How to use Fleet Profiles

This guide is a step-by-step overview of the Profiles page on ROSCOLive.

The Profiles page allows the user to create and define custom fleet profiles to apply to the cameras in the fleet.

Locate the Vehicles option in the side-bar menu.

Select the Settings tab at the top of the page.

Profiles Menu

This menu is where you can select a profile to view or choose to create a new one by selecting Add a New Profile.

Your fleet will at least have one profile named Default. This profile, as the name suggests, is a default profile. This profile can be applied to cameras like any other profile, but it cannot be changed or edited in any way.

1. Profile Name
The name of the profile. Click this to see and edit the profile settings.
2. Created At timestamp
This is the date and time the profile was created.
3. Last Changed timestamp
This is the date and time the last time the profile settings were changed. If it is the same as the Created At date, then the profile has not been changed since it was first created.
4. Profile Comments
Click to leave or view notes for a comment. A menu will pop up that will display any existing notes and will allow you to edit. NOTE: Profile comments are global, meaning notes can be viewed and edited by anyone with access to the fleet profiles.
5. Preferred profile tag Shows which profile is currently the Preferred profile.

Preferred Profiles

A Preferred profile is a profile you wish to be applied to a camera after installation. By default, the “Default” fleet profile is the preferred profile. You can tell which profile is currently the preferred profile by looking for the Preferred tag on the Setting Profiles page.

How to set a Preferred profile

If you want to change which profile is a Preferred profile, do the following:

1. Click on a profile (other than Default) to open the settings page.

2. At the top right, click the Actions button and click Make Preferred Profile from the drop-down menu.
I don't see this option
If you do not see this option then it could mean two things:

  1. You selected the Default profile.
  2. The profile you selected is already the Preferred profile.

Try selecting another profile and try again.

3. A menu will appear informing you are about to change the preferred profile This menu tells you what the current preferred profile is and asks if you want to change it to the profile you have selected. If you wish to proceed, click Yes and the profile will be assigned as the new Preferred profile. If you do not wish to do this, click No and no changes will be made.

4. Done!
Now when you return to the Setting Profiles page, you will now see the Preferred tag next to the profile you selected.

Profile Settings Page

By clicking on a profile you will be brought to the Profile Settings page. Here is where you can add a new profile or edit an existing one if you wish. Notice there are three buttons to navigate the different menus on this page with the General settings menu displayed first.

Adding a New Profile

If you wish to create a new profile, select the Add a New Profile button to begin.

A pop-up will appear asking you to select a profile as a starting point. If you don't have any profiles made in your company, then Default will be your only option.

From there you will be brought to the page where you can select and edit options for your profile. After you are satisfied with your changes, select Add at the top-right corner of the page.

A pop-up will appear asking you to name the new profile and if you'd like to apply it to any vehicles. If you do not select any vehicles to apply your new profile to, it will simply be saved and not applied to any vehicles.

Finally, selecting Create (or Create and Update if applying to vehicles) will save the profile and if any vehicles were selected, pushed to those cameras to change their settings.

Editing, Saving, & Deleting a Profile

Editing

In order to begin editing a profile, click the Edit pencil icon next to the profile name drop-down.

If you wish to undo the changes made to a profile before saving, click the Actions drop-down button and select Restore. This will restore the profile to the state before any changes were made.

Saving

To save changes made to a profile, simply select Save at the top-right of the screen.

After selecting Save the following pop-up will appear:

When saving a profile on RoscoLive, if any existing vehicles have the profile applied to them, they will automatically get the update when you click Save and Update. You also have the option to select additional vehicles you would like to apply the profile to by using the checkbox next to their name in the list displayed. If the profile is not already applied to a vehicle and you did not select any additional vehicles to apply it to, the profile will only be saved and not applied to any vehicles

Settings Categories

The settings in each section are separated into device categories. The settings within that device category affect that device in particular. The device categories are:

  • DV6 / DVXC4 - Settings in this category affect both the DV6 and DVXC4 cameras.
  • DV6 - Settings in this category affect only the DV6 camera.
  • DVXC4 - Settings in this category affect only the DVXC4 camera.

The sections below will detail the different tab menus associated with the Profile Settings page.

General Settings

The General Settings menu is the first menu displayed when inside the Profile Settings page. These settings effect various functions of the camera such as chime volume, LED brightness, time zone, parking mode duration, and other similar settings.

DV6 / DVXC4



Speed Unit - This setting determines what unit of speed the camera will report. This setting affects the speed displayed on screen during an event, vehicle speed displayed in the metadata, vehicle speed displayed on LCD (DVXC4 only), and the Speed Event threshold units. Default is MPH.

Overlay speed on video - When toggled ON, will display the vehicle speed on the event video. Default is ON.

Parking Duration - Sets the duration of Parking Mode for the camera, can also be disabled by selecting the option Disable. Default is 1 hour.

Timezone - Sets the timezone in which the camera will report event time in. Default is US/Eastern.
It is important to note that the timezone setting on the camera does not affect the time displayed by events on ROSCOLive. This setting effects the time displayed on the event video.

DVXC4



Camera Event Chime - An audible chime the camera makes when an event occurs. Default is ON.

Display Speed on LCD - Will display vehicle speed on camera LCD screen. Default is OFF.

LCD Backlight - These sliders control the intensity of the LED brightness during Day Mode and Night Mode. Sliding to the left will make it dimmer, and sliding to the right will make it brighter.

DV6



DMS Alert Voice - Audible voice alerts for DMS. Default is ON.

Chime Volume - Volume control for the audible chime when an event occurs.

CAN Bus

The DV6 is able to connect to CAN interfaces so that it can read certain data about the vehicle for some camera operations. In order to do this, the DV6 must be configured to read the appropriate protocol the vehicle's CAN bus uses. The following are the different CAN options for the DV6:

Off - Select this if the connection is a direct connection (hardwired) and does not have CAN.

OBD-II - Select this if the camera is connected to an OBD-II port using the DV665 Harness or has J1979.


J1939 Type I - Select this if the camera is connected to a black J1939 port using the DV668 harness.


J1939 Type II - Select this if the camera is connected to a green J1939 port using the DV668 harness.


Video Settings

The Video Settings menu controls the video resolution captured by the recording channels on a camera.

Channels

DV6 / DVXC4 have channels 1 and 2 ON by default. Channel 1 is the road facing camera and Channel 2 is the interior / driver facing camera. Turning a channel to OFF will disable video recording for that channel (and audio if applicable) on the camera.

Channel 2 is equipped with the ability to record audio which is ON by default; to disable audio recording select Audio Off for Channel 2.

DVXC4 cameras can also have additional cameras added to channels 3 and 4.

Camera Quality Settings

Most Storage - Selecting this setting will shrink the recording file size to allow more recording time available on the SD card by lowering the video quality.

Default - The default is a balance between most storage and best video. This is the recommended setting for most applications.

Best Video - Selecting this setting will increase the video quality of events recorded by the camera at the expense of storage due to larger file sizes.

Estimated Recording Hours

This displays the approximate hours of recording you can expect from a camera at the current settings with various SD card sizes.

Event Settings

Adjust these settings to customize what events and alerts you would like to receive from your cameras.

Most event types have the option to select Event Video or Alert Only. If Event Video is selected, the event will upload a video each time the event is triggered along with the alert. If Alert Only is selected, only an alert will be generated for that event and sent via email and/or SMS depending on your notification settings.

DV6 / DVXC4

  • Driver Event - Will trigger an event if the driver event button is pressed.
  • Speeding - Will trigger an event if the vehicle exceeds the Speeding Threshold.
  • G-Sensor - Will trigger an event if the vehicle experiences g-forces outside acceptable limits. For best results, use the sensitivity slider to match the type of vehicle the camera is in. The scale is from left to right most sensitive to least sensitive.

DVXC4

  • External Driver Event - Will trigger an event if the external driver button is pressed.
  • Mobileye© - ADAS - Settings for the Mobileye© ADAS system events. Requires the installation of additional hardware, for more information contact your reseller.
  • DMS - Settings for DMS events. Requires the installation of additional hardware, for more information contact your reseller. Brochure

DV6

DMS

When channel 2 is enabled, the camera is capable of detecting DMS events. The following are each type of event:

  • Distraction - Detects if a driver turns their head left or right for a period of time.
  • Yawning - Detects if a driver yawns excessively.
  • Drowsiness/Looking Down - Detects if a driver's eyes are closed for a period of time OR if they are looking down, such as when they are texting.
  • Phone Use/Hand to Head - Detects if a driver has a phone up to their ear OR if their hand is near their head as if holding a phone to it.
Harsh Events

This event type is split into two categories: Harsh Acceleration and Harsh Braking. Both detect when there is a rapid acceleration or de-acceleration respectively, indicating that the driver may have accelerated too quickly or had to brake suddenly.

For best results, use the sensitivity slider to match the type of vehicle the camera is in.
