Video events

The Video Events page gives you an overview of your fleet's camera activity.

Note: This feature is available for GO Focus Plus cameras only.

You review all your camera-related data on the Video Events page in MyGeotab.

The page is organized into three tabs:

The Events tab shows all detected events with video data.
The Cameras tab shows all installed cameras and their statuses. It allows you to view the events captured by a particular camera.
The Trips tab shows all recorded trips for vehicles with cameras.

You can view the Video Events page by navigating to Video > Video Events in the main menu.

Events tab

The Events tab on the Video Events page helps identify driving behavior patterns in your fleet by showing all video events in one place.

The Events tab on the Video Events page shows all events identified by cameras in your database. It's designed with filters that allow you to quickly find the key data points you need to identify trends and risk patterns across your fleet.

Note: The Events tab shows only the recorded events that you have permission to view in MyGeotab. Video events associated with drivers or assets in groups you don't have access to will not be displayed.

Event filters

The following filters are available on the Events tab of the Video Events page to help you quickly locate the data you need.


Filter	Effect
Asset	View events recorded by a particular asset.
Driver	View events associated with a particular driver.
Rules	View events triggered by a particular rule.
Date	View events that occurred during a specified time period. You can use a preselected time period (today, last 7 days, last 30 days) or select a custom time period.
Product	View events recorded by a particular type of camera in your fleet.
High magnitude only	View events that have been marked as serious based on our internal proprietary scoring algorithm. The algorithm considers factors such as time to collision, time of day, driver head position, and eye movement to assess the overall seriousness of the event.
Repeat offenders	View events associated with repeat offenders. Drivers are sorted into three categories: Compliant drivers (only one recorded event), Safe drivers (Few events), and Repeat offenders (drivers who repeat the same events consistently).

Viewing event previews

Learn how to view event previews on the Video Events page in MyGeotab.

Event previews are clips that automatically show you the most important parts of an event recording.

Navigate to Video > Video Events in the main menu.
Select the Events tab.
Hover over an event to automatically play the event preview.

The event preview plays on loop until you move your cursor away from the video thumbnail.

Filtering rules by custom thresholds

Learn how to set specific thresholds for rules to filter your events in MyGeotab.

Setting a custom threshold for a rule can help you filter your video recordings to pinpoint particular driver behaviors. For example, you can set a threshold for the tailgating rule to events where drivers tailgated for more than 10 seconds.

All rules in the Critical, ADAS, and DMS categories in the Rules dropdown support custom thresholds.

Navigate to Video > Video Eventsin the main menu.
Open the Rules dropdown menu and select the rule you want to view events for.
Click the More options menu to open the custom thresholds options.
Note: If custom thresholds are not available for a rule, the More options icon will not appear when you select the rule from the list.
Set your custom thresholds.
For example, if you select the tailgating rule, set the threshold condition dropdown to Duration. Then set the operator dropdown to Greater than or equal and the time field to 10 s. This will set a custom threshold that limits the rule to recorded tailgating events that lasted ten seconds or longer.
Note: Different rules display different threshold options.
Click Apply.
In the original dropdown list, click Apply again.

The page automatically updates to show events matching your selected filters.

Using the Custom Combination filter

Learn how to use the custom combination filter to combine two video rules to filter your events in MyGeotab.

The Custom Combination filter lets you combine rules to examine driving patterns more closely. For example, you can combine the rules for phone use and near collisions to determine how often phone usage is associated with an increased risk of collision.

Navigate to Video > Video Events in the main menu.
Open the Rules dropdown menu and select + Custom Combination.
Select the two rules you want to combine using the dropdown menus.
Specify whether the first rule is triggered Before or While (during) the second rule.
Click Publish.
Click Apply.

The page automatically updates to show events matching your selected filters.

Tamper detection events

MyGeotab supports multiple forms of dashcam tamper detection events to help you keep your cameras secure.

MyGeotab records dashcam tampering as a video event. The following types of tampering are detected and recorded:

I/O cover removal
Dashcam dismounting
SD card removal

You can filter the Video Events page to show all tampering events by selecting the tamper rules from the Rules dropdown. You can also set your cameras to chime or provide a voice alert in-cab when tampering is detected.
