Starting with V1.17 the dashcam application monitors the Driver and Road facing camera for any mounting related issues. If a mounting related issue is detected either on road or driver camera, we update the mounting status on Master Portal under diagnostics.
Configuration params for the event:
Configuration name | Details of configuration Param in WebAPI | Default Value |
| enableLensCoverDetectionRoad | Enable/disable lens cover detection for road camera | true |
| enableLensCoverDetectionDriver | Enable/disable lens cover detection for driver camera | true |
| enableBadMountingDriverDetection | Enable/disable bad mounting detection for driver camera | true |
| enableBadMountingRoadDetection | Enable/disable bad mounting detection for road camera | true |
| minDurationForLensCoveredEventsInSecs | Time taken to detect whether lens is covered or uncovered | 1800 |
| minSpeedThresholdForRoadCameraHealthMph | minimum speed threshold for enabling Road Camera Health check in miles/hour. | |
| minSpeedThresholdForDriverCameraHealthMph | minimum speed threshold for enabling Driver Camera Health check in miles/hour. | |
| newBadMountingRoadAlertCoolingOffPeriodInMins | Cool down time for bad mounting Raod event since last bad mounting, if good mounting has occurred. This is available post 1.21.0 | Default is set to 3 Hours. This can be set to as low as 1 Hour. |
newBadMountingDriverAlertCoolingOffPeriodInMins | Cool down time for bad mounting Driver event since last bad mounting, if good mounting has occurred. This is available post 1.21.0 | Default is set to 3 Hours. This can be set to as low as 1 Hour. |
repeatedBadMountingRoadAlertCoolingOffPeriodInDays | Cool down time between two consecutive road bad mounting & lens covered event. This is available post 1.21.1 | Default is set to 3 days. This can be set to as low as 1 day. |
repeatedBadMountingDriverAlertCoolingOffPeriodInDays | Cool down time between two consecutive driver bad mounting & lens covered event. This is available post 1.21.1 | Default is set to 3 days. This can be set to as low as 1 day. |

Does the module give out results for both driver and road camera?
Yes, the module runs independently for both Driver camera frames and Road camera frames and Mounting events are separately given out for each of them.
Is there a config to disable these modules?
Yes, the asset-Config:
enableLensCoverDetectionRoad will enable/disable Camera Obstruction for Road Camera frames (by default it is enabled).
enableLensCoverDetectionDriver will enable/disable Camera Obstruction for
Driver Camera frames (by default it is enabled).
enableBadMountingDriverDetection will enable/disable Camera Health check for Driver camera(by default it is enabled).
enableBadMountingRoadDetectionwill enable/disable Camera Health check for Road camera(by default it is enabled).
* repeatedBadMountingRoadAlertCoolingOffPeriodInMins &
repeatedBadMountingDriverAlertCoolingOffPeriodInMins are deprecated to avoid confusion as the name indicates the metrics to be in mins but it is treated as days. Instead it is suggested to use repeatedBadMountingRoadAlertCoolingOffPeriodInDays &
repeatedBadMountingDriverAlertCoolingOffPeriodInDays.
