Video Events
The Video Events page in VideoProtects serves as the central hub for reviewing, filtering, and managing all recorded Video Events. Users can filter Events by Driver, Vehicle, Event Type, Status, or Date Range, as well as flag, export, or switch between Grid and List Views for easier navigation. From each Event, users can play, score, flag, dismiss, or delete videos, with options for expanded details and bulk actions for efficiency. Events without a Driver Assignment may appear as “Unknown Driver” but can be manually updated. This page ensures streamlined monitoring, evaluation, and management of fleet Video data.
To start, go to the Add-Ins > VideoProtects menu and select Video Events.
Video Events Filters/Navigation
By default, the Video Events Landing Page displays the current day’s Video Events for all Event Types, Drivers, Vehicles, and Events in Statuses other than Completed and Dismissed. In the top selection bar, you can update the Event Type, Driver, Vehicle, Event Status, Score, Flag, and Start/End Date filters to find specific Events. You can also filter for Flagged videos, export a list of the Video Events, and change your page view.
Event Type
By default, all Event Types are selected. You can select/deselect all or specific Events from the drop-down.
Click here to view definitions of the various Event Types that can be detected: Video Event Types
Driver
By default, all Drivers' Video Events are shown in the Video Events main screen. Search for a Driver or choose a Driver from the dropdown to view their specific Video Event data. Enabling the Include Inactive toggle will add inactive Drivers to the list for selection.
NOTE: If a Driver is assigned to a vehicle in the Geotab > Vehicles & Assets page, that Driver will automatically be assigned to Events triggered by the camera paired to that vehicle in the VideoProtects > Device Association page. Otherwise, Events will appear under “Unknown Driver” by default.
See the Bulk Actions section below or the Video Event Details page for instructions on how to manually update the driver of an Event.
Vehicle
By default, all vehicles are shown in the Video Events main screen. Search for a vehicle or choose a vehicle from the dropdown to view the specific Video Event data for that vehicle.
To include/filter by inactive vehicles, click the Include Inactive toggle.
You can also search by camera serial number here. The camera serial number associated with the vehicle is displayed to the right in gray.
Event Status
To view Events in specific Statuses, click the dropdown to display the Event Status options. You can select to view more than one type of Event Status.
(By default, Completed and Dismissed Events are omitted from the results.)
Event Status Definitions:
- New: A Video Event that has not been watched or shared.
- In Progress: A Video Event that has been watched by at least one user.
- Sent to Driver: A Video Event that has been shared and not accepted or disputed yet.
- Driver Accepted: A Video Event that has been shared and accepted by recipient.
- Driver Disputed: A Video Event that has been shared and disputed by recipient.
- No Response: A Video Event that has been shared and recipient has not responded in 12+ hours.
- Completed: A Video Event that was marked complete after an action was taken.

Score
Select this filter to display only events with specific score(s) or no score.
Flag
Use this filter to display only Flagged or Unflagged events.
Start and End Date
The Video Events page defaults to displaying today’s Video Events. Use the Start/End date filters to instead view the “Last 14 Days”, “Last 30 Days”, or select a specific date range.
Export
Here you can export a list of the filtered Video Events into a CSV file.
Grid View vs. List View
You can view the Video Events in a Grid or List format.
Video Event Actions - Grid View
The Grid View displays Video Events in a tile/card format where you can view, score, flag, dismiss, and delete the video. First, click the Grid button in the top right of the Filters bar.
You can take the following actions on each Event tile:
|
Play Video: Hover over the video thumbnail and click the Play button.
|
Score Video Event: Click the ellipsis menu in the bottom right corner of the tile and select Score to score the event. See Scoring Video Events for more information.
|
|
Flag Video Event: The Flag icon will allow you to flag an Event to review it later.
|
Dismiss Video Event: If a Video Event has been triggered that is not a viable Event, it can be Dismissed via the Dismiss option in the ellipsis menu.
|
|
Delete Video Event: The Delete option on the ellipsis menu will allow you to delete the Video Event. Confirm the deletion. If you delete the video in error, click Undo Delete; this will not be visible after you exit the pop-up, and videos are irretrievable once deleted.
|
Expanded Event Details View: To view the Video Event full screen, click the arrows located in the lower right corner of the thumbnail video. An expanded view of the Video Events will display, along with additional Event information.
|
Video Event Actions - List View
In List View, you can score, dismiss, or delete each individual Video Event by using the ellipsis menu on the right.
Events can be flagged in List View by clicking the icon in the Flag Status column.
Click on the Event to open a detailed, expanded view. (See Video Event Details for more information on actions you can take on the Details page.)
Bulk Actions
To perform actions in bulk (ie. Assigning a Driver, Scoring, Dismissing, Deleting), check the box next to the Events to apply the same action to all.
For information on actions you can take on a specific Video Event's Details page, see: Video Event Details
