Geotab Trip Mapping Video Recall Integration
The Request Video Add-In allows users to request camera footage directly from the Geotab Trips History map. To install, Administrators add the add-in under System > Settings > Add-Ins, replace the configuration text, and upload the provided requestvideo.zip file. Once installed, users can click any point on a trip’s map to open the Request Video panel, confirm the date/time, select a video duration, and submit the request. Requested videos will then appear in the VideoProtects > Video Recalls page for review. This tool streamlines video retrieval, improving fleet safety oversight and Event investigation.

Selecting Request Video will open the Request a Video panel on the right side of the screen. The date and time of the request will match the point selected on the map. Simply select the desired duration of the video and click the Request Video button.
