Overview
Firmware version 1.24.3 includes a range of improvements to camera intelligence, event detection accuracy, and general system reliability. Most of these changes happen automatically in the background — you don't need to do anything. This article explains what's changed and what it means for you day-to-day.
What's Improved?
Smarter Stop Sign Detection
The camera will no longer raise an alert for stop signs that aren't relevant to the vehicle's direction of travel — for example, a sign on a side road that the driver isn't turning onto. The system now factors in vehicle speed to determine whether a stop sign actually applies, which should significantly reduce unnecessary alerts on busy roads and intersections.
Better Distraction Detection in Low Light
Driver pose estimation (the way the camera reads head and body position to detect distraction) has been improved for low-light conditions. If your vehicles operate at dawn, dusk, or in poorly lit areas like mine sites or tunnels, you should see more accurate distraction detection with fewer missed events.
Fewer False Positives for Seatbelt, Phone, and Drink Events
Several refinements have been made to reduce incorrect alerts:
- Seatbelt detection has been tuned to reduce false positives — situations where the camera flagged a seatbelt issue when the driver was actually buckled in.
- Phone use (calling/texting) and drinking detection has been improved, particularly for cases where the vehicle is stationary. Previously, if the speed threshold was set above zero, the camera could still trigger an alert for behaviour detected while the vehicle wasn't moving. This has been corrected.
- Smoking detection has been updated to catch more genuine events that were previously being missed.
More Accurate Trip Route Tracking
GPS points along a trip route were previously recorded every 8 seconds. They are now logged more frequently when the vehicle is cornering, giving a more accurate representation of the actual route taken. This is particularly useful for reviewing driver behaviour on winding roads or in complex work sites.
Improved DVR Footage Availability Reporting
The system now periodically updates the server with the earliest available footage timestamp from the camera's SD card. This means the platform will more accurately reflect what footage is actually available for review, reducing confusion when searching for older clips.
Faster Re-Provisioning via Panic Button
If a camera has been de-provisioned (disconnected from the system), pressing the panic button will now immediately trigger a re-provisioning attempt. This can speed up the process of getting a camera back online without needing to wait for the next scheduled check-in.
Bugs Fixed
| Issue | What Was Happening | What's Fixed |
|---|---|---|
| SD card status reporting | Faulty SD cards entering a read-only state weren't being flagged correctly | The system now correctly identifies and reports read-only SD card faults |
| Audio alert language resetting | If the camera restarted mid-language download, it would revert to English (US) | The camera now retains the previously configured language after a restart |
| Lizard eye event within cooldown | Lizard eye events were occasionally being triggered within the cooldown window | This has been corrected so cooldown periods are properly respected |
| Drowsy driving pre-event video duration | The setting controlling how many seconds of pre-event video is captured for drowsy driving events was being ignored, defaulting to 9 seconds regardless of configuration | The camera now correctly applies whatever value has been configured |
| Clock resetting after power loss | The device time was resetting to the firmware default after a power cut | Time is now preserved correctly after power interruptions |
| Automatic timezone detection | GPS-based timezone detection wasn't working correctly, causing trips and safety events to display the wrong time | Timezone detection from GPS is now working as expected |
| Speed sign violation false positives | Too many incorrect speed sign alerts were being generated | Detection accuracy has been significantly improved, with far fewer false positives |
