The Power Loss File Protection mechanism for the dashcam protects media files during sudden power loss events, such as major accidents or theft. During the transfer of files from temporary memory to the SD card, an abrupt power loss can cause file corruption if files were not closed properly.

This new feature includes a mechanism that retries the transfer process, ensuring proper file closure and transfer. If the transfer fails repeatedly, the temporary file is deleted to maintain system efficiency. This enhancement significantly increases the likelihood of preserving crucial media files during unexpected power interruptions, enhancing the reliability of the dashcam.

Our solution empowers Reseller partners and end-customers with greater protection of the video. It allows embedding customizable watermarks on captured videos and snapshots. The watermark is displayed on the bottom right of the media files. The enhancement deters unauthorized use and also facilitates tracking the video's origin and ownership even after it's downloaded and shared outside the platform. This data tracks proprietary rights embedded within the video itself.

You can now remotely designate dashcams as hotspots. Your security posture is enhanced by controlling the enablement of dashcams as a hotspots.

Use hotspotEnabled, to designate dashcams as mobile hotspots.

This parameter is available in the PUT/devices/{imei}/event-config, PUT/devices/event-config and POST/organizations/{orgId}/event-settings API calls.

Some cellular providers do not provide Daylight Savings Time updates, so we developed our own service for this. Use the setTimezoneByCloud parameter to configure dashcams to retrieve time zone information from the cloud, which is based on GPS data. The connection to the cloud is subject to cellular network coverage.

When the parameter is set to false, the device uses the cellular provider to determine the time. This is the default setting.

When the parameter is set to true, the cloud will translate GPS information to location and set the timezone accordingly. Time zones on the device are updated by the cloud as necessary.

This parameter is available in the PUT/devices/{imei}/event-config, PUT/devices/event-config and POST/organizations/{orgId}/event-settings API calls.

Some customers experienced audio distortions, possibly due to driving on rough roads that cause vibrations in the vehicle. To improve the user experience, we’ve updated the firmware to reduce these distortions.

We upgraded the level of data security by hardening the encryption mechanism on the device side with more robust encryption algorithms. You can assign a 64-character key in order to encrypt SD card recordings In both the Developer Portal and the Surfsight® Portal.

You can configure the key by using the recordingEncryption parameter, which is available in the PUT/devices/{imei}/event-config, PUT/devices/event-config and POST/organizations/{orgId}/event-settings API calls. You can also configure it in the Surfsight® Portal.
