Hi Mark,
+
Wi-Fi:  the firmware will try to connect to SSID “bwifi” for 2.4Ghz and “bwifi5g”, WPA-2, pass: “idrive##”, for 5Ghz; depending of the availability of these networks the firmware will use as first priority 5Ghz. In this case will connect directly to “bwifi” slice there will be no 5Ghz APs;
  
We sent today the package for beta by Fedex(tracking no, 806147095240) containing the following:
+
Beta Customers - Clark Pest, Gulfmark, Parsec, Storer
-          10 X2s, fully assembled, ready to go;
 
-          20 Driver IDs, ready to go;
 
-           X2 boards, wifi modules, antennas, cables so you can build another 6 cameras using the case samples.
 
  
All the cameras/boards are labeled with the proper S/N, programmed and configured using the following:

Curt has identified 4 existing customers for participation in the X2 Beta program. They have been selected based on willingness to actively participate as well as for the vehicle types in their fleet.

X2 events require Control Center 3.0 in order to be viewed however it is impractical to upgrade the existing base station at the customer site as it would be disruptive to their existing operations.
 
 
 
Here is the plan I am recommending:
 
 
   
 
   
We will ship the customer a beta base station with 3.0 installed on it and 2 small hubs with cables. The Beta system can be installed alongside their existing base station with a Hub for the idrive wireless network and a hub for the internet connection so both connections can be shared and all that the customer will be need to supply is power. The Beta base station will have a different IP address and will share the existing Idrive Wireless network. The Beta X2 cameras will have this IP address in their configuration. No new WiFi to install, less for the customer to do, quicker path to obtaining results, less equipment.

This will be the least inconvenient for the customers and will get us feedback about CC3.0 and the X2 more quickly. We can work on the 5.8Ghz (802.11an) separately.

Hi Mark,
  
2.      Serial numbers
+
Here is a list of X2 features available for Beta:
  
:a.      Agree with your version and can be implemented starting with X2.
+
-          HD image quality, 30 fps front camera / 15 fps rear camera;
  
3.      Comments from the movies
+
-          Better image quality, ultra wide angle - glass lenses front;
  
:a.      There is no need of 2 USB ports on computer, the programmer provides a hub for this and only one USB cable is used.
+
-          Proprietary event files based on H264 video compression;
 
:b.      The SD cards could be formatted EXT4 during configuration OR NOT, this option is available under settings . However, this is a quick format, it will take less than 1min for 64GB card. Usually 64GB cards are coming formatted ExFAT which is not supported by Linux so at least in this case we need this option but I will suggest to use EXT4 for all storage cards(8GB-64Gb) is more safe – FAT can be easily corrupt. Also there is an open source Windows driver for ext3/4 that can be used to read these cards: http://www.ext2fsd.com/
 
  
:c.      Show console - this can be disabled under settings.
+
-         Better nigh time events – more sensitive image sensors and new style IR LEDs providing more light;
  
:d.     02705xxxxxx we will correct this.
+
-          WIFI 802.11 b/g/n dual band, 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz 10 times faster than X1
 +
;
 +
-          8 GB storage;
  
4.      Driver ID
+
-          Driver ID
  
:a.      These are programmed one by one(30 seconds each) and also needs to be tested after final assemble – factory tool will be used for that and a custom USB to RS232 adapter provided by us. These devices will have an unique S/N  same as X1 or X2 which are used on shipping.
+
Features we are working on:  
   
 
:b.      No, the keys are not mated with Driver Id’s, any key can be used for one driver, they are unique.
 
  
:c.      These are added one by one under shipping, based on quote – same process used now for X1.
+
-          Continuous recording;
  
5.      Fully Assembled X2
+
-          Event type detection;
  
:a.      One of the accelerometer is triggering the events and the other one is tested by the Firmware - is used only to collect data.
+
-         GPS tracking - 3G module integration;
  
:b.      For the accessory ports we will build a small test board that is connected on “Main board initial programming/Testing stage 1” and the Firmware will take care of the tests.
