Requesting video

To review incidents and solve crimes, you can use the Genetec Clearance™ registry to identify cameras, vehicles, and participants of interest near the incident location. You can then request video from these cameras and participants to review your operations and aid investigations.

1. Click Requests () and then click Request video.

   

2. From the Request video menu, select a type of request form.
3. Choose to associate the request with a camera from the list, or select the vehicle or geographical location you need video from.
   • Click Add () to associate the request with a camera, vehicle, or participant from the list.
   • Click Map () to select the geographical location you need video from.
     • Click Enter location () to locate a specific address on the map.
     • Click Rectangle selection () to select multiple cameras on the map using a rectangle shape.
     • Click Polygon selection () to select multiple cameras on the map using a polygon shape. Drawing a polygon is useful when selecting cameras that are dispersed across a random area.
   Tip:

   • If you select multiple cameras, or a vehicle containing multiple cameras, you can remove or deselect them as needed.

     

   • If you selected a vehicle, hover over the associated cameras to see a preview of the camera's field of view.

     

4. Assign a name to the request.
5. Choose a category for the request.
6. In the From and To fields, enter the date and time range that you require video from.

   You can select a maximum time range of 2 hours or 120 minutes.

8. (Optional) To associate videos with an existing case, click Select case () and select the case you require.

   

   Note:

   • You can only link videos to cases that you have permission to access. This permission level remains unchanged after the video request approval.

     • Category
     • Date and time
     • Location
