Encompass Video Recalled Videos

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

Because the video camera continuously records video while the vehicle ignition is on, the Video Recall function provides the ability to recall video at any specific time that the camera was recording. This is useful when a user wants to review video footage when an actual video event has not been triggered by the system.

Viewing Recalled Videos

There are two ways to view previously recalled videos: directly in the Video Recall tab, or within Video Events.

 

View in Video Recall Tab

Recalled videos will populate in the Video Recall screen based on the selected Vehicle/Date filters (1). The Start/End date filters will default to display the past 30 days of recalls. You can select different parameters by using the calendars to select a specific date range (2). Videos can be viewed in a Grid or List format (3).

View in Video Events Tab

When a Video Recall has been promoted to a Video Event via the Promote action, it can then be viewed in the Video Events page.

Navigate to the Video Events page from the Video menu.

Change the Event filter to view just Video Recall events and enter the Start and End Date values to view the recalled video(s) within a desired timeframe.

Request/Recall a Video

To recall a video within the Video Recall screen, use the Request a Video panel to select the vehicle, the event date, and the time and duration of the video recall.

  • The Time entered should be the same time/timezone in which the event occurred.
  • A combined total of 2 minutes of video is available for recall. Select the minutes/seconds of footage you would like to see before the selected time, and the minutes/seconds of footage after the selected time, combining for a total of up to 2 minutes.

Note: You may want to submit 2-3 requests for different timeframes to ensure you are able to find the portion of the video you need.

Once all information has been entered, click the “Request Video” button.

A message will appear saying “Video Recall has been requested” and the recall request will appear as “Pending” on the Video Recall page until it is fully processed. If the vehicle is currently powered on, the video will be retrieved soon. If the vehicle is not powered on, the video will be retrieved when it is powered back on.

 

 !  If the vehicle is currently powered on and the camera is online (ie. has power and a network connection), the video recall should process within about 15-20 minutes.(Time may vary due to cell connection and network speed).

If the vehicle is off and/or the camera is offline (ie. unplugged/experiencing network issues), the video will process when the camera is back online. NOTE: The video recall request will timeout if the camera does not come online after 7 days from the time of the request.

The Vehicles drop-down of the Video Recall request panel includes an indicator for cameras that are currently Online.

To check the current status of the camera, go to Video > Configuration > Device Associations and locate the Connection Status column.

If a camera is currently online, the Date selector on the Recall Request panel will indicate the earliest date of video existing on the SD card.

Note: Video Recalls can also be initiated from the Video > Configuration > Device Associations page by clicking the Request Video button beside the applicable camera/vehicle pairing.

Video Recall Actions

In the Video Recall page, there are several actions you can take with a recalled video.

The Promote button will “promote” a recalled video into the same workflow of a generated event where it can be analyzed, scored, flagged, or sent to the driver for review. The Download button allows the user to download the first channel of video to their local device. The Delete Video Recall button removes the video from the recalled videos list.

 

Hover over the video card and click the Play button to watch a snippet of the video. Click the double arrows to expand your screen to view all video channels and recall details.

On the Event Details page, you can play/download all channels of videos and view other details such as date, time, status, ID, and comments.  Location information is not available for recalls.

Check the Request Status of a Recalled Video

On the Video Recall page via the Grid view, Pending or Failed requests will include a Status message in place of the video preview. Completed videos will display a thumbnail and a status badge of either New (video has not been watched) or In Progress (video has been watched by at least one user).

clipboard_e2605c4dff7bf80cf6f8a9144bf51cbe5.png

In the List view, the request status can be seen in the Request Status column.
