Camera-Generated AI Alerts

These events are triggered using either the camera’s accelerometer or audio detection capability. The following events will automatically generate a 20-second video clip, stored in the cloud and made available via your customer portal’s Videos rail. The videos associated with these events are stored for 60 days and will be available to download to your device during that time.

• Broken Glass (Loud sound of a particular frequency)
• Potential Impact
• Movement
• Voice-Activated Custom Videos (Sound)
  These are generated by saying “OK Presto”. Once “OK Presto” is said, the camera will pull footage from 10 seconds before the command and 10 seconds after to create a custom video clip. You can also say another phrase after OK Presto is initiated to name the video. The name of the video can be changed in the portal as well.

Two events trigger the camera to “wake up” from Guard Mode and capture video:

• Broken Glass Alert: If a loud noise at or above a certain frequency is detected, a Broken Glass Alert will be generated. The two LED lights on the front of the camera will illuminate the interior of the vehicle and a video will automatically be uploaded to your Videos library.
• Movement Alert: If Movement is detected in or around the vehicle, a video is captured and added to your Alerts. You can pair this alert with an on-camera video using “Check for On-Camera Video” in your Alerts rail.
