Product Information

AI Collision Avoidance Device

The AI Collision Avoidance Device is a dash camera that uses computer vision and deep-learning technology to identify and warn drivers of potential collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, and lane lines. It is designed to increase driver awareness and promote safer driving habits.

Safety Notice

Before using the AI Collision Avoidance Dash Camera, please read the following safety notice carefully and take appropriate safety precautions:

  • External matters such as stains, oil stains, water stains, dust, and fingerprints on the surfaces of the car windshield and camera may cause some anti-collision functions to fail. Keep both the windshield and camera surface clean and dry to ensure clear vision of the camera.
  • Do not touch or play with the camera at will.
  • Self-luminous, strongly-reflective, or high-brightness objects placed on the top of the dashboard may reflect images on the windshield, interfere with camera vision, and cause some anti-collision functions to fail.
  • Some bad weather conditions, such as rain, snow, fog, haze, dust, typhoon, tornado, extreme cold and hot, may cause some anti-collision functions to fail.
  • Some bad lighting conditions, such as backlighting, tunnels, culverts, forests, and scenes with insufficient lighting, and scenes with strong light such as high beam, spotlight, laser, flame, explosion, etc., may cause some anti-collision functions to fail.
  • Some poor road conditions may affect the intelligent adjustment and lane departure warning device of the MINIEYE intelligent multi-function warning device.
  • Some special types of vehicles may not be accurately identified by MINIEYE Intelligent Multi-Function Warning Device.
  • Some people with special postures or special shaped clothes may not be accurately identified by MINIEYE Intelligent Multi-Function Warning Device.

Safety Notice

Before using AI Collision Avoidance Dash Camera,please read the following safety notice carefully and take appropriate safety precautions.
When you install the AI Collision Avoidance Dash Camera on the car, it means that you are aware of the following conditions and agree to use this product in accordance with the instructions.

  1. AI Collision Avoidance Dash Camera is an advanced driving ass istance system (ADAS) that can provide warnings to drivers in some potentially dangerous situations, but it is not an automatic driving system and cannot replace drivers to control cars under any circumstances. Drivers must always be awake and cautious, strictly abide by traffic rules and regulations, and ensure driving safety by themselves. Even when watching the monitor display or pressing the monitor button, all attention should be paid to driving.
  2. AI Collision Avoidance Dash Camera uses the world’s leading computer vision and deep-learning technology, but we can not guarantee the complete and accurate identification of all vehicles, pedestrians, lane lines or other traffic elements, nor can we guarantee to provide complete and accurate visual or sound warning.
  3. External matters (e. g. stains, oil stains, water stains, dust, fingerprints, etc.) on the surfaces of car windshield and camera may cause some anti-collision functions failure. Please keep both the windshield and camera surface clean and dry to ensure clear vision of the camera. Do not touch or play with the camera at will.
  4. Self-luminous/strongly-reflective/high-brightness objects (e. g. white paper, plastic bags, metal/ceramic/glass products, etc.) placed on the top of the dashboard may reflect images on the windshield, interfere with camera vision and cause some anti-collision functions failure.
  5. Some bad weather may cause some anti-collision functions failure, including but not limited to: rain, snow, fog, haze, dust, typhoon, tornado, extreme cold and hot.
  6. Some bad lighting conditions may cause some anti-collision functions failure, including but not limited to: backlighting, tunnels, culverts, forests and other scenes with insufficient lighting, and scenes with strong light such as high beam, spotlight, laser, flame, explosion, etc.
  7. Some poor road conditions may affect the intelligent adjustment and lane departure warning device of the MINIEYE intelligent multi-function warning device, including but not limited to: lane markings that do not meet the standards, severely worn lane markings, and soil/snow/ lane signs covered by foreign objects such as stagnant water.
  8. Some special types of vehicles may not be accurately identified by MINIEYE Intelligent Multi-Function Warning Device, including but not limited to: military vehicles, ancient vehicl es, exotic vehicles, exotic painting vehicles, special engineering vehicles, trailers loaded with special shaped items, and passing vehicles.
  9. Some people with special postures or special shaped clothes may not be accurately identified by MINIEYE Intelligent Multi-Function Warning Device, including but not limited to: people wearing low-visibility clothing such as camouflage uniform, people in special postures such as squatting/kneeling/lying down, people performing sports movements such as dance/martial arts/gymnastics/yoga, and people riding horse or taking special transportation such as carriage.
  10. The sudden appearance of unknown objects in the field of vision may cause some anti-collision functions failure for a short time, including but not limited to balloons, drones, flying toys, balls and sporting goods, high-altitude parabolic and floating garbage.
  11. By upgrading the version of AI anti-collision a lgorithm, the functional failure rate of the above special scenes will continue to decrease. Please refer to the actual experience.
  12. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

APP Settings

In order to connect to device Wi-Fi, please list the App in your trust application list and make sure the device’s Wi-Fi is on.

Pair smart phone to UTOUR ADAS Dash Cam

  1. After turning on the device. Launch UTOUR App, tap on the “device” page, then tap on “+” in the upper right corner
  2. Choose your UTOUR Dash Cam from the network list(For Android systems, App will start to search Dash Cam network automatically. For iOS phone: turn on WLAN from “Settings->WLAN”). The Dash Cam’s default Wi-Fi name is “UTOURDevice ID”(Device ID can be viewed at the bottom of the package ). Enter the password, the default password is 12345678.
  3. If your phone pops up a prompt box asking whether to continue using the wireless network, please select Continue.
  4. When the connection is done, the device will ask for user authorization to ensure APP-to-Device communication security
  5. In order to activate the collision avoidance functions successfully, please park your car on the horizontal ground (do not park on ramps or sloping roads).

APP Activation

  1. The width of different car models will affect the AI anti-collision algorithm’s prediction of all collision risks. Please select your car type (for more accurate model selection, please optimize through the “anti-collision setting”).
  2. The horizontal distance between the camera and the central ax is of the windshield determines the accuracy of AI anti-collision algorithm to construct ground models. Please use the scale line at the bottom of this manual for measurement.
  3. The APP provides a real-time image for adjustment preview. You can confirm it according to the relevant operation guidelines, and the anti-collision functions will be activated upon completion.
  4. After the anti-collision function is activated,it is required to complete more accurate adjustment calculation by collecting data on a specific road environment.Y ou need to keep the vehicle speed of more than 30km/h on a horizontal road with clear lane lines on both sides, and drive for 3-5 minutes without changing lanes. Then wait for its accurate adjustment to be completed in the following normal driving.

Important Note: If objects with strong reflection and whiter light (such as paper towels and decorations) are placed on the dashboard, they may cause interference to the algorithm in some driving scenes and affect your experience. Please be sure to avoid them.

Anti-Collision Functions Setting

Through “Device” Page – “Anti- Collision Settings”, you can enter to set various parameters of the anti-collision functions.

  • Forward Collision Warning
