The IAS configuration application allows permitted users to configure, reconfigure, and check the status of IAS devices.

The configuration application runs on the IAS Processor. There are two ways to access the configuration application: local and remote.

Local (on site) configuration application access uses IAS's inbuilt wifi and a laptop or tablet. This requires no internet connection or subscriptions.

Local is the recommended approach for the initial configuration.

To access the configuration application using the local method, you will need:

Remote configuration application access uses 4G and a laptop with access to IAS Reporting. This requires that IAS has a good 4G connection.

Remote is the recommended approach for minor configuration tweaks.

To access the configuration application using the remote method, you will need:

Initial configuration is done using the IAS configuration wizard. The wizard configuration should take roughly 60 minutes.

The wizard can be paused and resumed as required. You can reuse the wizard on a partially or completely configured IAS by selecting the wizard to reset the device and starting again.

The vehicle type is dependent on the installation. It’s important to select the correct vehicle type as the configuration summary diagrams will be based on your selection. Select Other if your vehicle type is not listed.

Vehicle Information is where you provide information about the vehicle that IAS is installed on. A name is automatically generated based on the vehicle make, model, and unique identifier provided. Click the edit icon to change the automatically generated name.

Select the vehicle's operating environment(s) to optimise detections. Multiple environments can be selected.

The wizard will step through the camera configuration for each installed camera, to set its position, field of view, crop zone, critical zone, and warning zone.

You will be shown a snapshot of all connected cameras. IAS can be configured with up to six cameras.

Each camera is labelled with a camera port number linked to the physical port on the IAS Processor. The live stream is paused by default to reduce data usage.

Select which cameras you would like to configure for alerting.

Each camera must be linked to a position on the vehicle. Select one of the dots to indicate the physical placement of a camera on the vehicle.

This is an opportunity to ensure that the camera is aimed correctly. Changes require that the camera fixings be loosened, repositioned, and then tightened.

On some installations, cameras may need to be installed upside down. This could be due to a physical limitation on the vehicle or to reduce stress on the cable at the connection point of the camera. To rotate the image 180 degrees, use the flip button in the bottom right corner.

The approximate camera field of view can set. To rotate the field of view, select the orange area and drag. To change the size (width) of the field of view, select one of the two white circles and drag them together or apart.

This does not change IAS performance but helps operators and reporting users to visualise where IAS will detect objects.

A crop zone is used for ignoring static objects in the camera field of view, such as the vehicle itself. This is also useful for excluding areas where the operator could be detected. A crop zone is optional but recommended if parts of the vehicle can be seen.

To create a crop zone, double click on the camera image. You can create up to four crop zones.

Click and drag the circles to draw the desired zone, adding points if necessary.

Clicking next will save your crop zone. Clicking skip will not save any crop zone.

A critical zone is the highest risk area around the vehicle. It is typically within 4 metres of the vehicle. Objects detected in the critical zone can alert the operator differently and are marked in Reporting.

A critical zone is mandatory. The wizard will pre-populate a red critical zone. Click and drag the circles to draw the desired critical zone, adding or removing points as necessary.

The approximate critical zone distance must be set. This distance does not control the distance that IAS detects. It is intended to help users understand the approximate distances involved in the detection.

A warning zone is the moderate risk area around the vehicle. It is typically within 10 metres of the vehicle. It is intended to alert the operator of possible risks before they become serious. A warning zone always sits outside the critical zone.

A warning zone is optional but recommended. The wizard will pre-populate an orange warning zone in the same shape but outside of the critical zone. Click and drag the circles to draw the desired critical zone, adding or removing points as necessary.

The approximate warning zone distance must be set. This distance does not control the distance that IAS detects. It is intended to help users understand the approximate distances involved in the detection.

The alert trigger is a voltage signal from the vehicle that automatically enables and pauses detections, and therefore alerts, when the vehicle is 'safe' and 'unsafe'. The alert trigger is commonly connected to reverse gear, park brake, or hydraulic lock.

The alert trigger is optional but strongly recommended.

IAS can optionally trigger external alerts to create additional awareness to people around the vehicle. Up to two external alerts can be configured independently.

The most common external alerts are lights and voice alerts (speaker).

There are pre-configured settings for the most common external alerts or custom configurations can be made.

The wizard ends with a configuration summary.

Changes can be made by clicking back, on the camera location(s), or on the progress dots.

After IAS has been initially configured using the Wizard, the following options are available.

View configuration shows the current IAS configuration, including the number of cameras, their position, field of view, critical and warning zones, alert trigger, external alert, object(s) being detected, and name. Note that the fields of view and distances are illustrative and not necessarily to scale.

Following initial configuration using the wizard, IAS can be manually reconfigured. Manual configuration has some additional advanced configuration options.

Some settings can not be manually adjusted. The following settings can only be changed in the Wizard by resetting the device.

Allows the vehicle name to be changed.

See vehicle information section.

Allows a camera(s) positioning, angle, crop zone, critical zone, and warning zone to be changed.

This configuration only permits changes to cameras initially configured with the Wizard. If cameras are added or removed, the IAS must be reset and reconfigured using the Wizard.

Rotating the camera field of view is only available using the Wizard.

See Camera configuration section.

The Wizard will enable people detections for all cameras by default. Vehicles and Cones can be added manually.

Manual configuration also shows advanced detection settings. Advanced settings allow cameras to detect different objects. For example, camera 1 can detect people only but camera 2 can detect people and vehicles. This setting should be considered carefully before implementation.

Allows the alert trigger to be changed.

See Alert trigger section.

The Wizard enables the default operator alerts:

The operator alerts can be customised for each camera and detection type using the manual settings.

To adjust the sectors that illuminate for a camera, select the camera under “Camera sector activation” and choose the sectors on the radar plot. At least two sectors must be selected per camera.

Under “Alert sound settings”, the warning-zone and critical-zone sounds can be turned on or off independently. By default the critical-zone sound is on and the warning-zone sound is off.

Allows the external alerts to be changed.

See External alerts section.

Wizard configuration clears all IAS settings and restarts the Wizard. This is required when adding or removing cameras.

The connections shows IAS data connections.

The Overview tab shows what internet connections are present and GNSS location, if available. Note that GNSS may not be available in some locations and indoor environments.

The Modem tab shows current modem configuration, including sim IMEI and ICCID.

Modem settings is available to manually update connections, such as APN, PIN, and user details, if required.

The Ethernet tab shows current ethernet configuration, if present.

System management allows an IAS to be factory reset. This will delete all settings, events, and logs.

Once an IAS has been factory reset, a full configuring using the Wizard is required.

The current device status will report here. This page includes multiple tabs to fully understand the current system status. Please refer to the advanced troubleshooting guide for more in depth diagnosis steps.

An overall system state will always be shown. There are three states and three substates in addition to the alerts state of enabled or disabled:

1. Operational

• Partially degraded

– Screen display disconnected but enabled

– One or more, but not all, camera view too dark

• Partially failed

– One or more, but not all, cameras are disconnected

• Partially degraded and failed

– A combination of the partially degraded and partially failed

2. Degraded

• All camera views are too dark

3. Failed

• All cameras are disconnected

• Internal system fault

In any operational but partial substate, the system will continue to alert the operator and send events to the cloud on the unaffected cameras. The operator is also informed of these malfunctions via their operator display.

Camera status is displayed here. A system can be configured with up to four cameras. From this page, the current configuration and connection state can be seen. If you expect more cameras than are shown, you must check connections and reboot the system. If the problem persists, swap cables or cameras to isolate the issue between a:

Input and output states and their configuration status can be observed here. Low indicates a 0V signal and high indicates the 12/24/48V depending on the vehicle’s system voltage.

The input state will reflect the state of the input pin regardless of if it has been configured. If the state is changing as expected but the system is still not performing correctly, recheck your alert trigger settings.

The output state will only change if that output has been configured and if the system is actively alerting. These settings can be changed in the external alert settings.

The operator display’s connection status, configuration state, and camera sector configuration can all be viewed here.
