When configuring DMS and ADAS in your camera settings, there are several options you can adjust. In this article, we’ll walk you through each DMS and ADAS setting and explain what it does, so you can better understand how to configure them for your needs.
🔔 The availability of the configuration options will depend on the camera device's brand and model.
Sensitivity
The Low, Medium, and High sensitivity levels control how easily an event is triggered.
Low: Triggers fewer events. Best if you only want alerts for clear or serious situations.
Medium: A balanced option for everyday use, with a good mix of accuracy and coverage.
High: Triggers events more easily, detecting smaller or earlier risks, but may create more alerts.
Event upload format
The Event upload format setting controls what type of file is uploaded when an event is triggered.
Video: Uploads a video clip of the event, giving you more context around what happened.
Picture: Uploads a single image from the event, using less data and storage.
Picture & Video: Uploads both an image and a video clip for the event, providing the most detail.
None: The event still appears in the Camera Events list, but no media is shown. In the player, the DMS channel will display a generic placeholder image instead of a video or picture. Learn more here.
In-cabin audio alerts
The In-cabin audio alerts setting controls whether drivers hear audio alerts inside the vehicle when an event is detected.
Voice: Plays a spoken alert inside the vehicle.
(You can choose the language with the "Text To Speech Language" setting, in the "Camera settings" tab.)
None: No audio alert is played inside the vehicle.
Trigger speed (km/h)
The Trigger speed (km/h) setting defines the minimum vehicle speed required for events to be detected. This means DMS and ADAS events will only trigger when the vehicle is driving at or above the selected speed (for example, 30, 50, 70, or 90 km/h), helping avoid alerts when the vehicle is moving slowly or is stopped.
Pre-event duration
The Pre-event duration (sec) setting defines how many seconds are captured before an event is triggered. Depending on the selected value (in seconds), this helps provide more context leading up to the event so you can better understand what happened.
Post-event duration
The Post-event duration (sec) setting defines how many seconds are captured after an event is triggered. Depending on the selected value (5, 10, or 15 seconds), this helps you see what happens immediately after the event for better context.
