   Blind Spot Detection System(BSD)

BSD is a real-time monitoring system that monitors the blind spots of vehicles on the left and right sides of the road and indicates the risk of traffic accidents when merging. The system is designed to reduce the risk of traffic accidents. It is now also known as lane change assist (LCA).
The following is intended to guide the calibration of the smart driving application of the dash camera.
Before using the BSD function, it is essential to calibrate the camera’s installation position and viewing angle so that vehicles and lanes can be accurately detected.

Notes:

• BSD relies on the rear camera to obtain road conditions and vehicle driving information in blind spots.
• The BSD system is affected by light, lane lines, rain and fog, affecting its accuracy

BSD calibration

BSD Calibrate: Left camera, Right camera, Rear camera for optional.
Press the Up or Down button to select the direction to be adjusted, and the box icon in the center is the switch of the adjustment point, then press the OK button to adjust the alarm area.

Tips: The adjustment range of the calibration line is limited, if it is still not satisfied when the adjustment reaches the limit, please adjust the installation position of the camera or fine-tune the lens angle to align the rear side.

BSD setting

Single alarm sound: OFF, ON for optional. When a single view is displayed on full screen, an alarm will sound if the blind spot warning signal is detected.
Four alarm sound: OFF, ON for optional. In four split screen, an alarm will sound if the blind spot warning signal is detected.
Audible and visual alarm: OFF, ON for optional.
Sensitivity: Adjust according to your needs. The sensitivity refers to the sensitivity of the alarm area to trigger the alarm.
