This guide details how to access and manage FleetCam Settings in the Geotab for FleetCam add-on.

Using FleetCam Settings
In FleetCam Settings, users are shown a list of Event Types available on their account and the following settings options:
Generate Event: Determines if an event should be generated for this Event Type, and if so, whether it should be a video or non-video event. .
In-Cab Alert: Whether the in-cab audio notification plays for the driver when the event is triggered.
Sensitivity: How sensitive the trigger for the event is. Low sensitivity will trigger fewer events, and high sensitivity will trigger more events.
Minimum Speed: The minimum speed a vehicle must be traveling at before the event can be triggered
Minimum Duration: The minimum duration the event must persist for before triggering.
Special Condition: Special conditions for certain Event Types which modify when event alert is triggered.
The settings listed above are available for most Event Types, but not all (e.g., there are no in-cab alerts for the No Driver Detected Event Type).
These FleetCam settings apply to all devices in the account except for devices which have been given different settings individually, in which case, those settings will override the account-wide settings for that device.
