Video monitoring

Overview

The Navixy platform provides a comprehensive suite of video functionalities designed to enhance vehicle telematics systems, such as MDVRs and dashcams. This feature set allows users to access live video streams, review historical video footage, and analyze event-triggered videos.

1. Live stream monitoring — Allows real-time video monitoring from cameras, providing immediate visibility into current vehicle and driver activities.

2. Video playback — Enables you to access and review past video recordings stored on the device or in the cloud, useful for analyzing previous events and activities.

3. Event-triggered video recording — Captures and stores video footage automatically when specific events occur, such as accidents or harsh driving incidents, helping to understand the causes and context of these events.

These capabilities are essential for fleet managers seeking to improve safety, security, and operational efficiency. By utilizing Navixy's video functionalities, organizations can monitor driver behavior, investigate incidents, and ensure compliance with company policies and regulations.

Live stream monitoring

The live stream feature allows you to view the current situation from your dash cams or MDVR devices and their cameras in real time. Each camera on your device is represented as a channel, enabling you to monitor different perspectives such as the vehicle's interior and the road ahead.

To use the live stream feature, follow these steps:

1. Access the live stream: If the device is online, you will see the video icon. Click on this icon to start viewing the live stream.

2. Start the live stream: Press the Play button to initiate the live stream.

3. Use player controls: Utilize the player progress control to rewind and see what happened several minutes ago. To return to the real-time view, press the “Live” button.

4. Manage data usage: Video streaming consumes significant data traffic. To conserve bandwidth, the platform automatically stops the stream when you close the video window or navigate to another module. For most browsers, closing the tab will also stop the stream, though some browser extensions may interfere with this function.

Video playback

The playback feature in Navixy allows you to review historical video footage stored on your device or the platform. This is essential for analyzing past events, monitoring driver behavior, and investigating incidents.

To utilize the playback feature in Navixy, follow these steps:

1. Access the video module: Navigate to the video module by clicking on the video button.

2. Select the date: Open the date selection menu to choose the date for the video you want to review. The date selection interface will show:

   • Gray dot: Information is stored in the device's memory. To view the footage, the system needs to upload it from the device to the cloud.

   • Blue dot: Information is already stored in the cloud and can be played immediately.

   • No dot: No video is available for that day.

3. Pick a day and time: Select the desired day. You will then see a timeline for selecting specific hours to view the video.

4. Select video fragments: After choosing the time, a fragment line will appear. Select the necessary video fragments for playback. Be mindful of data usage when downloading fragments from the device to the cloud.

Event-triggered video recording

Event-triggered videos enable you to see what happened before and during a significant event. This functionality helps you understand the cause of incidents, such as accidents or harsh driving events, by providing visual context. This feature is available only on devices supporting such functionality.

Accessing event videos:

1. Event list: After an event occurs, a video icon will appear in the event list (it usually takes about 1-2 minutes for the video to upload from the device).

2. Events history: Alternatively, you can find your event in the events history.

Viewing event videos: Click on the video icon to watch the event video.

Player controls:

• Start / Pause: Start or pause the video playback.

• Restart: Reset the playback time for all channels.

• Audio: Adjust the volume and toggle the audio on/off.

• Download: Click the dots on the right to download the video.

While an event video is playing, you will see the device's movement on the right side of the video module, providing a comprehensive view of the event's context.
