On the Vision Portal's Vision Request screen, you can view previously requested videos and submit a request for a new video.

Note: It is actually easier to use the Trip Details window to request a video because you already are looking at the vehicle and trip you need a video for, whereas with the method below, you need to find both. Go to Viewing Trip Details for details.

Viewing Video Requests


You can view video requests as follows:


  1. Click  >> Video Requests.
    Note: Select the first menu option with that name. The second one (at the bottom of the menu), Video Requests (K-12 Portal), opens the CalAmp K-12 page, not the Vision Portal one. (Video Requests [K-12 Portal] has details about the K-12 screen.)
    The Vision Portal Video Requests screen will appear.
      
    By default, requests made in the last seven days, including the current day, will be displayed.
     
  2. You can change the time period of shown requests as follows:
     
    1. Click the Select Date Range calendar picker.
        
    2. You can select one of the common date ranges (such as Past 14 Days) by clicking it on the left.
       
    3. To specify a custom range of dates, clicking the beginning and end days on the calendar. (You can use  to move to the preceding month and  to return the current month.)
       
    4. Click Search.
       
  3. You can click Panic Button at the top right of the grid to see any Panic Button events, which are triggered when a driver presses the camera device's physical SOS button. Videos are automatically captured for these events.
     
  4. You can click the Event On-Demand tab to view on-demand requests for HD video about specific events.
     
  5. In the Status column, you can see the status of a video request, such as Processing or Ready.
     
  6. To view a video that is ready, click  in its row on the right.
     
  7. You can see the Trip Details window for the trip the request was made for by clicking . (See Viewing Trip Details.)
