Ensuring Accurate Seatbelt Detection (BETA)
To ensure the highest level of accuracy for seatbelt detection, here are some best practices to consider:
-
Vehicle Speed - Ensure your vehicle is moving above 5 mph / 8kph.
-
Camera Positioning - To ensure a clear view of the torso, position the in-cab facing camera at a distance equal to the height of the driver's face. This prevents the camera from focusing too much on the face or ceiling, keeping the torso fully visible and balanced with the face.
- Position the camera close to the driver. If it’s too far left or right, it might affect how well it detects the seatbelt.
- Factors That Can Affect Accuracy - Obstructions: Clothing items like ties, jackets, or even hair can block the view of the seatbelt.
-
Camera Cleanliness: Make sure the camera lens is clean and clear of any blurs.
-
Lighting Conditions: Bright sunlight or shadows can impact how well the seatbelt is detected.
-
Contrast Matters: If the seatbelt and the driver’s shirt are too similar in color, it might make detection harder.
-
Face Visibility: Ensure the driver’s face is fully visible.
By following these simple guidelines, you can help ensure the best performance from your FC Vision dashcam.
