computer you can use this otherwise you will need a USB SD card reader.
2. Once done click the Initialize SD Card button in the bottom left hand corner of the
Configuration Tool.

for your SD card. Once selected press
the OK button

Format. You will also need to select Master SD Card. If you are using a second SD card in
slot 2 of your unit, you should not check the “Master SD” box (this will be covered later on in
this guide).
You can also select to copy the installation files for the Analysis software and Configuration
Tool to the SD if you wish.
Once done click the Start button to begin the format.
5. With Quick Format selected the process should only take a few seconds. Once complete you
will receive a message to say that the card has been Initialized.

1.4. Settings Configuration
Now that the SD card has been initialized you can then start applying the settings to configure your
unit.
You can use the following settings as a basic set up for your unit, however, it is advised that you read
through the full breakdown of each of these settings in the User Manual to get the most from your
unit.
Please use the images on the next few pages to copy these settings from, additional information will
also be provided below these images to further advise you.

1.4.1. Device Tab
If you are using a second camera with your KP1 unit you will need to check the “2nd Camera” box to
enable this camera, please confirm if this is a PAL or NTSC camera (if you are in North America or
South America you will most likely have an NTSC camera).
If you are planning to record in “Event” mode or “Dual” mode, you can adjust the sensitivity levels of
the G-Sensors to record event video and send alerts specific to your needs (e.g. sharp braking, quick
acceleration, hard turning, impacts, etc). The X, Y, & Z values are depicted by micro G’s. (e.g. X value
of 1000 = 1 G of force). X= Front to Rear; Y= Left to Right; Z= Up & Down. Once you have completed
this guide it is advisable to go on a test drive with the unit in your vehicle to ensure that the
sensitivity level is not set too high or low.

1.4.2. Record Tab
You can use the settings under the Record tab to alter how the unit records and at what quality.
Depending on the size of your SD card you may wish to use a slightly lower quality or frame rate to
increase the amount of footage you can fit onto your SD card. You can use the Resolution, FPS and
Quality settings to adjust this. Please see the User Manual for more information on these settings as
well as a recording time table to give you an idea of what recording times to expect from the
settings.
You have 3 options for the Recording Mode:
Continuous: Constant recording the whole time the unit is powered.

12
www.smartwitness.com/usa
Event: Only records when triggered, i.e. from a G-Sensor shock, Alarm, Overspeed or Panic
Button press.
Dual Mode: Constant recording at 1 FPS until an Event and then it will record at the full
frame rate. (when using 2 SD cards, SD card 1 will store continuous video at 1FPS. SD card 2
will store events at full frame rate)
1.4.3. Event Tab
If you have selected Event recording you can use this page to select what events will trigger the unit
to record. The checkboxes under Record CAM represents the camera channels; the left hand box
being the main camera built into the unit and the right hand box being the second camera. If you
have enabled the second camera you can set this to record on an event if you wish.
NOTE: If you are using INT-1-S or INT-2 power accessory options, the event tab will reflect the
additional input/output triggers which are enabled when using INT-1-S or INT-2.

(please contact SmartWitness or your supplier for compatible USB modems). If you are not doing
this you can proceed to page 17, section 1.5. Save Settings.

You will need to contact your network provider to get the correct Mobile Network information.
Please also see the Appendix for a list of common APN details.
If you wish to receive SMS text messages from the unit you will also need to set the SMS Center

appear. If you do not have or want Wireless connectivity, simple uncheck the “Enable” box and the
settings will device to SD card storage only.
1.4.6. Email Setup Tab
The Email Setup page is used to provide details of an email account for the KP1 to send emails from.

16
www.smartwitness.com/usa
If you are using multiple KP1 units with 3G or Wi-Fi USB modems, then the “Email Address” field
must be unique for each unit. If you have the same email account on every unit then you will be
unable to request data from the unit (e.g. sending email from PC to the KP1 email account to
request original video footage), however you will still be able to receive alerts from the unit.
You can use your own email server or a public email account such as Yahoo.
If you are using a public email account you will need to find the SMTP server details for it, you can
find these on the internet but also please see the Appendix for the most common details.
You can enter an Admin Password for the unit on this page too. This is mandatory for using the
Request feature to request information or send a new configuration file. Please see the main User
Manual for more information on this. You can enter your own password of any number between
100000 and 999999, alternatively, if you are not using this feature you can leave it blank.
Live GPS Tracking Server
When enabled, this feature sends live GPS tracking information to the specified URL. Please ask your
telematics/tracking provider if you would like to enable this feature. SmartWitness does not provide
web access to viewing your live location using this feature.

KP1

You can enter one of the users email address in the User Email text field. To add more emails you
can select a different User number from the Selected User drop down menu and then enter the new
email in the User Email text field again.

the country code (e.g. +1 for USA).

18
www.smartwitness.com/usa
If you wish to request video footage from the unit using the Request feature you will need to set a
user password. This can be any number between 1000 and 9999.
The User Permissions section controls what permissions the user has when using the Requests
feature. Please see the full User Manual for more information on this feature.
Finally, you can set what alerts you wish to receive from the unit from the Event Notify section. You
can use the checkboxes to set what type of alert you wish to receive from the unit and from what
event. “E-Mail Notification” will contain information such as a 10 second video clip from the road
facing camera, GPS location, Vehicle speed, and Vehicle ID. “E-Mail Alert” will be just a quick line of
text indicating what type of alert has been triggered (e.g. Excessive Speed). An SMS Alert will give
