Document Device ID / Serial Number
Each Stonkam DV424 has a 10 digit unique Device ID (Serial Number) Located in System>Info
Write this down on the traveler.
- Device ID (AC uses this as the DVR Serial Number)
- Printed on the Label which goes on the DVR
Example: Device ID 1803090005 will be Serial Number 1803090005
Install Batteries in Remote Control
From the accessory kit. We will not be sending a remote control for each DVR. We will ship some quantity to a loction and only these need to have batteries installed.
Install and Format Hard Drive
Click on the Floppy Disk Icon on main menu
Wait for a format successful message. (this should take approximately 5 minutes for a 500GB hard drive)
Upgrade Firmware and Verify
Get current version from AC
Upgrade of the firmware reformats the HDD/SDD because of a file system change
After the 20180127 update this should not happen anymore
Install Config File for vehicle type (Handler or Crane)
Download contains 8 configuration files. 4 for Cranes files, 4 for Loader files, 4 of each type for US time zones(EST, CST, MST, PST)
[|Stonkam BNSF D8 Config Files 050519]
Install SIM Card Installation
Document the number on the Traveler
Keep the plastic card and note the vehicle number on it.
Set device/vehicle specific settings (tag device with vehicle number) (document on traveler)
- License No. (vehicle name)
- Device No. (EX: 1903010005)
- Time Zone – verify time correct for that zone
- Anything else specific to this one device?
Save Configuration to hard drive and keep a copy in the support folder
SSD
Export the configuration to the SSD
Thumb drive
Export the configuration to a Thumb drive.
Copy the config file to our system (Idrive Support> BNSF> Config_files> Location Name> vehicle_number_sv_xml.xml)
This way we have a record in case we need it.
Labels

click on Save Alert and you are done!
Alert Filters
Our server filters out spurious alerts to limit false notifications:
RO set up these filters and never communicated the final version(s) of what is going on
This alert is from a crane that has the splitters attached to it and they lose power when the power to the crane monitor system is shut off but the cameras connected directly to the DVR remain on. rule that filters out alerts that have camera 1,2,3,4 functioning with video but 5,6,7,8 with video loss. Since the DVR remains on it will continue to check in at the programmed interval so comparing the video loss to the last check in time will not filter them out.
"the second filter which filters the alarms coming at the same time for more than 2 cameras"
"Few days ago, he also applied the one that filters “not recording” alarms"
"We are creating now an algorithm to filter these camera disconnects (in the end probably we need a machine learning one … ), if more than 2 cameras are received in a row having the same time(+/- few seconds) – is hard to believe that 3 cameras can fail or someone can disconnect all 3 at the same time(this should cover all installation alternative). We will discard all “not recording” alerts in case the “currant” status (at connection) reports recording. Also all alerts older than the previous connection time will be discarded"
Assign (name) SIM In Podsystems (Chrysta activates)

Ensure you are using the latest FW version (Downloads section of A/C)
Eric's note: USB would not mount unless first formatted in the D8. Windows will see the D8 formatting as something it needs to "scan and fix". Do not "fix" this.
Copy the firmware to USB stick or SD card root directory.
Insert the USB Stick into the DVR.
Either:
- Reboot the DVR or
- Navigate to Menu -> Setup -> System -> Update> Hit OK
Wait for Update Success!
Verify that the update was successful by Menu -> Setup -> System -> Info
Compare the current version to the desired version.
Upgrade Notes
New FW dv424_upgrade_201801171957 received 1/16/18. Mark's notes:
Upgrading no longer deletes the configuration files. However you must remove the thumb drive after the update and before it reboots or else it will update again and again and...
Upgrading requires reformat of Hard drive and all data will be lost!!!
Updates after 20181017 will not format the HDD/SSD since the filesystem changes have already been made
Currently, the upgrade package is deleted from the USB stick after the upgrade process is finished. To prevent having to recopy the firmware to the USB stick rename the file.
Example of Firmware Name: “dv424_upgrade_201801171957”
Change Name to : “dv424_upgrade_never_rename”
Step 2：Copy the package to USB disk or SD card root directory, and insert it to DVR.
Step 3：Power off the DVR and reboot it, then it will auto upgrade. Or in the menu Menu -> System -> Update, click OK to confirm to upgrade. Both method can start the upgrade process.
Stonkam Notes:
The flash size of our DVR is 58M. it is normal for the upgrading package when is less than 58M. The actual size of the upgrading package depends on how much it will be upgraded.
The DVR will start upgrading only after the success calibration of the package files. if the calibration fail, DVR can not upgrade.
There is a debug interface on DVR, so even something wrong with firmware, can recover DVR through the debug interface, so it will not be a brick.

Cellular connectivity notes
DVR cellular status messages
“modem signal drops, errors and does not reconnect” means signal is poor or no signal. so please double check if the sim card is well plug and with antenna and data there.
Engineer said there is an procedure when connect with cellular :
KO ERR -> OPEN ERR ->SIM/CPIN ERR -> CSQ ERR > CREG ERR> APN ERR ->DAILING ERR -> GET IP ERRor -> Success.
If there is any error, the status will go back to KO ERR, so could you take a picture of the last status where DVR goes back to KO error, then will be able to know the last failure spot.
LAN connection to D8
Set D8 IP address
configure a static IP (192.168.0.250 is set in our config file)
If IP not set by config file then: Open dvr display interface, revise the info in LAN interface (IP, Mask, Gateway, MAC) click OK to exit
Set computer to correct network segment (192.168.0.10)
1、connect DVR with network: dvr and computer in the same router or directly connect DVR to the computer. Computer and dvr should be in the same network segment.
2、Run cmd, see if you can ping the IP just set in DVR
If it works, You can continue to enter the command：
Telnet in DVR
Turn on Telnet Client in Windows 10 : Control Panel> Programs> turn windows features on or off
telnet 192.168.0.250 or //192.168.0.250 (IP just set in DVR)
(none) login: root
Password: sharpvision
Change UID
Only used if a serial number was duplicated. If you mess with it otherwise the warranty tracking will be messed up with Stonkam.
//After logging in, enter the following command：
echo xxxxxxxxxx > /etc/DeviceUid
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (new uid)
Power off and reboot // reboot is necessary
3, check whether the UID number modified successfully.
