Camera status
Camera statuses provide valuable information in MyGeotab about your camera’s connectivity and functionality, helping you monitor the devices in your fleet for issues.
The Camera Status column on the Cameras page allows you to monitor camera behavior in your fleet to identify devices that are behaving as expected, need attention, or not working. When issues are detected, the system provides you with clear, detailed information about the problem and when it was detected.
You can view camera statuses by navigating to the Assets page in the main menu and selecting the Cameras tab. You can also view details about your cameras’ health in the Cameras report, under the Health status details column. You can access the report under the Reports dropdown at the top of the page.
