Activate Anti-Collision Functions

Step 1

Activation Condition
In order to activate the collision avoidance functions successfully, please park your car on the horizontal ground (do not parking on ramps or sloping roads).

Step 2

Authorize Connection

1. While the device is on, add your MINIEYE AI Collision Avoidance Device in the APP “Device” page — click the “+” button.
2. In the Wi-Fi list, select the Wi-Fi with the name like “MINEYE-De-vice ID” to connect, and the default password is 1234567890 (Device ID can be viewed at the bottom of the package). If your Android phone pops up a prompt box asking whether to continue using the wireless network, please select Continue.
3. When the connection is done, the device will ask for user authorization to ensure APP-to-Device communication security. Click the button on the top of the monitor or enter the voice verification code.

Step 3

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 axis 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. You need to keep the vehicle speed of more than 25km/h on a horizontal road with clear lane lines on both sides, and drive for 1-3 minutes without changing lanes. Then wait for its accurate adjustment to be completed in the following normal driving. While the accurate adjustment is completed, the prompt at the bottom right of the monitor (3D road viewing) will disappear.

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.

3D road viewing

After the anti-collision functions work effectively, the monitor will display the road perception results analyzed by MINIEYE professional AI algorithm and display dangerous collision warnings.

Note

1. Safe distance index ：This number is a time factor (seconds) obtained by calculating the absolute distance between the front car and the current speed of this car, the lower the number, the higher the risk of collision.
2. Monitor display : With the upgrade of AI algorithm functions, the display contents will be upgraded from time to time. Please refer to the actual product.

Real-time road viewing
While the device is on, you can double-click the button on the top of the monitor to switch the 3D road viewing to a real-time viewing. At the same time, you can check the status of sound recording, mobile phone connection, memory card and GPS signal on the top bar.
