The
2 Megapixel Camera for the RTCU MX2i
pro
and
RTCU DX4 pro is extending
the functionality of the powerful
RTCU platform with the capability to take
high-resolution colour pictures in standard
JPEG format. The pictures taken can be transmitted over
the network to
a server and/or saved to an SD-CARD file.
The
2 Megapixel Camera
supports implementation of applications
such as:
-
Remote monitoring of equipment,
devices, work areas and locations.
- Vehicle, including
driver/passenger, monitoring.
- Security applications.
- Any event-trigger applications.
- Stealth security applications.
- ....many other applications
where "a picture is worth a thousand words"...
The camera

Logic IO Navigation and Messaging Platform
(NMP) is a powerful and open platform for
implementation of state-of the-art advanced fleet
management applications integrating navigation, messaging,
driver identification and job dispatch capabilities.
The NMP
platform works on almost any Microsoft Windows CE 5.0
based device and is based on the market leading
Sygic navigation engine
tightly integrated into the powerful RTCU concept.
The Logic IO Navigation and Messaging Platform
(NMP) is fully backward compatible with already developed RTCU
applications utilizing the Garmin FMI
interface, but extends the functionality to a new level of power
and flexibility. A number of user defined on-screen buttons and
dialogs can be
defined and controlled in almost any way and additionally the
Mobile Data Terminal (MDT-200) API is fully
supported, thus opening up for a new level of customized user
interaction.

.jpg) To connect
the RTCU unit to the NMP device, a special
interface box/cable is required. It is also possible to connect the NMP device to the RTCU IDE Simulator,
thus allowing
rapid development of
complete fleet management and messaging applications within the RTCU IDE
environment.
For detailed information
about the NMP interface please
consult the RTCU IDE on-line help or
manual.
For a complete solution with a professional ruggedized
navigation device with interface cables, etc. and the NMP
software
preinstalled ready to use, please see the powerful
PNM-200 product series.
The illustration below shows the system architecture with the
various components constituting a complete Fleet Management
solution:
