View live video from Vehicles

Once a dashcam has been assigned to a vehicle defined in the MyGeotab system, you can view the front and rear cameras from the vehicles in real-time. You can view the live stream from the Map or the Surfsight® Vehicles list.

The road-facing lens streams up to twenty four frames per second. The in-cab lens streams fifteen frames per second.

Note

The vehicle must be turned on and the dashcam must be online to stream live video.

To view live video from Vehicles:

Note

In order to manage bandwidth, audio does not play when live streaming.

  1. From the Surfsight® add-in, go to the Vehicles area.

    vehicles_findVehiclesArea

  2. Select the Live Stream drop-down next to the vehicle you want to view. 

    Note

    If the Live Stream drop-down is greyed out and not accessible, the vehicle is not turned on or the relevant camera is not online.

    A list of all the AI-12 dashcam cameras connected to the relevant vehicle opens in a dropdown menu.

    Note

    For OrderNow customers who have reached their monthly live stream limit, a notification appears by the Live Stream dropdown menu.

  3. Select the camera you want to view.

    Note

    If auxiliary cameras are enabled for the vehicle, they also appear as a live stream option.

    Note

    You can view multiple cameras at the same time as well.

    Tip

    Bandwidth constraints limit the ability to stream live video from different camera lenses at the same time. It is recommended not to live stream all videos at once, especially if streaming from more than two camera lenses.
