
Service Providers and System Integrators to extend their offering beyond their applications and provide
customers with advanced 3rd party mobility and video analytics applications.
In the Vehicle
Placed on the vehicle windshield, the Micronet SmartCAM™ functions as a high-end camera and onboard
Telematics computer. With integrated GPS, rear and front cameras, cellular communications, various
sensors, and support for a variety of vehicle-bus and peripheral interfaces, the Micronet SmartCAM™
enables a host of Fleet Management and Video Analytics solutions such as: ADAS, Driver Fatigue,
ELD/HOS, fleet tracking, driver behavior, real-time driver coaching and fuel management, remote
diagnostics, DVIR, backend communications, and much more.
The Micronet SmartCAM’s two cameras, together with its powerful processor and memory, allows it to
run advanced algorithms required for video analysis applications like tailgate monitoring, unsafe lane
departures, collision warnings, speed limit and stop sign detection, driver fatigue, distracted drivers,
driver ID, and passenger counting.

With a rich set of wireless and wired interfaces – Wi-Fi hotspot, BT tethering and BLE, Bluetooth audio,
NFC, Wi-Fi Direct, multiple CAN channels (including open/customizable CAN libraries), and multiple I/Os
– the Micronet SmartCAM™ can function as an in-cabin hub to easily connect with other devices,
sensors, and accessories. Driver notification features such as system status LEDs, warning indicators,
internal speakers, and microphone are also provided for device control and driver alerting purposes.
The Micronet SmartCAM™ lets drivers remain safe, effective, and efficient with on-the-go connectivity –
anytime and anywhere – using cellular communication and Wi-Fi. Its durable design withstands shocks
and a range of temperatures, allowing drivers to operate freely in any environment. Installed on the
windshield, the Micronet SmartCAM™ has a perfect view of the road and the cabin.
The Micronet SmartCAM™ is a superior and cost-effective solution for Video Telematics.
Micronet SmartCAM Models
Micronet has implemented the SmartCAM™ platform in three product variants: The Basic Model, an
Intermediate Model, and Enhanced Model. These models include powerful computing, extended
memory, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and more. In addition, each model supports a set of additional
features:
• Basic Model – provides support for 2 cameras, a QC SDM450 chipset (2GB/16GB memory), and
additional storage for DVR recording. This model is described in more detail in the Basic Model.
• Intermediate Model – In addition to the Basic Model, the Intermediate Model provides 4G LTE.
• Enhanced Model - provides basic + enhanced key features set, described in Enhanced Model
list below.
The following Table 1 distinguishes each model for their specific components:

prevent tampering. It is an option when a fix mount installation is required. The fix mount lock parts
include one screw to prevent pushing the latch and an adhesive cover to hide the screw.
LED and Buzzer
The LED and buzzer are used to alert the driver that the Micronet SmartCAM™ is not locked in place.
This alert is enabled by default. The cradle’s MCU firmware provides an API to disable both the LED and
buzzer if required.

10. SmartCAM™ Installation
Mechanical Installation
Mounting Sunshield
The mountable sunshield of the Micronet SmartCAM™ should be attached to the vehicle’s windshield
using the adhesive provided in the DTK for installation.
The fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding adhesive method provides high strength and long-term
durability. It is virtually invisible and keeps surfaces smooth. It can replace mechanical fasteners
(rivets, welds, screws) or liquid adhesives, eliminate drilling, grinding, refinishing, screwing, welding
and associated clean-up. It also creates a permanent seal against water, moisture and more.
Mounting Location and Dimensions
The sunshield can rotate every 8 degrees for click-turn positioning with two adhesive pads. Place the
adhesive pads on the mounting sunshield as shown in the figure below:
Rev. 3 Micronet SmartCAM™ - Hardware Guide 41 / 50
Adhesive pads
Figure 18: Micronet SmartCAM™ Rear Panel Mounting Sunshield with Adhesive
Windshield Spacing
To mount the sunshield after applying the adhesive pads, press the sunshield firmly on to the vehicle
windshield about four inches above the wiper blade path slightly off-center to the right like below:

Device Installation Steps
1. Determine the optimal positioning of the Micronet SmartCAM™ in the vehicle that provides easy
access and a clear view of both the road and the display.
2. Attach the two adhesive pads to the mounting sunshield of the Micronet SmartCAM™ (make sure
the sunshield is free of dust and debris.
3. Press and hold the mounting sunshield with adhesive pads on the pre-determined windshield
position for at least 30 seconds.
4. Follow the cable installation steps as described in Electrical Installation.

testing. These are listed below:
Access Point Configuration:
NOTE: No cellular connections are vailable in the SmartCAM Basic model which requires the device to
connect via Wi-Fi. Active WiFi-Direct connections should NOT be available in specific cases i.e. no
application may use the device in WiFi-Direct or Hotspot mode when update is scheduled to allow
device connecting client AP in station mode.
BUG – Cellular Access Points (APs) are not pre-defined through a configuration files; neither are the
APs automatically generated upon booting the Micronet SmartCAM with microSIM cards.
WORKAROUND (temporary) – Customers should predefine AP data in the Micronet SmartCAM Wi-Fi
settings for internet connectivity.
z
SD Card Format Error:
BUG – When an SD Card is inserted to the SmartCAM, the Android OS attempts to format it as
"Internal" (application) storage, which fails and displays “Not Supported” (This is a specific version
limitation).
WORKAROUND (temporary) – To use the "External" (data storage) of the SD card, we recommend
formatting it externally on a PC as FAT32 file system prior to inserting the SD card it to the Micronet
SmartCAM device. Doing this will ensure correct behavior of the SD card as external storage.
Battery Depletion Reboot:
BUG – When the battery is depleted below a 5% threshold the Micronet SmartCAM will start booting in
a reboot loop after charging for some moments.
FIX IN PROGRESS – Should be fixed by using correct battery profile in firmware.
Battery Not Charging:
BUG – The Micronet SmartCAM’s battery won’t fully charge and it depletes too fast due to the absence
of customized battery profile.
FIX IN PROGRESS – Should be fixed by using correct battery profile in firmware.

Roadside Camera Performace:
BUG – The Micronet SmartCAM’s roadside camera performance is degraded due to an uncalibrated
camera sensor.
FIX IN PROGRESS – Will be fixed by applying correct camera calibrations.
Microphone Gain:
BUG – The Micronet SmartCAM’s external microphone doesn’t provide sufficient gain.
FIX IN PROGRESS – The PCB will require a resistor of lesser value to provide the best possible gain.
IR LED Brightness:
BUG – The Micronet SmartCAM’s Infrared LED brightness of the driver side camera needs to be fine-
tuned for optimal performance.
FIX IN PROGRESS – Currently undergoing testing.
