About AIR II

AIR II

The AIR II camera generates alerts from G-Force-based events (acceleration, braking, turning, etc.,) offering in-cab audio alerts and video of the event available for viewing in the GPS Fleet Tracking Portal from the Camera Events section of Vehicle Cards.

Alert Event Types

Default thresholds for the event types are provided below. If you would like to change any of the thresholds listed below, please contact your Account Manager.

  • Hard Acceleration – Default .27g
  • Hard Brake – Default .35g
  • Hard Turn – Default .31g
  • Power Lost

    Triggered when the device is disconnected from power. This is not to be confused with when the camera is in Rest mode upon Ignition Off status.

  • Driver Initiated – Generated when the driver pushes the Manual Event button

GPS Tracking

For GPS Tracking, the AIR II provides the following data points captured at a 1-minute update rate:

  • Ignition Status

Requesting Camera Events

Camera Events from the last 30 calendar days are available from the Camera Events section of the Vehicle Card’s Overview tab.

How to Request a Camera Event:

  1. From the Camera Events section, click the Download icon () next to the camera event you would like to request.

    2. A request is sent to the camera to transmit the video. Once the video is available, the icon is updated to a Play icon ()

    The time it takes to download is impacted on whether the vehicle is on or off (vehicle must be in ON status to send the video).

  2. Click the Play icon.

Any camera events that take place during nighttime are recorded with nightvision; thus, the recording will be in black and white.

Manual Clip Request

From the Vehicle Card, you can use the Manual request button and Manual requests section to request and view clips generated with a custom timeframe.

How to create a manual clip request:

  1. From the Vehicle Card, click Manual request next to Camera clips.

    2. The Request video clip pop-up appears. The pop-up provides you with your current clip quota in the header for easy, at-a-glance data consumption.

    Requested manual clips count toward your account quota.

  2. Use the data and time selectors to enter the date and time of the clip you would like to manually request.
  3. Use the drop-down next to Duration, to select the time duration of the requested clip (30 seconds or 1 minute).

    A 30-second clip counts as 1 clip toward your quota; whereas, a 1-minute clip counts as 2 clips toward your quota.

  4. Click Request Clip.

    5. A message is shown toward the top-right of the screen to confirm the clip was requested successfully. Once you have requested a clip, it may take some time for the video to appear under the Manual requests section of the Vehicle Card. The requested clip is available in the GPS Fleet Tracking Portal for 90 days from the original date of request.

Downloading a Clip for Local Storage

You can download a clip, event-based or manually requested, for local storage on your computer (not available for other smart devices) by clicking Download Clip while viewing a clip in the Portal.

Viewing Your Camera Clip Quota

You can view your camera clip quota from a Vehicle Card on the Portal Map page. Your account gets a quota of 25 clips per camera pooled across the account, which resets on the 1st of each month.

To view your quota, simply hover your mouse over the info icon next to Camera clips on the Vehicle Card and the pop-over bubble lists the number of clips you have left and the number of days your quota will reset in.
