Configuring the Fleet Monitoring plugin role - Security Center Fleet Monitoring 2.2

Before you can use the Fleet Monitoring plugin to monitor and offload from your vehicle system, you must define your default, general, and automatic offload settings.

1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Plugins task.
2. In the Plugins task, select the plugin role from the entity browser, and click the Properties tab.
3. In the Default offload settings section, configure the following:

   Destination archiver

   Default archiver for video archiver transfer. This should be dedicated for long-term video storage.

   Offload video data on

   Offload video for all events, or for specific types of events. You can also specify the duration, in seconds, of video preceding and following the events to offload.

   Automatic offload on

   Enable automatic offloads for the following:

   • WiFi connected: If your vehicle system uses an embedded WiFi adapter, start an automatic offload when your vehicle system connects to WiFi.
   • GPS unit online: Start an automatic offload when a GPS unit goes online.
   • Areas of interest: If you are using geofences to offload, select the geofenced areas that you want to trigger automatic offloads when a vehicle enters the area.

   Event on

   Trigger an event on the following:

   • Automatic offload started: Receive events when automatic offloads start.
   • Automatic offload finished: Receive events when automatic offloads finish.
   • Offload failure: Receive events when automatic offloads fail.
   • Offload gap: Receive events when there is a gap between automatic offloads.

   Require WiFi connection

   If your vehicle system uses an embedded WiFi adapter, only offload data using WiFi.

   Require recent location data

   Only offload data if the location data of the AVL unit is recent.

4. In the General offload settings section, configure the following:

   Prioritize manual offloads

   Send manual data offloads to the top of the queue.

   Chunk size

   Maximum video duration, in hours, that can be transferred before dividing it into smaller chunks to optimize transfers.

   Maximum AVL units in progress

   Number of active transfers allowed simultaneously.

   Maximum items in progress per AVL unit

   Maximum number of items that can offload data at the same time during a transfer, depending on the bandwidth available for offloading.

   Offload monitoring interval

   The update interval for data offloads in the AVL data offload status task.

   Status page update interval

   The refresh interval, in seconds, for the AVL data offload status task.

   Completed status timeout

   The duration, in minutes, before completed offloads are cleared from the AVL data offload status task.

   Video offload pending timeout

   The duration, in minutes, before a pending video offload is canceled.

   Video offload in progress timeout

   The duration, in seconds, before an in-progress offload that is not sending status updates is canceled.

   Offload incident titles

   You can define Security Center incidents that are automatically generated during offload. This can make it easier to search and investigate offloaded data.

5. In the Automatic offload settings section, configure the following:

   Look back time

   Sets how far back to search for video to offload

   Maximum offload

   Maximum duration of data to offload

   Minimum offload

   Minimum duration of data to offload

   Overlap

   Ensures that there are no gaps between offloaded video.

   Offload order

   Set the order in which data is offloaded.

   Create incident

   Create an incident on automatic data offloads. If selected, set an Incident title.

6. In the Map settings section, set the Stale data threshold. The stale data threshold is the duration, in seconds, before the icon of an inactive AVL unit changes to stale.
7. Click Apply.
