The Device Overview screen is shown when you connect to a device. You will see some information about the device such as device name, signal strength (top left), battery level (top right) and a photo of the device.


The Device Overview screen contains the following sections:

  • Device configuration - Tap the ellipsis (⋮) in the top-right corner, then select 'Configure' to access device settings, including nickname, firmware version, disk formatting, and cache management.

  • Record button - Puts the device into an armed/monitoring state

  • Disconnect button - Disconnects from the device in order to monitor for an event (devices won't be monitoring if they're connected via bluetooth

  • View sessions button - View events that have been recorded by the device

  • Edit settings button - Configure settings for a device such as sample rate, record mode, record time, record mode, G-settings, GPS, etc

  • Location map - sets/shows the GPS co-ordinates for the device.


Device configuration

After tapping the elipsis (3 dots) in the top right corner, you'll see a 'Configure' option - tap on that to open the device configuration page.

  • Under the details section you can now enter a new Nickname for your device (click the 'Update Nickname' button to save it.

  • Under the Firmware section you can set the current Firmware version (e.g. 5.1.2)

  • Under the Device Storage section you can see how much disk space is being used. Additionally, you can click the Format Disk button to wipe all of the files from the devices storage. It is recommended to reformat the disk periodically to reduce the risk of file corruption over time.

  • Under the App storage section you can wipe all files that have been cached on your phone by clicking the Clean Cache button.


Record button

Tap the Record button to start monitoring. The app will return to the Available Devices screen and display the device status in orange, saying either “...monitoring” (for ViB devices) or “waiting for trigger” (for VoD devices)


Disconnect button

VoD and ViB devices cannot monitor activity when a phone or tablet is connected. Click the Disconnect button to sever the bluetooth connection between the phone and the device.

NOTE: this does not turn off bluetooth on the phone or the device, it simply disconnects the two devices from each other.


View sessions button

On the Available Devices screen, an orange numbered icon will appear over a devices thumbnail photo when a new event has occurred.


Click on your device, then click on the View Sessions button. Here you'll see one or more sessions - each session may contain one or more events. The sessions show the date and time's associated with the events:

Click on a session and it will open into the Event view. You will now see an Upload button. Click the upload button if you'd like to upload that session to the server (so it can be viewed in the ShockAi platform).

After clicking the Upload button it will firstly copy the event files to your phone. Once completed, you'll be asked to specify which Organization and Project you'd like the files uploaded to (the Organization and Project need to be created before you can upload your data.

After the upload completes, you'll be prompted to Cleanup files? Tapping the Confirm button will delete the files from the device. Tapping cancel will keep the files on the device.

Additionally, it's possible to delete sessions from the Session View by swiping to the left and then tapping the Delete text that appears.


Edit settings button

To change settings for the device click on the Edit button which appears in the Device Settings section.

  • Set the Record Mode - Histogram or Waveform

  • Set the X, Y and Z thresholds for triggering an event.

  • Set the Sample rate from 1000, 2000, 4000

  • Set the recording time *(maximum recording time will depend on the Sample Rate you specified)

  • Set the G Range 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 40 *(the G Range capabilities will depend on which device you're using)

  • Set the Pre-trigger amount - this is the amount of pre-trigger data that will be saved with an event

  • Enable or disable the recording of GPS co-ordinates


Location & GPS settings

Most ShotTrack devices are equipped with GPS sensors. In addition to providing the event location, GPS is used to synchronise the internal clock with very high accuracy (+/- 50ns RMS)

In the Location section of the Device Overview screen, you can select Use my location to use the GPS location from your phone, or you can choose Enter manually to input the GPS coordinates yourself.

There's an additional toggle to turn GPS on or off located in the Device Settings section (tap the Edit button in the Settings section)

Note: GPS significantly increases battery usage. Enable it only when high-accuracy time synchronisation is required.

When a location is set, the map displays a marker indicating the selected position.

  • If you'd like to move the location of the marker, simply tap and hold it until it lifts slightly, then drag it to the desired position. Be sure to press directly on the marker and hold briefly so the action is recognised as moving the marker rather than panning the map.

  • To adjust the map scale use two fingers to pinch or stretch the map to zoom in or out.

  • To edit the location simply tap the Edit button and choose Use my location or Enter manually.
