Adjusting the SafetyCam Viewing Angles

The viewing angles of the SafetyCam can be adjusted using the Live Streaming feature available on the Azuga Fleet Web platform due to its ease of use and simplicity.

Following are the prerequisites and steps for adjusting the viewing angles using the Live Streaming feature: 

Prerequisites:

1. Ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground and in an area with good network connectivity. 

2. Verify that the SafetyCam is properly associated with the vehicle. Only the associated camera will be accessible for Live Streaming to adjust the camera’s viewing angles. 

   
   

   To learn how to perform the association, refer to: SafetyCam – Vehicle Association via Azuga Fleet Web Platform

Optimal Positioning for Road-Facing and Driver-Facing Views: 

• Both the road-facing and in-cab lenses can have their viewing angles adjusted for optimal alignment.
• Proper positioning is crucial to ensure clear visibility of the road and the driver, as well as accurate monitoring and reliable event triggering 
• To adjust the angle, start by loosening the camera locking screws. Ensure both the road-facing and in-cab views are aligned for optimal coverage.
• Once the desired angles are set, tighten the locking screws to securely fix the SafetyCam in place, ensuring stable positioning and reliable functionality. 

Road-Facing View: 

• The road-facing camera lens must be positioned to ensure that the road ahead is clearly visible within the frame and not obstructed by any part of the vehicle or the camera setup. 
• The red line shown in the images serves as a focus line, and the SafetyCam should be adjusted so that the road is properly aligned within this frame—neither too high nor too low. 

Driver-Facing View: 

• The in-cab camera lens should be adjusted to clearly capture the driver’s upper body, including the head and shoulders, within the frame.
