You decide exactly when a driving behaviour is serious enough to log. The AI driving assistance page lets you set the minimum speed and, for some behaviours, the minimum duration a behaviour must last before an in-cab alert or a video event triggers.
Note
These settings only control when an alert triggers. To choose which behaviours trigger videos or alerts, see how to turn on Managing driver behaviour with videos or Managing in-cab alerts.
Before you begin
- You need Video: AI Dashcam Settings permission or admin access. If you cannot see the Video: AI Dashcam Settings icon on your Video page, contact your administrator.
- Your fleet needs at least one camera AI Dashcam.
- The trigger's Video Event or In-Cab Alert must be turned On before you can change their settings.
caution
Your company may be legally obligated to let drivers know what data is captured about them before you turn on driver-facing detection behaviours.
How detection settings work
Every trigger on the AI driving assistance page has a PARAMETER SETTINGS column. If both Video Event and In-Cab Alert are Off for a trigger, you cannot change its settings until you turn at least one back On.
You can change two types of settings:
- Speed threshold or offset: The trigger only fires when the vehicle hits a speed condition you choose. Set a higher speed to capture fewer but higher-severity events. Set a lower speed to capture more events.
- Time to trigger: The trigger only logs an event when the behaviour lasts for at least the time duration you set. When a trigger has both speed and time settings available, both conditions must be met before the trigger fires.
Each dropdown shows a Suggested threshold. This is the normal default setting for that trigger, and you can always switch back to it.
After you click SAVE, changes are applied to each AI Dashcam as soon as it goes online. The Last update field at the bottom of the page shows the exact date and time of your last save.
Setting a minimum speed
Minimum speed settings work for all road-facing (ADAS) and driver-facing (DMS) triggers.
There are two speed setting types:
| Type | How it works | Triggers that use it |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum speed | The trigger only fires when the vehicle travels at or above the speed you set. | All triggers except Posted speed sign |
| Speed offset | The trigger only fires when the vehicle goes over the posted speed limit by the amount you set. | Posted speed sign |
To set a minimum speed:
- In Reveal, go to Video or Admin.
-
In Video, click the AI Dashcam Settings icon.
Or in Admin, click the Cameras > AI Driving Assistance link.
- Find the trigger you want to change.
- In the PARAMETER SETTINGS column, select a speed value from the dropdown.
- Click SAVE.
Minimum speed choices by trigger
Road-facing triggers (ADAS)
| Trigger | Available minimum speeds (MPH) | Suggested setting |
|---|---|---|
| Tailgating | 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 | 25 MPH |
| Pedestrian collision warning ¹ | 6 / 10 / 15 / 20 | 6 MPH |
| Solid line crossing | 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 | 25 MPH |
| Rolling stop ¹ | 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 | 8 MPH |
| Posted speed sign | 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (over the speed limit) | +10 MPH |
¹ These triggers have a locked maximum speed of 30 MPH. They will not fire above this speed, and you cannot change this upper limit. Click the trigger name on the page to read the full behaviour details.
Driver-facing triggers (DMS)
| Trigger | Available minimum speeds (MPH) | Suggested setting |
|---|---|---|
| Phone call detection | 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 | 25 MPH |
| Distraction | 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 | 25 MPH |
| Tiredness | 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 | 25 MPH |
| Smoking | 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 | 25 MPH |
| Seat belt unfastened | 6 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 | 6 MPH |
| Driver camera covered | 0 / 10 / 15 / 20 | 0 MPH (active at any speed) |
caution
Raising a minimum speed means your fleet will not log events for that behaviour at slower speeds. If you plan to set a minimum speed higher than the suggested default speed, check your safety guidelines first.
Setting a Time-to-trigger
Your choice for Time-to-trigger will set how long a behaviour must last before the system logs a video event. The system ignores quick, accidental triggers that are shorter than the time you set. You can use this setting for tailgating and four driver-facing behaviours.
To set a Time-to-trigger:
- In Reveal, go to Video or Admin.
-
In Video, click the AI Dashcam Settings icon.
Or in Admin, click the Cameras > AI Driving Assistance link.
- Find the trigger you want to change.
- From the PARAMETER SETTINGS column dropdown list, select a time duration.
- Click SAVE.
Time-to-trigger choices
| Trigger | Available options (sec) | Suggested setting |
|---|---|---|
| Tailgating | 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 | 5 sec |
| Phone call detection | 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 10 | 5 sec |
| Distraction | 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 10 | 2 sec |
| Tiredness | 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 10 | 3 sec |
| Smoking | 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 10 | 2 sec |
caution
If you select a longer Time-to-trigger duration for behaviours like Distraction or Tiredness, the camera might miss brief but real safety issues. Start with the suggested default times and adjust later based on your coaching data.
Note
Other triggers do not have a time-to-trigger option. Only the behaviours listed above support this setting.
