DMS and ADAS cameras: anti-fatigue and anti-collision

A DMS camera watches the driver and detects fatigue, distraction and phone use; an ADAS camera watches the road and warns of collision risk. Endeavant cameras alert the driver in the cab, and our 24/7 Control Center validates every event with its video. Three units: Avant 3, Avant 5 and Avant 8.

DMS and ADAS: what each camera watches

A DMS (driver monitoring system) is the camera that watches the driver and detects fatigue, drowsiness, distraction and phone use. ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) is the camera that watches the road and warns of forward collision, lane departure and pedestrians. Together they cover the person and the road; the full guide is in DMS and ADAS smart cameras.

Avant line

Avant 3, 5 and 8: 3 to 8 cameras

The Avant line of Endeavant smart cameras has three units, and each one's number is how many cameras it takes. The choice depends on how much of the vehicle you need to cover and how much video must stay recorded on board. What each camera covers on a freight truck or a bus is in cameras for trucks and buses.

1 to 8 cameras

Every camera in the same event

The recorder takes every camera and keeps them in sync: when an alert comes in, the evidence brings what each one saw at that moment, and one MP4 per camera downloads. Each one covers a different point of the vehicle.

  • DMS · the driverFatigue, closed eyes, yawning, distraction, phone, smoking and covered lens.
  • ADAS · the roadForward collision, following distance, lane departure, pedestrians and signs.
  • CabThe whole cab with night vision: what was going on inside before the event.
  • Sides, reverse and traySide blind spots, reversing and load status (Avant 5 and 8).

How it works

From the event in the cab to the report

The Endeavant smart camera processes on board: it detects the event and alerts in the cab without querying a server, so the alert does not depend on signal. Every event uploads to Endeavant Cloud with its video and the 24/7 Control Center validates it.

  1. The camera detectsFatigue, distraction, phone use or a risky maneuver, frame by frame.
  2. In-cab alertVoice, seat vibration and light: the driver corrects during the event.
  3. 24/7 validationThe event uploads to Endeavant Cloud with its video and the Control Center validates it.
  4. ReportRoutes, shifts and drivers with the most risk, in the report your operation needs.

DMS · the driver

Seven behaviors the DMS detects

The DMS on Endeavant cameras tracks the driver's face frame by frame and measures how long each gesture lasts before classifying the event. Here is how AI fatigue detection works; what happens when the driver falls asleep is in anti-fatigue camera.

Fatigue and drowsiness

Microsleep, closed eyes and head nodding.

Yawning

Frequency and mouth opening.

Phone use

Phone in hand or at the ear while driving.

Distraction

Gaze off the road and sustained head turn.

Smoking

Lit cigarette in the cab.

Covered lens

Lens obstruction is reported as an event.

Driver change

Biometric recognition on Avant 5 and 8.

Night vision

Infrared with photobiological certificate: safe for the eyes.

DMS · day and night

How the DMS sees the driver

The DMS camera sits low on the dashboard, facing the driver, and tracks eyes, mouth and head position frame by frame; the mesh in these videos shows those points. At night it sees with infrared light and carries a photobiological certificate, so the light does not harm the eyes. Every event uploads with the video, plate, speed and time.

ADAS · the road

ADAS anti-collision and blind spots

The ADAS camera sits on the windshield, watches the road and warns the driver before a forward collision, a lane departure or when following the vehicle ahead too closely; it also recognizes pedestrians and speed signs. Avant 5 and 8 add side cameras and BSD radar for both sides. More in ADAS for commercial fleets and, alert by alert, in anti-collision system.

CH2 · ADAS

FCW and HMW · forward collision and headway

Risk of impact with the vehicle ahead and not enough distance to stop in time.

CH2 · ADASLane departure

LDW · lane departure

Unsignaled line crossing, a common sign of drowsiness.

CH2 · ADAS

Pedestrians

Detection of people in the frontal risk zone, in towns and access roads.

CH2 · ADAS

Speed signs

Reads the stretch's sign to compare it with the vehicle's speed.

CH6 · BSD

BSD · blind spots

Warns when a person or vehicle comes alongside the truck (Avant 5 and 8).

CH8 · TolvaTray

Reverse and tray

Behind the vehicle and over the load: reversing and tray status (Avant 5 and 8).

The accelerometer also logs harsh acceleration, cornering and braking. Recreated reference videos.

In the cab

In-cab alert during the event

The Endeavant camera alert combines a voice warning, seat vibration and, on Avant 5 and 8, an alert light, so the driver corrects right then instead of in a report the next day. Thresholds, sensitivity and voice prompts are set per fleet.

  • Voice warningAs soon as the event is detected. It does not wait for someone to look at a screen.
  • Seat vibration12 V or 24 V motor, for when sound is not enough.
  • Alert lightOn Avant 5 and 8, for noisy cabs.
  • Panic buttonEmergency alert with position, logged as top priority.

Build

Rugged unit against vibration, dust and tampering

Avant units live inside the vehicle, so vibration, dust and tampering are solved in hardware: an anti-tamper case, a bolted metal housing and, on the Avant 8, MIL-STD-810H certification.

  • Anti-tamper caseCovers connections, SIM and micro SD. Unplugging the unit means opening the case, and a covered lens is logged as an event.
  • Bolted metal housingInstallation and calibration hold up under vibration and dust.
  • Infrared LED shieldDims the glare inside the cab.

Endeavant Cloud

Every alert with its video on Endeavant Cloud

Endeavant Cloud is Endeavant's own platform: every camera alert arrives with video from every camera, the location and the shift driver, on one screen. That is where it is validated, the cab is spoken to and reports are built.

  • 15 s before and afterOne MP4 per camera, stored for 12 months.
  • Shift driver on the alertQR check-in, no app and no biometric data.
  • Voice to the cabMessage to the vehicle to correct while it happens.

FAQ

DMS and ADAS camera FAQ

What is a DMS camera?
A DMS camera (driver monitoring system) faces the driver and uses artificial intelligence to detect fatigue, closed eyes, yawning, distraction, phone use, smoking and a covered lens. It sees at night with infrared. On Endeavant smart cameras the DMS processes on board and alerts in the cab with voice and seat vibration the moment the event happens.
What is the difference between DMS and ADAS?
The DMS watches the driver and ADAS watches the road. The DMS detects fatigue, distraction and phone use; ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) warns of forward collision (FCW), lane departure (LDW), short following distance (HMW) and pedestrians. On the Avant 3 the DMS is built in and ADAS is optional; the Avant 5 and Avant 8 include both, plus BSD blind-spot radar.
What is the difference between the Avant 3, 5 and 8?
The number is how many cameras each unit takes. The Avant 3 takes up to 3 and is built for light and heavy transport, such as pickups, trucks and buses. The Avant 5 takes up to 5 and adds DMS PRO with driver recognition, blind-spot radar, side and reverse cameras and a display, for freight. The Avant 8 takes up to 8, with a 1 TB solid-state drive and MIL-STD-810H certification, for mining.
What drives the cost of a DMS and ADAS system?
The cost of a DMS and ADAS camera system depends on how many cameras each unit carries (Avant 3, 5 or 8), how much video must stay recorded on board (micro SD, two SD cards or a 1 TB solid-state drive), the number of units and whether monitoring is done by Endeavant's 24/7 Control Center or by your own team. With that, Endeavant puts together the quote for your fleet.
How is it installed and how long does it take?
Installation takes two to three hours per vehicle and is done by Endeavant technicians, who work across northern, central and southern Peru. The technician mounts the unit facing the driver, routes the cameras your operation defines and sets thresholds, sensitivity, voice prompts and users the same day.
Does the camera work without signal?
Yes. The camera processes on board and the in-cab alert is the same with or without coverage, including underground and on high-altitude routes. Without signal, the event video stays in the unit's memory with time and position, and uploads to Endeavant Cloud on its own when signal returns, so no event is lost.
Does the DMS camera work at night?
Yes. The DMS uses infrared light to see the driver's face at night, and the unit carries a photobiological certificate, so the infrared light does not harm the driver's eyes. A shield dims the glare inside the cab. Night captures reach Endeavant Cloud with the plate, speed and time.
Who reviews the alerts?
Every event reaches Endeavant Cloud with video from 15 seconds before to 15 seconds after, and Endeavant's 24/7 Control Center validates it: it confirms whether it is real or a false positive, talks to the cab if needed and notifies your supervisor on WhatsApp with the evidence. If your operation has its own monitoring room, it works on the same platform.
