Event view
Replay Event view allows the playback of a selected event, including all assigned camera feeds, speed and associated data. A Replay event also contains a first-pass event management toolset for downloads, coaching or initial incident reporting.
If the video area displays a "Video not available" message, the likely causes are:
- This is not a video-enabled dashcam.
- The event is recent. The event has been logged, but the Dashcam hasn't finished the upload.
- The event is stalled. The event has been logged, but the vehicle has been turned off or is out of cellular coverage. Once the vehicle is on and within coverage, the upload will continue.
View select: Depending on company-level options, you may view Multiview, Road camera, Driver camera, Fatigue, or a number of other views.
Names of these views may change depending on the how the org chooses to label them.
(...) Contains a convenient selection of common options (see Event review).
Tap video to play. Each view feature burned in UTC timestamps (local time is displayed under Event details). Playback controls appear after the video is tapped.
Under the main video window are status buttons you may use in creating our own event review process. Review statuses are persistent: they will appear beside the main event title, and in the Replay clips screen.
Get preceding/following 20s: Used to provide extra context around a particular event. This brings up the Request video dialog with pre-populated times filled in.
Speed graph: The Speed graph area assists in determining situation, speed, location, time and acceleration of the vehicle during the event.
Breaks within the graph may indicate temporary GPS loss, however this doesn’t affect video capture.
To see the vehicle's speed at any moment, move the video playback scrubber left or right.
Driver-facing video color
The driver-facing camera has an array of infrared (IR) LEDs around it. These ‘lights’ are low-intensity and not at all dangerous to people, even over long periods of time.
Driver-facing video is in color. However, different dashcams represent low light/no light conditions differently:
-
Clarity Dashcam uses a false-color representation: cooler materials and certain dyes appear pink.
-
Clarity Edge uses a monochrome representation: closer objects are lighter, distant objects are darker.
-
Clarity Edge Fatigue camera (optional) also uses a monochrome representation: close objects are light, distant objects are dark.
Download video
This shows a pop-up menu allowing you to select which video streams you may download to an MP4 file. Depending on the vehicle’s specific configuration, there may be a variety of options available.
- Driver camera, Road camera and Fatigue options download their respective MP4 video files to your computer.
- Accessory cameras (Clarity Edge only). Some vehicles will have video feeds from side, front or rear cameras.
Request full res video
To keep your data burden low, Replay event view presents “low-res” (but acceptable) versions of video clips to MyEROAD by default. But higher-resolution files are stored within the Clarity Edge unit, until they’re overwritten.
Tap Request full res video to select and request full resolution video clips. An email with a link to the Replay clip will be sent on completion.
Unlike the digital video feeds, the Accessory cameras are analog cameras. Their video streams are recorded internally to the Clarity Edge when triggered by events, but aren't automatically uploaded to the cloud for viewing within Replay.
Accessory camera events must be specifically requested from the Request video button, or the Get preceding/ following 20s links under the main video window.
Print page
Print page calls your workstation’s print spool and exports the page for PDF or print services.
The printing process differs from computer to computer: options for the printer, page ranges and layout or common.
Because the print layout is affected by your browser window, you may wish to adjust its width until you print preview window is acceptable.
Event details
The right side of the Event view displays basic reference data for first-pass event review.
Location/Time: GPS-derived location/time of the event.
Intensity: The measured force (if any) triggering the notification.
Trigger: The reason the event was brought into Replay. Commonly the reasons are ‘Requested’ if manually requested, or a triggered event.
Vehicle: Registration plate / vehicle details.
Dashcam: The dashcam model and service plan.
Driver: The vehicle driver.
The following links are only available on the MyEROAD platform, on subscription.
- View events log: Opens the trip inspector log.
- View service: This takes you to the vehicle's servicing schedule.
- View on map: Loads the Activity map and zooms in on the event location.
- User activity log: Opens the User activity log.
- View Logbook (NZL): You will be re-directed to the Driver's Logbook entries.
Tags
Tags allow you to associate specific observations or events to the clip and are a handy way to collate events. Tags may be auto-assigned by a device, or manually-assigned. They may be selected or deselected at any time.
All tag changes are logged in the User Activity Logs and is also available in the Replay events export.
Tags are intended as a coaching aid. Due to the nature of video, the limited field of view and the limited selection of possible listings, detected observations should not be taken as verified evidence, but as talking points safety managers may consider for future training.

Notes and Documents

Notes and Documents are intended as 'first draft' containers for incident management. They do not replace the need for an incident management report system.
