Installer app guide for proper channel 2 alignment for DV6 to ensure best performance of DMS event detection.
What are DMS events?
DMS, or Driver Monitoring System, is a set of AI algorithms that use machine vision to detect and monitor the driver's behavior. The DV6 camera has a set of events that use DMS to monitor and report certain driver behavior, such as drowsiness or seat belt detection by using the channel 2 (driver facing) camera. It is important that the camera be aligned properly so that the driver's face and shoulders are clearly visible to the camera in order for DMS to function as intended.
Channel 2 Alignment Guide for Installer App
After the camera is created and receives the settings profile, the next steps are to adjust camera angles. You will see a page in the installer app similar to the following screenshot:
On this screen you will see the Channel 2 option. Tap View to open the live stream of channel 2 on the camera.
The instructions on the next screen will guide you on how to ensure the proper alignment of channel 2:
Notice there is a green box displayed on the screen. Use this box as reference to align the camera so that the driver's head and shoulders are within the box. To further help, toggling the Show Driver Silhouette button will display a reference silhouette of how the driver should be positioned within the box. The Face Position Status will display Good if the driver is positioned correctly.
After you are satisfied with the alignment, tap DONE to return to the channel select page.
After finishing the channel 2 alignment, you may proceed with the rest of the channels and complete the installation process.
You will see a green Viewed status next to all channels that have been viewed. All active channels must be viewed at least once before being allowed to proceed.
FAQ
I don't see a Channel 2 option in the channel alignment page
This most commonly occurs when the settings profile the camera received from RoscoLive has channel 2 disabled. Channel 2 must be enabled in order to view the live stream. If this is the case, continue the installation as normal and complete it. After completion, go to RoscoLive and push a new settings profile to the device that has channel 2 enabled. After the profile is pushed, you may return to the camera and use the Calibration feature of the installer app to reconnect to the camera and make adjustments to channel 2.
Face Position Status reads "Needs Adjustment" or "No Face Detected"
If the status reads "Needs Adjustment" then the driver's face is detected, but it isn't positioned correctly for the camera to properly detect DMS events. Adjust the camera until the driver's position is within the green box with their face towards the top half of the box. The status will change to "Good" when the position is correct.
If the status reads "No Face Detected" then the camera does not detect any face in front of the camera. Position a person in the driver's seat so that their face is within view of the camera for it to detect a face. Once a face is detected, if the status reads "Good" then no further adjustment is needed. If a person is positioned in front of the camera and the status still reads "No Face Detected", ensure the person in the driver's seat is not wearing any article of clothing or head wear that obscures the face or head of the person as this makes it difficult for the camera to discern a face.
The position of the driver makes it difficult / impossible to properly align the camera
It is important to position the camera in a way so that it has a clear view of the driver and the driver's face is aligned correctly so that DMS events can be properly detected. Relocate the camera to a position so that this is possible. If this is not feasible due to something preventing you from doing so, it is recommended you contact Rosco customer support for further guidance. It is also recommended to disable any DMS type events in the settings profile used for the camera to prevent false positives from occurring - then re-enable them once the camera can be positioned correctly.
