Video Recall
Because the video camera continuously records video while the vehicle ignition is on, the Video Recall function gives 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 was triggered by the system.
To access, go to the Video tab in the left hand menu and select Recalls.

View Recalled Videos
There are two ways to view previously recalled videos: directly in the Video Recalls tab, or within Video Events if they were promoted to a video event.
View in Video > Recalls Tab
The videos you have recalled will populate in the recalled videos screen, given that there were video events available in the specified timeframe. You can filter to select specific vehicles and start/end dates.
Note: When filtering the Time column, both To and From must have a value selected.
View in Video Events Tab
Navigate to the Video Events page from the VideoProtects side menu. Change the Event filter to view just Promoted Video Recall events, and enter the Start and End Date values to view the recalled video/s within a desired timeframe.
- See Promoting a Recalled Video for more information.
Request/Recall a Video
To request/recall a video, click Request Video located at the top right of the Video Recalls page.
It is important to know the date of the event and the approximate time the event occurred. Identify the vehicle, event date, event time, and duration to pull footage from before/after the selected event time. (A total of 2 minutes of footage could be retrieved.) Click Confirm when finished.
Note: The camera must be Online for the request to process. If the camera is not powered On within 7 days of your request, or if your request is Pending for 7 days or longer for any reason, please try again. 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.
When the video recall request has been processed, it will populate on the Video Recalls page. Note: You may need to use the filters at the top (by date or vehicle, etc.) in order to find the specific recalled video.
