Get videos from an SD card
You can search for videos that do not appear in the Video > Events tab. If the video is still on the camera's SD card, you can request and download a 40-second video.
You can only request videos if the footage is on the SD card. Depending on the card's capacity, SD cards hold at least 22 hours of footage (or 'driving time') which is then recorded over as usage continues.
There are two ways to search for footage, depending on whether the vehicle’s camera is online or offline.
Note
Videos cannot be accessed by Support agents.

When a camera is online, you can search for videos using GET VIDEO. To get a camera online, make sure that:
-
The ignition is on, and the vehicle has been moving for at least 2 minutes.
-
The camera has booted up and the lights are showing solid blue and green. This indicates that the camera is online and ready to receive video requests from Reveal.

If you see a different light sequence, troubleshoot the camera indicator lights.

Click and drag the highlighted footage to change the time range of the video that you want to get from the SD card.

You are logged in to Reveal using a device with bad network or WIFI coverage.
-
The vehicle goes offline while the user is searching footage in GET VIDEO.
Footage is available intermittently when:
-
The camera loses power during a sudden jolt or collision.
-
The camera reboots or updates.
If you see the No snapshot available message, download footage from your SD card as soon as possible.

When you have chosen a time range, select GET VIDEO.
A message confirms that the video is on the way.

Videos are deleted from Reveal after 90 days. You can request older videos within a certain time period, which depends on your data retention plan and location.
If you still can't find the video you want, consider whether any of the following apply:
-
The camera may have been damaged during a collision.
-
A driver may have selected privacy mode to stop sharing camera and GPS tracking data with Reveal.
-
The SD card may be corrupted. Contact support to reformat the SD card or order a new one.
-
The SD card may have overwritten the footage. Depending on the card's capacity, SD cards hold at least 22 hours of footage (or 'driving time') which is then recorded over as usage continues.
If you suspect a collision has occurred and a video was not triggered in Reveal, download footage from your SD card as soon as possible.
