Event settings
Events include risky incidents and driving distractions that are recognized by the Camera, based on the driver's behavior and the motion of the vehicle. The fleet manager/account administrator can configure these events to control how the events are handled and whether to receive email alerts.
From event settings, you can customize the events that are triggered to meet the needs of each vehicle and fleet. Settings can be applied for an individual vehicle or for multiple vehicles at once.
To configure settings and email alerts
- Log into your MICHELIN Connected Fleet Cameras Portal and from the navigation bar, click The list of Camera Devices loads.
- Click the settings cog next to the vehicle for which you would like to change its settings. To configure settings for multiple dashcams simultaneously, see Bulk events settings.
- A window opens with the Event Settings list.
- Toggle on to enable and toggle off to disable.
- Select the type of vehicle in which the Camera is installed.
This setting determines the sensitivity for each of the events. For example, vibration or turns change based on the kind of vehicle, and so events are triggered differently. From the top of the window, open the dropdown list to select one of the available options.
- From the scroll down menu next to each event, select how you want the event to be handled.
You can decide whether you would like the event to be:
- Off - The event won’t be captured by the camera; the event won't be registered, and the video won't automatically upload to the cloud
- Event Only - The event is registered and uploaded to the cloud as text.
If needed, recordings can be retrieved from the camera's SD card. Read more about recordings when this setting is configured. - Snapshot - The event is registered and a snapshot is uploaded to the cloud
If needed, recordings can be retrieved from the camera's SD card.
