it will enter the main menu as follows. And the effective communication distance of Wi-Fi is about 7m,
please keep in this range.

Figure 13

After finishing Wi-Fi connection, we can calibrate the driver fatigue monitoring system or operate some
other settings about the device according to web page.

6.2 Operations of Installing and Calibrating

1) After making sure the driver’s driving posture and slight line as in normal driving, the assistant can
touch the “Calibration” button in the main menu to enter a real-time mode, as the below figure.

Figure 14

11
There will be a color square in the middle of the screen, the square is with three color modes:

a) Green, it means the relative angle and distance between the driver and driver fatigue monitoring
system is appropriate.

b) Red, it means the device is too closer to the driver or the angle of the device is not suitable. The
assistant should try to adjust the relative distance or angle of device, make sure that the driver’s face is
fully presented in the middle of the screen, being inside the color square. After finishing above steps, the
color of the square may turn green.
By the way, the assistant can adjust the pitch angle when the fixing hex nut is loose, as the below figure.
After adjusting to appropriate angle of the device, tighten the fixing hex nut.

Fixing hex nut

Figure 15

c) Yellow, it means the relative distance and the pitch angle of the device is appropriate, but the
included angle between the device and the front view of the driver is greater than +/- 10 degrees, the
assistant should rotate the device on the dashboard slightly until the square turn and stay green.

2) After making sure the color square stay green, the assistant should press the "start" button and
follow the guidance voice to begin calibrating, the driver must keep the view straight as in normal driving
during the calibrating process which lasts about 10S. After calibrating, the device will feedback by voice:

a) "Calibration is successful" indicates a successful calibrating. Then the web page will exit the
real-time mode automatically.

b) "To left" or "To right" indicates calibration is unsuccessful because the driver’s head is inclined left or
right. Slightly adjust the device angle again, and then repeat the calibrating process.

By touching the "cancel" button, you can exit the calibrating process at any time.

3) After finishing calibrating, the assistant should mark the current device position on the dashboard by
pencil carefully, then fixing the device on the marking position by 3M glue. According to above steps, the
calibration and installation is done.

7. DMM and FRS functions

After the device power up or reboot, the FRS function will first run automatically. Then, the device will
enter and keep in DMM mode. To make sure these two functions preform properly, please install and
calibrate the driver fatigue monitoring system carefully according to the guide of Charter 6 “Installation &
Calibration”.

7.1 Driver Monitoring Module (DMM)

The DMM function includes five sub functions: Fatigued Driving Warning, Distracted Driving Warning,
Driver Calling Warning, Driver Smoking Warning, No Driver Warning. DMM just runs when the speed is
above the starting speed set by the mobile phone, please refer to chapter 8.4 for the operation guidance.

When a warning is triggered, the device will send out a voice to alarm the driver, record the video of this
warning event, and the warning information can transfer to other devices by RS232 and CAN.

After the DMM function is running normally, there will be some elements overlaying in the real-time video
of the monitor, just as the below figure, these elements can be turn on or turn off by the mobile phone,
please refer to the chapter 8.4.

Figure 16

1） Fatigued Driving Warning

Fatigued driving detection is based on eyes closure degree. The device triggers a fatigued driving
warning, when the driver’s eyes close about 2-4 seconds or the eyelids droop over time.

13
 Figure 13

2） Distracted Driving Warning

Distracted driving warning is triggered when the device detects that the driver turns his (her) head to one
side (left or right) more than about 30 degrees for a long time (about 3-6 seconds).

Figure 14

3） Driver Calling Warning

Driver calling warning is triggered when the device detects that the driver holds the mobile phone for a
time more than about 2-4 seconds.

Figure 15

14
4） Driver smoking Warning
Driver smoking warning is triggered when the device detects that the driver keep smoking for a time
more than about 2-4 seconds.

Figure 160

5） No driver warning
No driver warning is triggered when the device cannot detect a driver for a long time (about 11 seconds).

Figure 21

15
7.2 Face Recognition System (FRS)

Face Recognition function detects whether a driver is registered (qualified to drive the car) and feedback
the recognition result by voice. If the unregistered driver is detected, the video of recognition process is
recorded. Thus, before performing FRS, please register the drivers at first.

1) Register new drivers

a) Touch the “Face Recognition” button to enter the face recognition management menu.
“Face login” item is to turn on (or off) the FRS function after the device powers up or reboots.

Figure 22

b) Touch “New face” to register a new qualified driver, and the driver should be without the glasses
during registering their facial information. After entering the driver’s name (or ID, etc.) and confirming, it
comes to a live video screen with an assisting square. Make sure that the driver’s face is fully in this
square. For better face recognition, it’s strongly recommended that the driver shakes his head slightly
during this registering process.

The assisting square will show different colors to hint the registering state:

 Green indicates that the system is recording the face information rightly.

 Yellow indicates that the system can’t detect the driver’s facial characteristic. A face outside the
square often leads to this problem. Make sure that the device is properly installed and calibrated. It rarely
happens after proper calibration. Adjusting the device and guiding the driver to make his face fully in the
square will also do the trick.

 White indicates that the system detects a static face. A slight head shaking often solved this problem.
The slight movement of the face is required to prohibit a fake identity by the picture.

16
Note: if the system can’t detect a face rightly overtime, it will exit to the face recognition management
menu and gives a failure notice.

Figure 17

c) After recording the new face rightly, the system will pop up a notice to select whether to register
another new driver (“new face”) or to finish the registration.

It may take some time from a few second to 2 minutes to finish the registration, according to the total
number of registering and preregistered drivers.

2) Manage the drivers' information

To manage a registered driver's information, press the “bulk delete” button to enter the delete mode,
chose the target driver, and press the “bulk delete” button again to finish the deleting motion.

Figure 24

17
3) Driver Recognition
There are two ways to run the FRS, firstly, press the “TEST LOGIN” option in FRS setting page, refer to
the above figure. Secondly, after the system powers up or reboot, the FRS function will automatically run.
It will guide the driver to shake his (her) head and blink for recognition process by voice. The recognition
results are feedback both by voice and notice in the video of monitor as follows.

When an unregistered driver is detected, the system will record the recognition process video into the
Micro SD card for playback. About how to play back the video, please refer to chapter 8.3.

Note: The start-up of the driver fatigue monitoring system may take about 10S, please keep a normal
driving posture for better face recognition after hearing the voice guide.
