Rev. 1 Micronet SmartCAM™ - Hardware Guide 7 / 50
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 3
rd
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.
