1. Product introduction
1.1.Product overview
GD14 is a comprehensive automotive active safety product that integrates functions such as satellite
positioning, video monitoring, and active safety. This product meets the needs of fleet monitoring,
management, driver safety, and compliance with driving behavior. Based on advanced deep learning
technology, active safety features such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Driver
Monitoring Systems (DMS), Lane Change Assist (LCA), and other intelligent algorithms can be applied
to complex driving scenarios to enhance the safety and efficiency of traffic driving, improving the
overall user experience. Artificial intelligence technology integrated into the vehicle driving process can
further standardize the driver's safe driving behavior.
This product supports the national standard protocols such as JT/T808, JT/T905, JT/T1078, etc.,
meeting the needs of video surveillance and regulation of driving behavior for online car-hailing, taxi,
and logistics fleets.

4. AI functions
This device uses machine vision technology based on video analysis to automatically
identify road hazards and unsafe driving behaviors of the driver. Any detected event will trigger
a sound alarm to instantly alert the driver, and these events will also be synchronized on the
platform.
Note: AI functionality must be calibrated and configured according to the installation instructions,
otherwise, the accuracy of AI functionality may be affected.
Algorithm warning trigger condition: Trigger speed greater than 30km/h.
Outdoor testing: Verify device connection to GPS antenna, use GPS speed.
Indoor testing: Method 1 After connecting to the mobile app, enter the recorder settings -
click on the firmware version once to prompt that the simulated speed has been turned on -
the device will restore after restarting.
Method 2: Put the simulated speed text into the root directory of the T card - insert the
device - prompt that the simulated speed has been opened - the device will restart to take
effect.

5. Installation instructions
5.1.Installation location related regulations
Note: The following suggestions do not constitute legal advice. Please comply with local laws and
regulations.
Installation Position Regulations for Recorders - United States

13
 14

According to the regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the
onboard recording device is allowed to be installed in any of the following positions:
 From the top of the windshield to 8.5 inches below the upper edge of the area swept by the
windshield wipers.

Installation Position Regulations for Recorders - United Kingdom

In order to determine the positioning of the recorder, the windshield is divided into several zones:
 Area A: A vertical area centered around the steering wheel, 29 centimeters wide (35 centimeters
wide for vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons), swept by the windshield.
 Area B: The windshield sweeps over the remaining parts except for Area A.
Any part of the dashcam (including the bracket and wires) should not extend into Area A by more than
10 millimeters (1 centimeter), nor into Area B by more than 40 millimeters (4 centimeters).

5.2.Installation location recommendations

It is recommended to install GD14 on the upper edge of the windshield directly above the steering
wheel, as shown in the picture.
In order to ensure safe driving and maximize the accuracy of AI algorithms, the selection of device
installation location needs to be based on the following principles:
 Do not block the driver's line of sight.
 Do not disturb the driver while driving.
 The device should be kept level and not tilted.

14
 15

 The driver's face is best displayed in the center of the inward-facing camera's screen (preview can
be viewed in the "viidure" app).
 It is best for the center point of the front camera image to align with the horizon (you can preview it
in the "viidure" app).

8. Usage precautions
8.1 Warning
The danger driving alerts issued by active safety artificial intelligence devices cannot replace the driver's
driving decisions and operations.

The dangerous driving alerts issued by active safety artificial intelligence devices are developed based on
computer vision and deep learning technology, and cannot guarantee 100% recognition accuracy. For
example, the accuracy of the algorithm's recognition varies under different road conditions and weather
conditions.

This device is designed to help users improve their understanding of driving conditions when used
correctly. If used improperly, users may be distracted, leading to accidents, resulting in property damage or
personal injury. Do not attempt to view stored information or change device settings while driving. Only
operate this device when your vehicle is in a stationary position and parked in a safe location in accordance
with local laws. Please always be aware of your surroundings and do not let the screen or phone distract you.
Focusing on devices may lead to driving dangers. The risk of using this device will be borne by the user.

When installing the device on a vehicle, please do not place it in a position that obstructs the driver's
view of the road or interferes with the operation and control of the vehicle, such as the steering wheel, pedals,
or gear lever. Do not place it on the vehicle dashboard without fixing it. Do not place the device in front of or
on top of any safety airbag.

Some countries or regions prohibit or restrict drivers from playing videos on devices. Please comply
with the relevant laws in each area.

25
 26

8.2 Maintenance Precautions

1. Please keep the device dry. Do not let devices and cables stay in a damp environment, and do not operate
devices with wet hands to avoid equipment short circuit, corrosion-induced failures, or electric shock to
personnel.

2. Please avoid subjecting the device to strong impacts or vibrations to prevent equipment malfunctions.

3. Please do not place the device and power supply in excessively high or low temperatures, as it may cause
equipment malfunctions.

4. Please do not hit, throw, or puncture the equipment, and also avoid dropping or squeezing the equipment.

5. Please do not use unofficially approved or provided power and data cables.

6. Please do not disassemble the equipment and accessories without authorization, otherwise the equipment
and accessories will not be covered under warranty.
