Troubleshooting: Surfsight® add-in for MyGeotab

The following table suggests solutions for issues that may arise when working from the Surfsight Portal:

Issue/question

Possible cause

Suggested solution/explanation

I'm only receiving Surfsight® events and not MyGeotab events.

The relevant rules to trigger MyGeotab events aren't enabled.

In the Surfsight® add-in, you have the option to determine from which device the video events will be triggered - from the AI-12 dashcam, the MyGeotab GO Device, or both. The Video Rules tab of the add-ins controls the video events that are triggered by the GO Device and the Camera Rules in the Vehicles tab control the video events that are triggered by the dashcam.

Make sure that the correct video rules are enabled to trigger the video events from the GO Device (MyGeotab events).

I can't find MyGeotab risky driving events

The relevant rules to see dangerous driving events are not enabled.

Check your MyGeotab Exceptions to see if the rules are enabled. Rules that are enabled in the MyGeotab Exceptions will be available to turn on or off in the Video Rules tab in theSurfsight® add-in. Also, check that your GO Device service package includes Exception Rules.
