Frequently asked questions

What tools do I need to install the AiVA Pedestrian Detection System?

To install the AiVA Pedestrian Detection system, you will need basic tools such as a ladder for mounting the camera, a test light or multimeter for electrical connections, and standard hand tools for securing wires.

Is it safe to connect the AiVA system to my machine's power?

Yes, but you must take precautions. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any electrical work to prevent shocks or shorts. If you're unsure about any connections, it's best to consult a qualified auto electrician for assistance.

How do I configure the camera settings after installation?

After installing the camera, download the AiVA app on your smartphone. Log in or create an account, power on the camera, and follow the prompts in the app to set up your vehicle details, internet connection, and alert preferences. Make sure to review and save your settings before rebooting the camera.

What should I do if the camera doesn't detect pedestrians during testing?

If the camera does not detect pedestrians during testing, first check that all connections are secure and that the camera is powered on. Ensure that you have configured the detection settings correctly in the app. If issues persist, contact customer support for further assistance.

Can I adjust how close a pedestrian needs to be for alerts to trigger?

Yes, you can customise the inner detection range through the AiVA app. After connecting to your camera, navigate to the settings where you can adjust how close pedestrians must be before alerts are activated. This allows you to tailor the system's responsiveness to your specific environment and safety needs.
