Overview

VisionTrack’s VT3000-AI is a cost-effective mobile video surveillance device specially designed for remote video and driver safety monitoring for every vehicle type. The soultion has three components: VT3000-AI (ADAS Camera),
VT-DSM-AI camera and the VT-C26-IPC, which integrates multiple modules, such as 4G, Wi-Fi and G-sensor.

System Installation Overview

System Install
Mount the VT3000-AI on the windscreen Power Supply, Ignition & IO SignalSpeed Signal & Serial Ports

The vehicle speed can be read from the pulse signal from the vehicle, a CAN port or GPS, for detailed settings see section 4.

Install SIM & SD Cards

Standard size SIM card: Check the SD card’s write protection switch, which should be in the “on” position.

Install and Calibration

Depending on the model of the vehicle, select the most appropriate installation location (for install and maintenance).
GPS and 4G antenna are pointed towards the sky. Remove the bracket from the rear to enable install, (slide top to remove).
Remove the cover and install the SD card and SIM card**.this may already be done for you

VT3000-AI Installation

IMPORTANT: Degrease and clean the windscreen before attaching.
The VT3000-AI should be mounted in the middle at the top of the window screen, ensuring the lens is within the swept area of the wipers. All cables should be going towards the roof. Maximum height should be no more than 4m high and always check the live image in easycheck before securing to the window . The VT3000-AI can also be fitted at the bottom of windscreen on HGVs.

*VT3000-AI Camera Calibration**

Assuming the VT3000-AI camera install height is AC= 3m, the ideal calibration reference point AB= 30m and we only have AE=5 m of level ground in front of the vehicle.

Thus, find the ED: ED = 2.5m
Then place a 2.5m high reference point in front of the lens that is 5m away.
(Please note the ED might change when the camera is installed higher)
Open the settings of the VT3000-AI, enter the ADAS camera install height (AC) in the “Algorithm” menu (Easycheck APP). Open the “ADAS” menu, set the Mode Type to “Calibration” then click save. Refer to the live view again, 3 horizontal line should show in the image for reference. Adjust the ADAS camera lens angle (remove the ADAS camera cover on the back) that will allow the 30m reference line up with the reference point DE as mentioned above. Finish the ADAS camera calibration by changing it to Normal mode then click ok.

DSM Camera Installation

Install the DSM in the location according to the system installation diagram (section 3). The bottom screws must be tightened and camera should mount right above the steering wheel on the dashboard in front of the driver.
Secure the camera AFTER finishing the calibration. The DSM camera should mount 70 – 120cm between the driver’s eyes.

DSM Camera FOV

The driver camera FOV should cover the facial area of the driver and the tops of the shoulders. Allow space to the left, right, up, down for more flexibility so that it is possible to catch the driver’s face when looking in different directions.
DSM Calibration

It is recommended to have the actual driver perform the calibration. If this is not possible, it is best to ask a person with a similar height for help.
Open the IPC settings of the DSM camera channel, e.g. Channel 5.
Keep the device name as “DSM” and select “Calibration”, set “Front” or “Side” depending on the installation location. Finish the driver camera calibration by changing it back to “Normal mode” then secure on the dashboard.

Install the VT-C26-IPC Cab Camera (if applicable)

Install the IPC camera inside the driver’s cab, FOV example shows in figure below:

Speed Signal

There are two ways to acquire the vehicle speed signal that may be used for the VT3000-AI.

Speed Pulse

Speed pulse is more accurate than GPS speed as it has direct access to the vehicle, also it may take time to find the speed pulse signal from the vehicle for wiring and calibration.
Find the “Pulse” in the “Speed” menu. Satellite
GPS speed may have latency that may affect the accuracy of the alarms, but it is acceptable for most applications. Find the “Satellite” in the “Speed” menu .

Commissioning

When the cameras are positioned and supplied with power, wait until the green LED is steady and press the panic button. You can now use the commissioning app to commission the cameras. To find out more about our commissioning app, please download here: engineering.visiontrack.com. You can also contact the VisionTrack technical support on 01246 225 858 to commission the cameras. You will have to give them the Kit number on the box as well as the make, model, colour and registration of the vehicle, an ID number and site information.

It is important to leave the vehicle ignition ON during the commissioning. The commissioning team will inform you of any potential faults and make you change the angle of the cameras if they are not correctly adjusted.
The VisionTrack technical support team is available between 9am – 5pm Monday through to Friday and 9am – 5pm on a Saturday.
You will be given a Camera Commissioning Number by the Commissioning Team. It is very important that the commissioning number is recorded on your Job sheet/ticket.
