This set of improvements to GO Focus Plus and Video Coaching in MyGeotab focuses on providing more granular settings and intelligent automation to help you manage your video telematics more effectively:

• Customizing data retention settings: You can now define data retention periods independently for the camera and the cloud. This allows fleets to meet strict on-device storage requirements while maintaining long-term access to critical event footage in the cloud.
• Protecting driver privacy with automatic blurring: To help build driver trust and meet global compliance standards, fleets can now automatically blur faces and license plates on both in-cabin and road-facing cameras.
• Escalating smart rules for better coaching: This update distinguishes between minor incidents and persistent patterns of non-compliance. By empowering drivers to self-correct behaviors before an event is logged, you can reduce noise from low-value incidents and focus coaching on repeat offenders.
• Protecting vehicle batteries with Winter Mode: To reduce vehicle no-starts, a new "Deep Sleep" mode activates after 72 hours of parking. The camera reduces power consumption by approximately 90% to protect the battery and automatically wakes up when movement is detected.
• Strengthening security with SD card tampering detection: New signals now monitor SD card presence. If a card is removed while the camera is powered, the system generates a dedicated tampering event to alert management.

These enhancements are designed to simplify the management of video data while prioritizing driver relations and vehicle health. By offering independent retention settings and privacy blurring, fleets can easily navigate regional legal requirements. Furthermore, Smart Rules Escalation and Winter Mode help managers spend less time on "noise" and maintenance, and more time improving fleet safety.

These updates are available immediately to all users globally.
