SafetyCam Positioning and Angle Adjustments

Adjusting the SafetyCam Viewing Angles:

The viewing angles of the SafetyCam can be adjusted using the Live Streaming feature available on the Azuga Fleet Mobile (AFM) app or the Fleet Web platform.

This enables precise fine-tuning of the SafetyCam position in real time, ensuring optimal coverage. Adjustments can be made effortlessly for improved visibility and monitoring.

For a simpler and more flexible experience, it is strongly recommended to use the Azuga Fleet Mobile (AFM) app for this process.

Prerequisites:

Ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground and in an area with good network connectivity.
Verify that the SafetyCam is properly associated with the vehicle.
Only SafetyCam associated with a vehicle will have their data available on the Azuga platforms (both mobile and web) and be accessible for Live Streaming to adjust the viewing angles.

To learn how to associate, refer to the link: SafetyCam - Vehicle Association

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 SafetyCam 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 lens must be positioned to ensure that the entire road ahead is clearly visible within the frame, without obstruction from any part of the vehicle or SafetyCam setup.
The red line shown in the images serves as a focus guide. The SafetyCam should be adjusted so that the road is properly aligned within this frame—neither too high nor too low.
The SafetyCam must be directed at the road, not the sky, to ensure accurate footage capture.

Warning: Improper alignment of the SafetyCam can prevent road-facing events from being triggered effectively.

Driver - Facing View:

The in-cab lens should be adjusted to clearly capture at least half of the driver’s body, including the head and shoulders, within the frame.
The road-facing view should always take precedence over the driver-facing view to prioritize road visibility and event detection accuracy. Adjust both lenses accordingly to maintain this balance.

Warning: Improper alignment of the SafetyCam can prevent driver monitoring events from being triggered effectively.

Steps to Adjust the Viewing Angles:

There are two ways to adjust the viewing angles:

Via the Azuga Fleet Mobile App (recommended)
Via the Azuga Fleet Web platform

Via Azuga Fleet Mobile (AFM) App (recommended)

Log in to the Azuga Fleet Mobile (AFM) app and enter your credentials.
From the Dashboard/app’s home screen, navigate to SafetyCam >> Live Stream.

Click the Select Vehicle button to display a list of vehicles along with their SafetyCam status:
- Online: The SafetyCam is online and ready for live streaming.
- Standby: The SafetyCam is in an area with good network connectivity but is currently in sleep mode.
- Offline: The SafetyCam is disconnected.
- No Status: The SafetyCam has not reported any data. This could be due to installation failure, poor network connectivity, power loss, or no prior connection history. To enable live streaming, the SafetyCam must be brought back online.

Note: Vehicles with an Offline status cannot be live-streamed. Move the vehicle to an area with better network connectivity until the status changes to Online or Standby.

Select a vehicle with an Online or Standby status to start the Live Stream.

Use the Rear View and Driver Facing buttons to switch views and adjust the angles:
- For the Driver Facing view, ensure that at least half of the driver’s body is clearly visible.
- For the Rear view, ensure a clear view of the road and that the camera’s angle is parallel to the ground.
If Auxiliary Cameras are connected, additional buttons such as Aux 1, Aux 2, etc., will appear. Click these buttons and adjust their views as needed.
