Set linxCam Default Settings

Changing the linxCam default settings offers the opportunity to customize settings across all of your linxCams.

NOTE: The linxCam has the option for Driver Safety alerts including Tailgating, Cell Phone, and Seatbelt use. As a Fleet Manager or Safety Manager, you can adjust the number of alerts received by updating the Frequency or Sensitivity of an alert where available.

 

If you choose, in-cab AI alerting can be turned off while still generating alerts in the mobile and desktop applications. This allows you to easily establish baselines while getting started with new drivers or a new Driver Safety Program.

To set linxCam default settings:

1. Select the ‘SET LINXCAMS DEFAULTS’ button from the Camera Setup toolbar.
2. Update your settings to your preferences.
3. Select ‘SAVE’ to apply your changes.

Fleet defaults are indicated by an *asterisk.

• If a fleet default setting is selected, it will be dark.
• If a non-default setting is selected, it will be orange.

Each alert has a tool tip describing each option that can be updated.

NOTE: Even though linxCam and linxCam 2.0 are considered to be 2 different camera types, the settings are the same. Thus, one fleet default will apply to both linxCam camera types.

Managing Fleet Defaults

Fleet wide defaults can be set for each individual alert. These default settings will be used for new cameras.

• If a change is made to the fleet default, all cameras that had no changes to that particular setting will be updated to the new defaults.
  • Cameras that have an individual custom setting will keep their custom settings.
    • Example: Camera 1 is using the default settings for all, but Tailgating. If a change is made to the defaults on Tailgating they will not be applied to this camera, but all other settings will change to the new default.

To return any camera(s) to fleet default settings:

1. Select the camera(s) to edit.
2. Choose the default setting(s) to return them to the fleet default.
   • This can be by individual settings OR for all settings using the ‘USE FLEET DEFAULTS’ button.

To return any camera(s) to Linxup defined default settings:

1. Select the camera(s) to edit.
2. Select the ‘USE FACTORY DEFAULTS’ button.
   • This will update ALL of the settings to the Linxup defined defaults.

To return the Fleet Default to Linxup defined default settings:

• Select the ‘SET LINXCAM DEFAULTS’ button.
• Select the ‘USE FACTORY DEFAULTS’ button.
• This will update ALL of the Fleet Default settings to the Linxup defined defaults.
  • Cameras using the default settings will be updated.
  • Cameras that have an individual custom setting will keep that custom setting(s) and default settings will be updated.
