Overview

IntelliShift allows you to configure and update your AI Dash Cam Camera settings. Each fleet is unique, and we understand you may need to tailor the technology to your specific needs and driving conditions (urban vs rural, highway vs. country roads, etc.). In this article, we will explore how to update your camera configurations.

Camera Configuration Overview

Your Camera Configuration dashboard offers many options to configure your AI Dash Cam Settings.

• View the date and time your configurations were last updated and the individual who updated the settings. (1)
• Update your General Settings (2)
  • In-Cab Coaching: Allows real-time, audible operator coaching during a safety event
    • Following Distance Warning: Audibly warns the driver when the following distance warning threshold is met or exceeded. (See Road Facing Settings below.)
    • Forward Collision Warning: Audibly warns the driver when the forward collision warning threshold is met or exceeded. (See Road Facing Settings below.)
    • Phone Utilization: Audibly warns the driver when a phone utilization threshold is met or exceeded. (See Operator Facing Settings below.) (Please note, texting/scrolling is classified as Inattentive Driving.)
    • Inattentive Driving: Audibly warns the driver when the inattentive driving threshold is met or exceeded. (See Operator Facing Settings below.)
    • Potential Collision Detected: Audibly warns the driver when a potential collision was detected.
    • Speaker Volume: Adjust the audible voice volume for in-cab coaching.
  • Manual Event Capture Button: Allows for automatic upload for events that were manually triggered by drivers. Drivers can press the button on the front of the AI Dash Cam to capture a 10 second clip (5 seconds before button press and 5 seconds after).
  • In Cab Audio Recording: Allows recording of in-cab audio.
  • Recording Time after Ignition Off: Allows you to adjust the amount of time the camera continues recording after the ignition is turned off.
• Update your Road Facing Settings (3)
  • Following Distance Warning: A safety event will trigger and automatically upload for your review when the following distance warning threshold is met or exceeded. (See "Sensitivity" below.)
    • Sensitivity:
      • Low Sensitivity Following Distance Warning: Event will trigger with a reaction time of 1.0 seconds.
      • Medium Sensitivity Following Distance Warning (Default): Event will trigger with a reaction time of 1.1 seconds.

    • Duration:
      • 10 Seconds: Following Distance warning will trigger when following closer than the defined sensitivity for 10+ seconds.
      • 7 Seconds (Default): Following distance warning will trigger when following closer than the defined sensitivity for 7+ seconds.
      • 5 Seconds: Following distance warning will trigger when following closer than the defined sensitivity for 5+ seconds.
    • Speed Threshold:
      • Defines what speed must be reached or exceeded in order to trigger an event.
  • Forward Collision Warning: A safety event will trigger and automatically upload for your review when the forward collision threshold is met or exceeded. (See "Sensitivity" below.)
    • Sensitivity
      • Low Sensitivity Forward Collision Warning: Event will trigger upon a reaction time of 0.3 seconds with a duration of 500 milliseconds.
      • Medium Sensitivity Forward Collision Warning (Default): Event will trigger upon a reaction time 0.7 seconds with a duration of 500 milliseconds.
      • High Sensitivity Forward Collision Warning: Event will trigger upon a reaction time of 0.9 seconds with a duration of 500 milliseconds.
    • Speed Threshold: 
      • Defines what speed must be reached or exceeded in order to trigger an event.
  • Potential Collision Detected:
    • Sensitivity: 
      • Low Potential Collision Detected (Default): Potential Collision will trigger when a vehicle experiences a G-Force greater than 2.0G.
      • Medium Potential Collision Detected: Potential Collision will trigger when a vehicle experiences a G-Force greater than 1.5G.
      • High Potential Collision Detected: Potential Collision will trigger when a vehicle experiences a G-Force greater than 1.0G.
  • Lane Departure Warning:

    • Sensitivity:

      • Low Lane Departure Warning (Default): The vehicle is significantly close to or over the lane marking. Less than 1 inch away, for 6+ seconds

      • Medium Lane Departure Warning: The vehicle is moderately close to or over the lane marking. Less than 3 inches Away, for 6+ seconds

      • High Lane Departure Warning: The vehicle is slightly close to the lane marking. Less than 4 inches away, for 6+ seconds.

    • Speed Threshold:
      • Defines what speed must be reached or exceeded in order to trigger an event. Default Lane Departure warning set to 50mph.
• Update your Operator Facing Settings (4)
  • Phone Utilization: A safety event will trigger and automatically upload for your review when the phone utilization threshold is met or exceeded. (See "Sensitivity" below.)
  • Inattentive Driving: A safety event will trigger and automatically upload for your review when the inattentive driving threshold is met or exceeded. (See "Sensitivity" below.)
  • Sensitivity
    • Low
      • Low Sensitivity Phone Utilization: The operator is using a phone for greater than 7 seconds.

Camera Configuration FAQ

It seems like the definition of low sensitivity and high sensitivity should be switched. Can you explain?

We define "high sensitivity" as an event that can be easily triggered. The device is being "highly sensitive" to stimulus (speed, distance, movement, G-force, etc.) and trigger a higher frequency of events.

A "low sensitivity" setting will be harder to trigger. In other words, an even triggered on the "low sensitivity" setting will correlate with a higher risk event.

For example, regarding forward collision warning, it is much harder to be in the distance/speed where the reaction time is .3 seconds compared to .9 seconds. Thus low sensitivity is .3 seconds for FCW and high sensitivity is defined as the reaction time of .9 seconds.

Who can change the camera configurations for our fleet?

Only Account Admins with "All" AI Dash Cam permissions can change the camera configurations for your fleet.

Can I have different camera configurations per asset or branch?

You cannot change camera configurations by asset or branch through your Camera Configuration dashboard. Please reach out to our support team for further instructions.

Can I find out who changed the camera configurations?

Yes. At the top of the Camera Configuration dashboard, you can view the last update (time/date) and who last updated the settings.

How quickly will Camera Configuration changes take effect?

The camera configuration settings will sync every 15 minutes. The camera must be on to receive the sync.

What defines "reaction time"?

Reaction time is based on current vehicle speed, class of vehicle, and distance to the vehicle in front.
