12 Core Automotive DMS AI Safety Alarms
Powered by an onboard automotive neural processor, MR810 continuously calculates facial landmark vectors, eyelid closure frequency (PERCLOS), gaze vectors, and dangerous behavior patterns in total darkness.
Drowsiness & Fatigue
Real-time neural tracking of pupil dilation, eyelid micro-closures, and respiratory facial features to mitigate microsleep hazards.
- Fatigue Alarm: PERCLOS eye closure > 1.5s triggers rapid acoustic and sensory alerts.
- Yawning Alarm: Detects repetitive yawning frequency and deep inhalation patterns.
- Micro-sleep Prevention: Triggers optional seat vibration before catastrophic collision.
Distraction & Habits
Enforces strict driver attentiveness by monitoring head pitch, yaw, and secondary object interactions while in motion.
- Distraction Alarm: Head turned away from forward trajectory for over 3 seconds.
- Phone Calling Alarm: Detects handheld smartphone usage near either ear.
- Smoking Alarm: Recognizes cigarette presence and repeated hand-to-mouth motions.
Compliance & Identity
Audits cabin safety regulations and verifies driver operational integrity during transit and shift handoffs.
- No Seatbelt Alarm: Detects unbuckled shoulder belt while vehicle speed exceeds threshold.
- No Driver Detected: Alerts if driver seat is vacant while ignition is on and vehicle rolling.
- Driver Change Alarm: Facial ID verification detects unauthorized driver swaps.
Anti-Tampering & Sensor Integrity
Defends against intentional driver tampering and ensures 100% optical visibility in all lighting conditions.
- IR Glasses Blocking: Alerts when infrared-reflective sunglasses block pupil tracking.
- Camera Blocking Alarm: Immediate warning if lens is shielded by tape, hats, or hands.
- Camera Failure Alarm: Internal diagnostic alerts CMS if optical sensor feed degrades.
Tailored for Commercial Fleet Operational Profiles
Match MR810 hardware interfaces and alert peripherals to your fleet vehicle classes, operational duty cycles, and telematics systems.

Long passenger routes demand discrete, zero-panic driver fatigue mitigation without alarming travelers in the cabin.
Long-Haul Freight & Logistics
Overnight highway hauls face extreme fatigue risks and need seamless GPS tracker telemetry reporting to dispatch centers.
Mining Dump Trucks & Haulers
Severe vibrational shocks, dust, and continuous 24/7 haul shifts require ruggedized mounting and high-impact physical alerts.
Hazardous Chemicals & Tankers
Zero-tolerance safety compliance demands strict enforcement against smoking, phone calling, and unbuckled seatbelts.
Modular In-Cabin Alert & Display Peripherals
Expand MR810 beyond acoustic voice alerts with plug-and-play tactile vibration cushions, under-seat motors, flashing strobe beacons, and heavy-duty metal brackets.
Vibration Cushion (MR810-VC)
Direct seat-pad vibration instantly wakes drivers during fatigue or yawning without generating alarming noise in passenger buses.
Under-Seat Vibration Motor (MR810-MOT)
Industrial mechanical vibration motor installed under driver seat structure, delivering powerful physical resonance in loud trucks.
Strobe Warning Light & Controller (MR810-AL)
High-visibility flashing LED warning beacon with integrated controller, delivering dual optic-acoustic deterrence for distraction and smoking.
Heavy-Duty Metal Bracket (ST-1)
Rugged double-ball-head all-metal mount offering higher elevation and rock-solid anti-vibration stability in off-road and mining dump trucks.
7-Inch Dashboard Monitor (DP230)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key difference between MR810-PV and MR810-PVO?
Both models share the exact same 12-alarm edge AI driver monitoring engine, 3x I/O signal outputs, RS232 telemetry interface, Wi-Fi AP calibration, and 512GB local storage. The key difference is that MR810-PVO includes an additional 1-channel 720P AHD video output port. This enables MR810-PVO to output real-time driver video to an in-cabin dashboard monitor (like the DP230 7-inch display) or stream video into a secondary MDVR recorder, whereas MR810-PV is optimized for telematics data and trigger reporting into GPS trackers without video streaming.
How does MR810 track driver drowsiness in total darkness or through sunglasses?
MR810 integrates high-intensity 940nm invisible infrared illuminators. Unlike visible light which dazzles drivers at night, 940nm IR provides crystal-clear illumination invisible to the human eye. The optical sensor detects pupil dilation and PERCLOS eyelid closure through standard corrective eyeglasses and ordinary tinted sunglasses. If a driver wears specialized infrared-reflective sunglasses that completely obstruct pupil tracking, the system triggers the dedicated Infrared Glasses Blocking Alarm.
Can MR810 integrate with our existing third-party GPS trackers or MDVR systems?
Yes. MR810 features three configurable I/O trigger outputs and one RS232 serial telemetry interface. It supports standard JT808 protocols and customized RS232 telemetry output streams. When an alarm (such as fatigue, smoking, or distraction) occurs, MR810 instantaneously pulses the corresponding I/O output or transmits a data packet over RS232 to your onboard GPS tracker, which then transmits the alarm event, speed, and coordinates to your fleet management platform.
How does the Vibration Cushion (MR810-VC) benefit passenger bus fleets?
In passenger buses and luxury coach operations, loud acoustic voice alarms can cause unnecessary panic, distress, or complaints among passengers. By connecting the optional Vibration Cushion (MR810-VC) to the MR810 I/O port, the system can trigger physical seat vibrations to wake the drowsy driver immediately while suppressing or muting the spoken alert, maintaining a quiet and safe passenger environment.
How are alarm sensitivities and vehicle speed thresholds calibrated?
MR810 features a built-in Wi-Fi access point (AP mode). Installation technicians connect directly to the MR810 Wi-Fi using the dedicated smartphone mobile APP. Through the APP, technicians can view real-time camera alignment overlay guides, adjust alarm sensitivity tiers, configure speed thresholds (e.g., only activate fatigue warnings above 30 km/h via built-in GPS), set alert volumes, and export event video clips with zero cellular data consumption.
What are the evaluation sample lead times and factory warranty terms?
AlwayCare maintains ready stock of evaluation sample units, dispatching orders of 1–20 sets within 3–4 business days via express air courier. All MR810 units are backed by our 15-month direct factory warranty and manufactured in our IATF 16949-certified facility in Guangzhou, with dedicated FAE engineering support for APP calibration and telematics protocol integration.
