AI SafetyCam Events 

Overview

The Azuga AI SafetyCam is designed to improve driver safety by automatically detecting risky driving behaviors, recording event-based video clips, and making those events available within the Azuga Fleet platform.
This guide consolidates all key information related to:

• AI event detection

• Driver monitoring capabilities

• ADAS functionality

• G-force and jolt events

• Manual button press recordings

• Event visibility in Azuga Fleet and AFM

1. How AI SafetyCam Detects Events

The AI SafetyCam uses a combination of:

• Built-in camera intelligence

• AI-based driver behavior analysis

• Vehicle telemetry and G-force data

• Motion and impact detection
  The system continuously monitors driving activity and automatically generates event recordings when unsafe or important driving behaviors are detected.

2. Types of Events Captured by AI SafetyCam

The AI SafetyCam can detect and register the following categories of events.

Driver Behavior Events

These events are generated using AI-based driver monitoring.

• Distracted Driving

• Using Phone While Driving

• Smoking

• Eating or Drinking

• Possible Fatigue / Drowsiness

• Driver Obstruction

• Camera Tampering

Driving Risk Events

These events are generated using vehicle movement and G-force analysis.

• Hard Braking

• Sudden Acceleration

• Hard Cornering

• G-force / Jolt Events

• High G-force Events

• Collision-related Events

Manual Events

These events are triggered manually by the driver.

• Button Pressed Event

3. Distracted Driving Detection

How the System Detects Distracted Driving

The AI SafetyCam uses the inward-facing camera and AI-based image analysis to identify distracted driving behavior.
Examples include:

• Looking away from the road repeatedly

• Phone usage while driving

• Eyes not focused on driving

• Driver inattentiveness
  The camera continuously analyzes driver posture and attention patterns in real time.

Can Sensitivity Be Controlled?

No. The distracted driving sensitivity is predefined by the AI model and cannot be manually adjusted.
This ensures:

• Consistent event detection

• Standardized safety monitoring

• Reduced configuration complexity

4. Driver Monitoring System (DMS) Support

Yes. The AI SafetyCam supports Driver Monitoring System (DMS) functionality.
The DMS functionality helps monitor:

• Driver attention

• Driver distraction

• Unsafe driver behavior

• Potential fatigue indicators
  The purpose of DMS is to proactively reduce risky driving behavior and improve fleet safety.

5. Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Support

Yes. The AI SafetyCam supports ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) functionality.
ADAS capabilities are designed to assist drivers by identifying potential road risks and unsafe driving conditions.
Depending on configuration and supported hardware, ADAS-related detections may include:

• Forward collision risk

• Unsafe following distance

• Lane-related driving risks
  These features are intended to improve driver awareness and accident prevention.

6. Understanding G-force / Jolt Events

What Triggers a G-force or Jolt Event?

A G-force or jolt event is generated when the camera detects sudden physical movement or impact forces acting on the vehicle.
These events are typically associated with:

• Sudden impacts

• Harsh driving behavior

• Vehicle jolts

• Collision-like movement

• Sharp directional force changes

Is It Dependent on Connection Type?

No. G-force event detection is not dependent on the connection type.
The event is triggered based on motion and force detection mechanisms within the system.---

7. Button Pressed Event

What Is a Button Pressed Event?

A Button Pressed event is a manually triggered recording event.

It allows the driver to intentionally capture and save a video clip whenever necessary.

Common use cases include:

• Reporting road incidents

• Capturing unsafe situations

• Recording important driving moments

• Preserving evidence during disputes

8. How to Trigger a Button Press Event

To trigger a Button Pressed event:

1. Press the physical event button connected to the AI SafetyCam.

2. The camera immediately marks the event.

3. A video clip is generated and uploaded to the platform.

This allows drivers to manually initiate recordings even when no AI-detected event occurs.

9. Video Recording Duration for Button Press Events

When a Button Pressed event is triggered, the AI SafetyCam records:

• Video before the button press

• Video after the button press

This ensures the full context surrounding the incident is captured.

The recorded clip duration includes both:

• Pre-event footage

• Post-event footage

This provides fleet managers with a complete understanding of what happened before, during, and after the event.

10. Where Events Are Visible

AI SafetyCam events are visible within:

• Azuga Fleet Web Application

• AFM (Azuga FleetMobile Application)

Fleet managers can:

• Review event videos

• Monitor driver behavior

• Investigate incidents

• Configure alerts

• Access event history

11. Recommended Best Practices

For Drivers

• Keep the camera unobstructed.

• Avoid touching or repositioning the camera unnecessarily.

• Use the button press feature when an important incident occurs.

• Maintain proper driving posture for accurate AI detection.

For Fleet Managers

• Regularly review AI-detected events.

• Configure alerts for high-risk behaviors.

• Use event footage for coaching and training.

• Monitor recurring distracted driving patterns.
