NEW IN VIDEOMANAGER 17.1
VideoManager 17.1 introduces a new integration between the VB400 body-worn camera and select models of Motorola Solutions MOTOTRBO radios, including the R7 model. This release also adds the ability to see the last location of your VB400s, Record-After-the-Fact© support for M500 in-car video systems, and enhancements to VideoManager time zone and language pack behaviour.
MOTOTRBO RADIO INTEGRATION
You can now trigger a VB400 body-worn camera to start recording immediately when a paired MOTOTRBO radio enters an emergency state (either due to Fall Alert or Lone Worker). For an overview of the integration, please see this video (for North America) or this video (for the rest of the world). For more detailed information about enabling and configuring the integration, please see this document on the LXP.
FIND MY VB400 OR M500
With VideoManager 17.1, you can see the most recent location of any GPS- and WiFi-enabled VB400 and M500s in their details pane.
Navigate to the Devices tab.
Select the Search Devices pane.
Click View details next to the relevant device.
Scroll down to the Location section. The device's last location will be shown on the map.
RECORD-AFTER-THE-FACT© SUPPORT FOR M500 IN-CAR VIDEO SYSTEMS
VideoManager now supports Record-After-The-Fact© (RATF) for M500 in-car video systems; this means you can retrieve footage days after an incident occurred, even if the M500 was not recording at the time. Please note - this integration is currently not supported in North America. To enable RATF:
Navigate to the Admin tab.
Select the Device Profiles pane.
Click Go to profile next to the relevant M500 profile.
In the Recording tab, set Enable Record-After-The-Fact© to On.
Click Save settings.
ENHANCED TIMEZONE SUPPORT
VideoManager now distinguishes between a system timezone (where VideoManager’s server is hosted), DockController time zones (where DockControllers and connected devices are located) and device profile time zones. The system time zone will control report times and bandwidth rules, while the DockController or device profile time zones will control video and filename metadata.
To set VideoManager’s time zone:
Navigate to the Admin tab.
Select the System pane.
Click the System Time Zone section.
Select a time zone from the Time Zone dropdown, and click Save settings.
To set a DockController’s time zone:
Navigate to the Devices tab.
Select the DockControllers pane.
Click View details next to the relevant DockController.
In the Device settings section, choose a time zone from the Time Zone dropdown, and click Save settings.
To set a device profile’s time zone:
Navigate to the Admin tab.
Select the Devices pane.
Click the Device Profiles section.
Click Go to profile next to the relevant device profile.
In the Recording behaviour section, choose a time zone from the Time Zone dropdown, and click Save settings.
💡 For more information about timezones, please see the Admin guide.
CUSTOM FIELD LOCALISATIONS
You can now set multiple, locale-specific display names for custom media and incident fields. This ensures that, if the user’s session language differs from VideoManager’s server language, they will see the custom fields in their preferred language. To do so:
Ensure your session is in a different language to VideoManager’s team by navigating to Admin > User Interface > Language.
Navigate to the Admin tab.
Select the Policies pane.
Click the User-defined Media Fields or User-defined Incident Fields section.
Click Edit field next to the relevant field.
Add the localised display name.
Click Save settings.
