Adjustment Mode is a feature in Smarter AI dashcams that allows installers to quickly and accurately mount and align both cabin and road-facing cameras. By using AI-driven real-time feedback, it streams live video to a mobile device, guiding installers through the process to ensure proper camera positioning and alignment.

Adjustment Mode is essential for ensuring cameras are properly aligned, which is critical for accurate data collection in ADAS and DMS systems. Misaligned cameras can lead to false positives or missed events, which can undermine system performance. Adjustment Mode eliminates guesswork, providing installers with real-time AI-driven feedback.

• Third-party installers who may not be familiar with specific fleets or vehicles can benefit from Adjustment Mode, as it provides real-time guidance to ensure correct installation.

• In-house installers and fleet operators can use Adjustment Mode to efficiently manage large-scale dashcam installations, ensuring consistency across vehicles.

• Self-installers can rely on Adjustment Mode for accurate camera setup, even without technical expertise, using AI feedback to guide the process.

• Initial Installation: It’s crucial during the initial setup to ensure proper alignment, especially in fleets where reinstallation or maintenance is challenging or costly.

• Camera Remounting: Whenever a camera is repositioned due to vehicle maintenance or changes in mounting location, Adjustment Mode should be used to readjust the camera.

• Post-Incident: After incidents like collisions, cameras may be misaligned. Adjustment Mode helps realign them to maintain reliable video capture.

• Fleet Inspections: During routine fleet inspections, Adjustment Mode ensures cameras are correctly positioned for optimal performance.

• On Camera Activation: Adjustment Mode can be automatically enabled when a dashcam is first activated, allowing installers to begin mounting and aligning the cameras immediately. The dashcam automaticaly switches to Drive mode 3 hours after initial onboarding of the dashcam.

• On-Demand Activation: It can also be activated on demand via the Smarter AI dashboard by a user with administrative privileges. This allows flexibility for adjustments during installation or remounting.

• Enter Adjustment Mode: Use the Smarter AI mobile app or dashcam interface to enter Adjustment Mode.

• Position the Camera: Ensure the camera is securely mounted for an optimal field of view.

• Adjust Camera Angles: Use the live video stream to align both the cabin and road-facing cameras.

• Verify Alignment: Confirm that the cameras have clear views of both the driver and the road.

• Finalize Calibration: Once you exit Adjustment Mode, the Smarter AI Dashcam will automatically self-calibrate for optimal performance.

Adjustment Mode allows installers to view live video streams only for the purpose of adjusting the cameras. During this process, events and other camera data remain inaccessible to comply with data protection and privacy regulations. The dashcam switches to Drive mode once the installer marks the adjustment as complete, or when the allotted time for adjustment mode has finished (Default 3 hours.) Once a dashcam is in drive mode, installers are restricted from connecting to or live streaming from the camera.

• Real-Time Feedback: Stream live video during installation for quick and precise alignment.

• Dual-Camera Support: Easily switch between cabin and road cameras for optimal positioning.

• Mobile Access: Use the Smarter AI mobile app to make seamless adjustments.

• Automatic Self-Calibration: After adjustments, the system automatically calibrates the cameras to accommodate different drivers, vehicles, and mounting positions.

• Outdoors: For road-facing camera alignment, it works best outdoors on a flat surface with an unobstructed view of the horizon to ensure clear road video.

• Driver’s Seat Access: For cabin camera adjustments, the vehicle should be positioned so that the installer or another person can sit in the driver’s seat for precise alignment.

Once adjustments are complete, the Smarter AI Dashcam automatically self-calibrates to ensure optimal performance, accommodating different drivers, vehicle types, and mounting positions without requiring manual recalibration.
