This page is a step-by-step overview of the Camera Events page on the RoscoLive add-on for MyGeotab.
Locate and select the Camera Events menu option within MyGeotab.
The first tab on this page is the Daily Events page, the second is Flagged Events which is covered in a later section.
Events from all of the cameras within the fleet will appear on this page ordered the latest event first.
To narrow the results further, a filter can be applied by selecting the desired filters from the Filters drop-down menu.
Selected filters appear light blue, while deselected ones appear dark blue. By default, all filters are deselected. When a filter option is selected, only results matching the search criteria and filter setting will appear in the list.
The events are by default sorted by date and time in descending order. If you would like to order the events by a different criteria, select the down arrow next to Sort Filter button to reveal a drop-down menu of options of sort criteria.
Once the desired camera event is located, it will look similar to this:
The date and time the event occurred is displayed to the left.
NOTE: The time displayed next to the event is displayed in the timezone you are in when accessing the website. If the camera is in a different timezone than you are, expect to see that difference when reviewing the video of the event.
The data displayed with all events is the following:
There are four options for reviewing the event.
NOTE: Depending on the rule settings, some options may not be available for the selected event.
The options for reviewing the event are from, left to right:
When this option is selected, the View Snapshot window will appear. This window will display the snapshots taken from the time the event occured.
The numbers seen on the bottom of the window can be selected to view the snapshot from each channel available.
When this option is selected, the Advanced Window Player will appear.
This player will display all channels available in a quad-view format. If a channel has audio enabled, the audio can be isolated by clicking on the camera view in the player for that channel. A few other features to note:
When this option is selected, the event video file will be downloaded in .nvr format to your computer. This file format must be played back using the DV-Pro5 player.
Note: The browser used in this picture is Google Chrome. The download notification may differ between different browsers.
Selecting this will flag the event and it will be available in the Flagged Event tab. A flagged event will have a solid-yellow star icon. To un-flag an event, simply select the star icon to toggle it back. More information about flagged events and the Flagged Event tab is available in a later section.
To view a non-exception related video clip, a Custom Video Request must be made.
Locate the Custom Video Request button at the top of the page and select it to drop down the custom video request window.
Select the desired vehicle, date and time, and desired length of the video clip. Text can be added in the Note field for any pertinent information regarding the video clip. After entering the relevant information, select Request Video.
After the request has been submitted, a confirmation will appear at the top right corner of the page that the custom video request was successful. The custom video request will now appear on the Camera Events Page. Note that the event type is custom.
Whenever the vehicle is within network connectivity, the server will request the custom video from the camera and then the video will be uploaded to the Camera Events page for viewing. If the vehicle is not within network range or otherwise not connecting to the server, the video request will be queued until the vehicle comes back online and then the request will be sent.
If more than one video request is desired, click Add Video1). This will add an additional field to request another custom video. The Add Video button can be selected multiple times to add more request fields to the list. To remove a request from the list, select the dash button located to the right of each request2). After all requests are entered, select Request Video3) to send off the requests.
The Flagged Events page is located on the Camera Events page by selecting the tab at the top left of the page.
The Flagged Events page is a place where you can come and review all of the events that you have flagged without having to search for them in the Daily Events page.
Notice that this page is very similar to the Daily Events page. You may still search by vehicle or driver name and use the Sort By filter at the top of this page, however some things are absent like the date selector. This page by default displays the events in descending chronological order.
When an event is flagged from the Daily Events page it will look similar to this:
It will then be available for review on the Flagged Events page. If you wish to un-flag an event, it can be done from either the Daily Events page or the Flagged Events page. When you do so, the event will be removed from the Flagged Events page, this does not delete the event, it simply removes it from the page. It is still available for review in the Daily Events page.
