Camera Events

View, filter, and manage all recorded safety events with video or snapshot captures from your fleet’s camera system.

Camera Events

The Camera Events page displays a list of all recorded safety events detected by your camera system. Each event includes details such as Event Type, Date, Event Capture (Snapshot or Video), Driver, Equipment Number, and Equipment Type.


Navigation:

To access the settings for this feature:

Go to: Fleet > Driver Safety > Camera Events


Filters and Settings

At the top of the page, use the search bar to locate a specific event. The left and right arrows beside the month and year allow you to navigate between months. A Total Events graph above the list shows how many events were recorded over the selected time period, so you can spot spikes at a glance.

Accessing Settings & Filters

To manage your view, click the Filter (upside-down triangle) icon located in the top-right corner. This opens the filters and settings panel where you can toggle equipment visibility. Once you apply filters, each active filter appears as a small “chip” near the top of the page. Click the X on a chip to clear that one filter, or use Clear All to remove every filter at once.

Selecting Monthly from the Settings dropdown determines the time period shown in the event list. Choose Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, or Custom dates.

You can also use the Filters panel to narrow your results by Event Type, Equipment, Equipment Type, or Driver.

Note: Event Type: Camera Obstructed, Distraction, Fatigue, Forward Collision Warning, Harsh Breaking, Harsh Cornering, Impact, Lane Departure, Manual Event, Phone Use Detected, Rolling Stop, Speed Camera Violation, Stop & Go, Tailgating, and Unfastened Seatbelt.

Note: The Event Types will display on the GPS Transmission Activity report under column header "Reason for Update"


Reviewing Videos and Snapshots

To review a video or snapshot, click on an event from the Camera Events list. This opens the Videos & Snapshots window. Press the play button to watch both the forward-facing and driver-facing camera views at the same time. At the bottom of the page, use the Back and Next buttons to cycle through each camera view — starting with the driver-facing view, followed by the outward-facing camera.


To access additional options for the video:

  1. Locate the three dots in the bottom right corner of the first video.

  2. Click the dots to open a menu with the following actions:

    • Download

    • Playback Speed: Adjust the speed to 0.5x, 0.75x, Normal (Default), 1.25x, or 1.5x.

    • Picture in Picture: Open the recorded event in a new, separate playback window.


Tap the X in the top left corner to close the window when finished. At the top right of the screen, you’ll see a download icon that allows you to save the video or snapshot to your device.


Camera Recording and Storage FAQ

Q: How far back can I view video recordings if an event wasn't triggered?

A: You can access and view video recordings and snapshots for up to 180 days. While the system maintains a permanent record of media IDs in the database, the actual video files are stored on VisionMax servers for this six-month window.


Technical Details to Keep in Mind:

  • Continuous vs. Event Recording: The 180-day retention period applies to both event-triggered clips and general footage.

  • On-the-Fly Retrieval: When you view historical footage, the system pulls the media directly from the server via API in real-time.

  • Long-term Storage: If you need to retain specific footage for liability reasons (such as a car accident or legal documentation) beyond the 180-day window, you must download the video and store it locally on your own device or server.
