Camera Settings

This article contains instructions on configuring camera settings.

Note: The TT8900 is EOL: Discontinued as of May 2026.

Dashcam settings can be adjusted through the Dashcam Admin page, including options for AI features. Previously, these settings were configured by the support team before or after deployment. Any existing configurations remain unchanged and do not need to be reset.

  6. After updating, select Update Settings to apply changes.

Important Notes:

  • If the dashcam is online, most changes apply immediately or after the next scheduled reboot (typically every 24 hours). Some updates may trigger an automatic reboot.

  • If the dashcam is offline, settings are stored on the server and will apply when the device reconnects or is installed.

Check out the sections below for more details on the various settings that can be adjusted on dashcams.


General Settings

  • Record Audio - This setting turns on audio recording for all footage.

  • Different states may have laws and legal requirements around consent and audio recording; you are responsible for researching them and taking the appropriate actions to ensure compliance.

  • Record In-Cab/Driver Facing Video - Turn the driver-facing camera on or off.

  • In-Cab Alerts - Set whether or not the dashcam device gives in-cab alerts about AI events to the driver.

  • Camera Height - Distance from the ground to the height of the camera lens; the accuracy of these settings impacts the road-facing AI features.

Xirgocam Specific General Settings

  • Allow Driver Access - Enables the driver to make adjustments to settings such as the In-Cab (driver facing) camera being on or off, video display and orientation. Audio cannot be controlled by the driver regardless of this setting.

  • Show Video Display - Choose whether the dashcam screen displays the footage it is recording or not. If this is set to off the dashcam screen will be black but it will still display the cellular connection status and settings menu at the bottom of the screen.

  • Orientation- If your dashcam has been installed inverted (which is typically the recommended way of installing) then this option should be set to "Flipped". Not sure? If your dashcam media is coming through upside down then you likely need to adjust this setting.
