Data Monitoring

We've added a feature for better data monitoring across your fleet to help manage data costs and overages.

We've removed the data cap limit on the device basis and now all cameras in the fleet share from the total available data that the fleet is allocated for that billing cycle. This is called the Company Data Pool. The Company Data Pool is the amount of data available to be consumed by the cameras in the fleet for the billing cycle. Cameras can use as much data individually as they require so long as the total data usage remains at or below the Company Data Pool level. The data pool usage is then reset at the beginning of each billing cycle.

Data Usage Chart

There is now a Data Usage Chart on the Vehicles page that helps inform of how much data usage there is and how much of the data pool is remaining for that billing cycle.

The percentage value in the middle is the percent amount of data used and the value below that is the amount of data used. At the bottom of the card is the total data pool for the company.

If any cameras in the fleet use 30% or more of the total data pool before end of the billing cycle, a warning icon will appear in this chart to inform about this. Cameras consuming large amounts of the data pool may indicate there is some issue that is causing a high amount of data usage than normal and may need addressing before data overages start occurring.

If the data usage exceeds the data pool, the chart will appear like so:

Vehicles Table

The Online Status column has been renamed to Activity Status and the Total Data Usage column has been renamed to Data Usage (GB). The Data Usage column will display the amount of data that camera has used for the billing cycle in Gigabytes.

If a device is using 30% or more data from the company data pool, a warning indicator will be displayed in this column. When clicked, it will display this warning informing you of how much data the vehicle has consumed.

 

Companies Table in Partner Portal

For Partners to monitor their customer's fleets we've added a Total Data Used (GB) and Available Data Pool (GB) column to the table on the Companies table. These columns show total data used by the company and the total data pool available to that company for that billing cycle.

 

User Notifications

New user notifications have been created in order to help you be more proactive in monitoring the data usage across the fleet. The following notifications are available to Company level users, such as Fleet Manager, Custom User, and Notification User.

• Data Pool Usage (Email)

  • This notification when enabled will report on a periodic basis the following:

    • Amount of data consumed by the fleet to date in current billing cycle

    • Amount of data consumed in the time period since the last report

    • Top 5 devices in fleet that consumed the most data since the last period

    The period of this report can be configured with the following options:

    • Daily - Report will be sent on a daily basis

    • Weekly - Report will be sent at the beginning of each week in the billing cycle

    • Bi-Monthly - Report will be sent at the beginning of every other week in the billing cycle.

    • Billing Cycle End - Report will be sent on the last day of the billing cycle

• Data Pool Warning (Email/SMS)
  

  • This notification when enabled will report when the data pool usage has exceeded certain thresholds that the user can choose to receive notifications for:

    The threshold options will be:

    • 50%

    • 75% (default selected)

    • 90%

    • 100%

    A user can select 1 or more of the thresholds to receive notifications for

• Device High Data Usage (Email/SMS)

This notification when enabled will report a device that has used 30% or more of the data pool for the billing cycle. Devices should only be reported once per billing cycle

 

Advanced Video Recording Settings

For fleets that require more specific or precise settings for video recording, we are introducing a new set of options to allow fleets to individually set quality and FPS values in the Video options for Fleet Profiles.

Enabling Advanced Quality Settings will allow you to input values manually for FPS and Quality for each channel.

• FPS - The frames-per-second the channel will record video in. This can be set from 1 to 30.
• Quality - The definition quality the channel will record video in. This can be set from 1 to 5 with 5 being best quality.

Additionally, there are two sets of values available - Recording Quality and Parking Mode Quality. The Recording Quality settings are used when the camera is in normal operation (aka Driving Mode) and the Parking Mode Quality settings are used when the camera is in Parking Mode if the profile also has Parking Mode enabled, otherwise these settings are ignored.

The link icon next to the FPS settings indicates if the FPS values between normal operation and Parking Mode are in sync or not. When linked together, the FPS values will mirror each other when changing the Recording Quality FPS value. By clicking the link, it will change to a pink unlinked icon to indicate that the FPS values can be set independently.

If the FPS values are unlinked and you wish to re-link them so they are the same, simply click the pink unlinked icon again and it will automatically link and match the FPS settings so they are the same, and click Save to save your changes.
