1.3 – SmartyCam optional items: cables, external microphone and
external GPS
SmartyCam optional tools can be connected to it using the 4 pins and the 7 pins female
connectors placed on the camera rear and shown here below.
SmartyCam comes with dedicated cables that guarantee its proper working.
• The standalone kit comes with battery charge and power cable code V02566150.
• The slave kit comes with 2m, 4m battery charge and CAN connection cable.
An additional external microphone can be useful to improve the movie sound quality,
mainly in case of installation in the vehicle cockpit.
• Power cable with CAN and microphone (code V02566100 with 2m cable,
V02566240 with 4m cable): this cable allows SmartyCam to connect to an external
12V power source to enable an external microphone, automatically mixed with the
internal microphone and to connect via CAN to an AIM logger or an ECU Bridge.
Refer to
www.smartycam.com , “Connections” area for further information.
• External microphone (code X90MESMC00): additional microphone automatically
mixed with the internal one by the on board camera. It plugs directly in the 7 pins
connector placed on the camera rear. Refer to
www.smartycam.com , “Accessories”
area for further information.
An external GPS module increases the quality of the satellite signal reception. It connects
to SmartyCam through the 4 pins female connector placed on the right of the product rear.
It is recommended to unplug it when SmartyCam is off.
• External GPS module (code X90GPS5B200 with 2m cable and X90GPS5B400 with
4m cable): in some situations improves the satellite signal reception.
1.3.1 – External GPS module working mode
The external GPS module, like the integrated GPS, can store a track database. When it
connects to SmartyCam tracks stored in the camera GPS will be overwritten in the
module database. Should the external GPS be used on more SmartyCam it is strongly
recommended to save on the PC through SmartyManager tracks contained in its
database before connecting it to another camera.
SmartyCam external GPS takes priority to the camera integrated GPS.
