How to Stream Live View from the Map

  • Updated

The Live View feature enables users to stream real-time video from a vehicle’s cameras. This functionality is available only for active devices. Users can switch between in-cabin and road-facing cameras for comprehensive visibility. 

Steps to Stream Live View

  1. Navigate to the Vehicle Details Panel by selecting a vehicle from the Vehicle List Panel.
  2. If the device is in Standby status, click the Wake Up button to send a wake-up command to the device.
  3. Locate the Live button in the Vehicle Details Panel.

  4. Choose the desired option from the dropdown menu, which includes:

    • Road Camera Image: Displays a still image from the road camera.
    • Cabin Camera Image: Displays a still image from the cabin camera.
    • Stream Road Camera: Starts a live video stream from the road camera.
    • Stream Cabin Camera: Starts a live video stream from the cabin camera.

    Once selected, the corresponding video or snapshot will appear on the screen.

Live View Streaming

Once you select either Stream Road Camera or Stream Cabin Camera from the dropdown menu, the live video stream will automatically begin.

  • The video will play for 30 seconds before stopping automatically.
  • To continue streaming, click the Play button again to request an additional 30 seconds of video.

For more details on controlling playback, refer to the article How to Use the Video Player.

Camera Snapshots

If you select Road Camera Image or Cabin Camera Image from the dropdown menu, a still image (snapshot) from the respective camera will be displayed in the Live View section.

  • The snapshot represents the most recent view from the selected camera.
  • A Refresh button appears in the upper-right corner of the snapshot display.
  • Clicking the Refresh button fetches an updated snapshot from the camera, providing the latest view.

Live View Overlay Details

The live view, including both video and still images, displays a bottom overlay with key information such as the current GMT time, device IMEI, speed, and GPS coordinates. This ensures accurate context and detailed insights for every recorded event.
