several parts of the vehicle at the same time.

2Principles of Operation
RS232 cameras can be configured to take pictures at regular intervals, during configured events or
on demand via an SMS command. If the tracking device has an SD card, the pictures will be stored
in the card and sent to a server upon request. If the camera folder on the SD card is full, the oldest
picture will be overwritten. If the folder is full and there are no pictures on the card, the taken picture
will be discarded. After receiving the pictures, the server can then send a request to delete them
from the SD card to conserve memory. A maximum of 2000 pictures can be stored in the camera
folder.
If the tracking device does not have an SD card, one picture will be stored. No other pictures will be
taken until the server sends a request to delete the picture.
If you insert/remove the SD card, the tracking device should be restarted to ensure the
correct operation.
Every time after the start/restart of the tracking device, a GPS fix must be obtained to
automatically synchronize time with the RS232 camera.
