Roles: Dashcam Fleet Manager; Dashcam Safety Manager
Note: Dashcams under the EROAD Clarity Locate service plan do not have access to this set of tools.
Event view
The Replay event view interface allows the playback of a selected video clip, and viewing common vehicle/ driver/ event data. A Replay event also contains a first-pass event management toolset.
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.
Main view: Video
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.
View select: Depending on org options, you may select Driver or Front viewing camera only, or Dual for both.
Contains a convenient selection of common options (see Event review).
Video: Tap to play. The views feature burned in UTC timestamps (local time is displayed under Event details). Playback controls appear after the video is tapped.
Request prev/ next video: Used to provide extra context around a particular event. This brings up the Video Request 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.
To see the vehicle's speed at any moment, move the video playback scrubber left or right.
Download: This shows a pop-up menu allowing you to select which video streams you may download to an MP4 file: Dual, Front and/or Driver.
-
The Driver and Front options download standard resolution files to your computer.
-
The "Dual" option merges both the Front and Driver views into a single 1280 x 360 pixel, side-by-side MP4 video file. It does NOT download both Front and Driver camera files as independent MP4 video files (if that's what's desired, please select each camera type).
The Dual option is best used for archiving purposes.
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.

Tags
Tags allow you to associate specific observations or events to the clip and are a handy way to collate events.
Tags are manually assigned by reviewers, and 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.
