Video Telematics

What is Video Telematics?

Video telematics represents a powerful fusion of video technology and telematics solutions. It includes features such as GPS tracking, vehicle diagnostics, and fleet management functionalities. This integration enhances fleet monitoring, safety, and overall efficiency.

How Video Telematics Works?

Video telematics involves the installation of cameras or video recording devices in vehicles. These devices capture real-time footage, including Driver Monitoring System (DMS) and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) views of the vehicle. This video data is then combined with other telematics data, including location, speed, and various vehicle performance metrics.

The Purpose of Video Telematics.

The primary objective of video telematics is to empower fleet managers with valuable insights into driver behaviour, road conditions, and potential incidents. This technology plays an important role in:

• Monitoring driver performance.
• Identifying risky driving behaviours (e.g., distracted driving, speeding, harsh braking).
• Investigating accidents or incidents.
• Providing constructive feedback to drivers.

This footage can be accessed and analyzed in real-time or saved for later review, offering flexibility and convenience.

How to Configure the Camera Parameters on Object

• Log in to your account.

  • Choose the Number of Channels based on the specific configuration of your device.
  • Channel Name: Choose and specify the names for each channel.
  • ADAS: Enable this option to configure the ADAS channel. Select the channel connected to the ADAS camera and choose the ADAS events for which the platform should receive video clips from the device.
  • DMS: Enable this option to configure the DMS channel. Select the channel connected to the DMS camera and choose the DMS events for which the platform should receive video clips from the device.
  • Duration: Specify the duration of the video clip to be received before and after the selected event, provided the device supports configurable event durations.
  • Intercom: Enable this option to use the device's two-way communication feature.
  • Snapshots: Enable this option to capture images, provided the device supports the Snapshot feature.
  • Copy From: Select a vehicle to copy its camera configuration.
  • Enable Audio: Enable this option to make audio available during the live feed and display the Audio button.

Ways to Access Video Telematics Data

1. Widgets:

   Widgets are small components that display essential video telematics data. You'll find these widgets located on the Tooltip on the Live Tracking Screen.

   Example:

   Using the Camera Activity widget, the user can view the snapshots and the live streaming and can also request the media.

   
   Using the ADAS widget, users can access a comprehensive overview of all ADAS events associated with the vehicle.

   
   Using the DMS widget, users can access a comprehensive overview of all DMS events associated with the vehicle.

   

2. Object List Settings:

   The user can view the Live Streaming, Snapshots, and History Video Playback of the vehicles from the 'Object' tab located on Live Tracking.

   

3. Events:

   Video Telematics alerts generate events that can be viewed through the 'Events' tab on the Playback screen. This tab provides details related to the incidents or actions that have occurred.

   Example:

   
   

4. Image Gallery Tab:

   The 'Image Gallery' tab on the Playback screen allows users to view recordings of events that have taken place. This visual representation provides insights into incidents.

   Example:

   

5. Reports:

   Video Telematics data can be structured into reports based on the events that have occurred. These reports offer an overview of your fleet's performance and incidents.

   Example:

   Warning Report:
   In the Warning Report, the details of all the ADAS and DMS violations that have occurred are shown.
   Navigate from Reports > Video Telematics > Warning Report to access the Warning Report.

   
   
   Media Gallery Report:
   In the Media Gallery Report, the Snapshots, Videos and Events can be viewed of a selected vehicle in a specific time frame.
   Navigate from Reports > Video Telematics > Media Gallery to access the Media Gallery Report.
