Replay clips

Roles: Dashcam Fleet Manager; Safety Manager

Note: Replay will have limited functionality for those Dashcams under the EROAD Clarity Locate service plan.

Replay is your portal for video clips captured by EROAD camera-enabled hardware. Normally these video events are automatically captured depending on detected events. Drivers may manually trigger events, and MyEROAD users may request video clips based on time and vehicle references.

EROAD Dashcams start operating on vehicle ignition. The device starts continuously recording to internal memory, but when an 'event' occurs, the 10-second periods before and after the event are bundled into a 20s clip and uploaded to the cloud via cellular network.

An event could be one of the following:

  • Harsh Acceleration
  • Sharp Cornering
  • Harsh Braking
  • Manual Trigger

Request status

A video’s request status is indicated with a colored icon in its own column.
 
Pending: The video was requested, and will be/is being uploaded to MyEROAD when the dashcam is in coverage.
To review: The video is available for review, annotation, and download. 
Reviewed: The requested video has been retrieved and reviewed. Click into the video to download it to your local machine.
Pending processing: The requested video is pending and should be available soon.
Failed, video overwritten: The requested video has been overwritten by the time of the request.
Failed, Error processing: A requested video failed to upload, due to an unexpected error.

More (...) Status assignment

Each clip has a vertical 'more' ellipsis (...) on the right, allowing you to assign each clip a status.

Clip status is provided as a toolset companies may use in the construction of their own incident response criteria. These statuses aren't required by law, nor have any legal standing unto themselves. With the one exception of 'Mark as Restricted', they're there to assist in categorising and sorting your clips; nothing more.

Bulk Actions

Each Replay row begins with a checkbox. Selecting multiple checkboxes allows you to tag multiple clips with a new status using the Bulk actions button.

Page select checkbox

The list header also has a checkbox to auto-select downloaded, viewable clips on that page. Click to Page select listed clips.

Note: The Page select checkbox only affects the currently-viewed list. Navigating to following or previous pages deselects all checkboxes. Before navigating away from selected clips, ensure you perform your Bulk action.

Mark as Restricted

Almost inevitably, the dashcam will record an event that:

  1. contains graphic, mortal imagery, which may impact on the mental wellbeing of people unprepared to view these events, or;
  2. contains legally or ethically confidential material, that requires authoritative oversight before being released to a wider audience.

Anyone with Replay permissions may mark any clip as Mark as Restricted. Once marked, only Client Administrators may view the clip, or unrestrict it within the event view.

Request video

You may request a clip from a video-enabled Dashcam's memory, whether the requested period contains an event or not.

Clips may be successfully uploaded if:

  • the Dashcam was on to record the requested period
  • the requested period has not already been overwritten don't the dashcam's SD card memory
  • the Dashcam wasn't re-provisioned/ re-assigned to a new vehicle during the requested period.

Hyperlapse video

Hyperlapsed video compresses and speeds up longer duration video clips, allowing Dashcam Safety and Fleet managers to review long driving segments while keeping data costs down.

Hyperlapse videos are compressed on the Clarity unit on-request, so upload times are likely to take longer to push to Replay.

Note: Currently, Hyperlapse is not supported for customers on the Clarity Get plan.

  1. Click Request video. A modal window pops up.
  2. Fill in/ select the appropriate details.
  3. Select the length/ quality of your clip. If video was captured within 6 hours of your selected time, it will appear in the timeline
