What is the Vision AI Seat Shaker?

The Seat Shaker is a hardware accessory that pairs with the Vision AI dashcam and vibrates the driver's seat alongside the standard audio alert, for a stronger, harder-to-miss response to alarms like fatigue or distraction.

What does the Seat Shaker do?

When the dashcam raises a configured alarm, for example fatigue or distraction, the Seat Shaker vibrates the seat at the same time as the standard audio alert, adding a physical cue alongside the sound. It doesn't replace the audio alert — the two work together as a multi-sensory alert.

How does the Seat Shaker work?

It installs discreetly under the driver's seat and is wired directly to the Vision AI dashcam, so it needs no separate power source. It's configured entirely on the device — there are no changes to make in the Argus platform to use it. Any alarm type configured on the Vision AI dashcam can trigger the Seat Shaker.

Who uses the Seat Shaker, and when would I use it?

Fleets that want a stronger response to fatigue and distraction alarms use it, particularly in noisy cabs where an audio-only alert can be missed, or where a faster driver response matters most.

What do I need to use the Seat Shaker?

A Vision AI dashcam with the Seat Shaker accessory fitted and wired to it.

How do I get started with the Seat Shaker?

Since it's configured entirely on the device, there's nothing to set up in Argus — once it's installed and wired to your Vision AI dashcam, it triggers automatically alongside any alarm the camera raises. For hardware installation, contact Argus support.
