How to work with media files

All recordings and photos from devices are available for viewing in your user account — either in the History section or in the Media tab of the selected object.
 

Media files in History

In the History section, you can not only view the object’s tracks but also work with video: watch recordings, download clips, or check recorded violations.
1. Go to the History section in the top panel
2. Select the desired object from the list by checking the box next to it
3. Specify the desired time period
4. Click the Search button
5. In the search results, check the track recordings you want to view
6. The Media tab will appear in the bottom panel (next to Events)
The Media tab is divided into two parts:
  • Device — recordings stored on the device itself (dashcam or camera)
  • Storage Server — recordings stored on the server (e.g., DMS/ADAS events: seatbelt unfastened, fatigue, smoking, etc.)

Device tab

This section shows everything still stored on the device.

How to view a recording:

1. Click the icon next to the recording in the list
2. The player will open and display video for the selected time period
On the video you will see:
  • Channel number
  • Date and time
  • Vehicle speed and/or coordinates

Video player controls:

Play / Pause — start or stop playback
Stop — end playback
Rewind / Fast forward — move through the recording
Screenshot — capture a frame from the video
Sound — adjust volume (if the recording has audio)
Playback speed — slow down or speed up the recording
Full screen — expand the player to full screen

How to download video:

1. Click the download button

next to the recording
2. A download window will open
3. You can download the full video or only a selected segment:
  • To select a segment, specify the start and end time in the calendar
4. Click Start
5. Wait for the system to prepare the file (the device must be turned on and the recording must still be on the memory card)
6. Once prepared, you can save the file to your computer
If the video has already been overwritten on the device, it cannot be downloaded.

Storage Server tab

This tab contains recordings stored on the server. The server stores safety-related events (DMS and ADAS), for example:
  • Driver not wearing a seatbelt
  • Smoking while driving
  • Lane departure
  • Signs of fatigue
Each event has a description, e.g., “Seatbelt unfastened,” “Fatigue while driving.”

How to work with media on the server:

  • To view a photo of an event, click the icon .
  • For some events, video is also available — click the play icon .
  • To save a media file (photo or video) to your computer, use the download button .
     

Where violations in the Storage Server come from

All violations you see in the Storage Server tab are recorded by the device itself.
When you create an object and apply a global settings template (e.g., for CMS devices), the object gets a multi-position Alarm sensor.
The device sends violation codes, which PILOT automatically maps to the sensor’s calibration table.
The table translates technical codes into understandable statuses, such as:
  • Using a phone
  • Unsafe distance
  • Smoking while driving
  • Fatigue
  • Lane departure
  • Other violations
When a driver commits one of these violations, the device sends a code along with a photo or video to the system. The basic set of violation codes is already built into the calibration table, so most events are recorded immediately without additional setup.
 

Media files in the object menu

The object menu has a separate Media tab.
How to open it:
1. Find the desired object in the list
2. Right-click on it
3. Select Media from the menu
The Media tab is divided into two parts:
  • Device — recordings stored on the device itself (dashcam or camera)
  • Storage Server — recordings stored on the server (e.g., violation recordings)
