Commercial Videos can now be a source of income. You can sell advertising space on your Auto Sentry to local businesses to play during your In-bay Wash Busy state.

The Auto Sentry can automatically play more than one video consecutively and seamlessly for your customers who are waiting while your wash is busy.  After all the Wash Busy Commercial videos have played, the screen displays the Wash Busy stop sign. 

To activate the video, the video must be an AVI formatted file of 702 (width) x 473 (height) pixels and placed in the following directory \ICS\AVIFiles.

Naming Convention:  WashBusyCommercialx.avi  x = the numbered order that the video will play at the Wash Busy state.

As soon as the Wash Busy Videos are saved in the WashConnect® directory, they are automatically enabled and will play until you remove or replace the files from the directory.  These videos play in the numbered order you have saved the files. There is no setting for the Wash Busy Video in WashConnect®.

You may want your videos to play in a continuous loop, meaning after the videos play through to the end that they begin playing again until the wash is available. There is not a setting for this, but the workaround is as follows: calculate the average wash busy wait time. If you have five videos saved with the numbers 1-5 to order the file names, then copy those files and rename the video file names replacing 1-5 with the numbers 6-10.  If you need to fill the wait time even more, then you can copy them again and label the files 11-15.
