Quick Start: Getting the Most Out of DriverView in 10 Minutes

Follow these steps to set up DriverView and start getting actionable insights in under 10 minutes.

0:00–1:00 — Unbox & Mount

• Unpack: Remove device, mount, power cable, and quick-start guide.
• Mount location: Place DriverView on the windshield behind the rearview mirror, centered, so the camera has a clear view of the driver and road.
• Attach mount: Secure the suction or adhesive mount and confirm it’s stable.

1:00–2:00 — Power Up

• Connect power: Plug the power cable into the device and your vehicle’s 12V socket or USB power source.
• Indicator check: Ensure LED/status light shows device is booting.

2:00–4:00 — Connect to App

• Download app: Install the DriverView mobile app (iOS or Android).
• Create account: Sign up with your email or use the provided company credentials.
• Pair device: Follow in-app pairing—usually scan QR code on device or enter device ID.

4:00–6:00 — Configure Basic Settings

• Profile: Enter driver name and vehicle details.
• Permissions: Allow camera and location as requested.
• Recording mode: Choose continuous or event-triggered recording.
• Privacy: Enable driver-facing recording only if required by policy; otherwise set combined road+driver as needed.

6:00–8:00 — Calibrate & Test

• Camera angle: Use live preview in the app to adjust camera so driver’s face and road ahead are visible.
• Audio check: Ensure microphone picks up cabin audio if used.
• Test drive: Drive a short distance and trigger an event (braking or lane drift) to confirm alerts and recordings work.

8:00–9:00 — Configure Alerts & Integrations

• Safety alerts: Enable real-time alerts for drowsiness, distracted driving, hard braking, and following distance.
• Alert delivery: Set push notifications, SMS, or email for managers as needed.
• Fleet integrations: Connect to your fleet management system or telematics if available (API key or cloud link).

9:00–10:00 — Review & Optimize

• Review clips: Open the recent events tab and watch recorded clips to verify detection accuracy.
• Adjust sensitivity: Lower or raise sensitivity for false positives/negatives.
• Set routines: Schedule automatic upload times (e.g., when vehicle is parked and on Wi‑Fi) to save data.

Quick Tips

• Keep lens clean for reliable detection.
• Use mounting template if provided to ensure legal/optimal placement.
• Train drivers with a 2-minute demo to reduce pushback and improve compliance.
• Privacy note: Follow local laws and company policies about in-cabin recording.
