Quick answers

Stock Traccar port?

TCP 5232.

Media formats?

jpg stills or h265 video via writeMediaFile.

File name tokens?

%photof/%photor and %videof/%videor.

Dualcam on Traccar TCP 5232 is a camera-oriented binary protocol (DualcamFrameDecoder + DualcamProtocolDecoder). Message types include MSG_INIT 0, MSG_START/RESUME/SYNC/DATA/COMPLETE, MSG_FILE_REQUEST 8, MSG_INIT_REQUEST 9, and path request/response 0x000C/0x000D. Settings bits choose %photof/%photor stills or %videof/%videor clips; completed media attaches as jpg or h265 via writeMediaFile, then often re-issues MSG_INIT_REQUEST.

Camera naming, media state machine

Not DSF22’s batched GNSS on 5236 — Dualcam’s identity is front/rear photo-video transfer on 5232.

Catalogue stance

Stock Traccar reference. Traxelio still lists positions_only for catalogue/BYOD identity (media plumbing ≠ Traxelio operator feature claim).

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Confirm Dualcam media firmware

    GNSS-only DSF22 units belong on 5236, not this media state machine.

  2. 2

    Aim at TCP 5232

    Host + 5232; ensure bandwidth for photo/video chunks.

  3. 3

    Complete INIT → DATA → COMPLETE

    Partial DATA without COMPLETE never finalizes jpg/h265.

  4. 4

    Honor FILE_REQUEST / PATH_REQUEST

    Settings bits 25–29 drive which %photo/%video path the server must request.

  5. 5

    Keep product claims sober

    Open decoder media helpers ≠ Traxelio dashcam product promise.

Common troubleshooting

Positions without media

Decoder often uses getLastLocation when media completes — GNSS may live on another protocol/port.

Stuck after INIT

Check settings-bit file/path requests; wrong %photof vs %videof stalls DATA.

Packets >8192 mishandled

isPacketData() treats size <8192 as packet mode — large clips need the stream path.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why ‘dualcam’ if Traxelio is positions_only?

Slug mirrors Traccar’s camera-oriented protocol name; catalogue tier stays positions_only.

UDP?

Stock Dualcam server is TCP only.

Related to Dolphin?

No. Dolphin 5219 is protobuf DataPack, not photo/video transfer.
