Kinesis product update

We’re continuously making improvements to the Kinesis platform to help you manage your fleet more effectively. Read more about the latest releases and enhancements below.

Live map: Onboarding Notice

What's new?

An onboarding notice has been added to the Kinesis app to inform you when your devices will appear on the live map. This simple, proactive message helps to set your expectations and reduce confusion around the onboarding process.

Video Retentions: New videos and saved videos

What's new?

Videos that are retrieved manually or automatically uploaded through event triggers will now only be available in the temporary video library for 31 days. After this period, any videos not permanently saved will be deleted from the platform.

You must now move any videos you wish to keep into the Saved Videos section. These videos will then be available to view in the permanent video library.

Live map and live stream updates

In our most recent release, we have implemented a number of small improvements to our Live Map screen and Live Streaming feature:

Live Map – Business Information Toggle: You can now choose to display information about businesses located in the area on the map.
Live Map – POI (point of interest) Name Toggle: This allows you to show or hide the names of POIs that have been set up on your Live Map. You can now select to see POIs by icon only or choose whether to see designated names.
Live Stream Camera Switching: Switching the selected cameras mid-stream no longer ends the previous stream, allowing for a better viewing experience.
Live Stream Availability Count: The number of available live streams is displayed, helping users to understand how many additional live streaming sessions can be executed that day.

Update to the ‘Device Health Dashboard’

Kinesis ‘Device Health Dashboard’ feature has now been updated to include all device types, including vehicle trackers, asset trackers and cameras.

Keep your fleet compliant and protected with minimal disruption.

Device Battery Alert

The new ‘Device Battery’ tile can now be accessed below ‘Notification’ tile for viewing past device battery alert notifications. This allows users to receive notifications when an asset tracker device’s battery reaches low or critical levels. Alerts can be sent via email or mobile app push notification, helping users take timely action and avoid tracking loss.

Device Battery Alert includes:

Asset tracking available in Kinesis

We have launched a new asset tracking device - the neon-s - and as part of this launch, customers of Kinesis can now take advantage of our asset tracking product, as well as vehicle tracking and vehicle cameras.

The neon-s device is designed for simple GPS tracking. It's a robust device with replaceable batteries that can be easy self-installed, or even moved between different assets as required. It can be fitted on all types of assets, including vehicles, machinery and equipment, or even other items of high value.

What features are available?

Long battery life – 3 years (can be influenced by different factors)
Replaceable batteries
Battery % visibility
GPS ping location (four times per day)
Slim and easy-to-install
Transferable between assets
IP68 rated ingress protection (water and dust resistance)

The neon-s is ideal for tracking important assets, or can be used in conjunction with our vehicle tracking and vehicle camera solutions as an additional layer of tracking.

Video request page

The video search page has been updated to simplify the camera footage download. The page has just two tiles, making it clear whether you are here to get new footage or view existing footage. What are the objectives?

Simplify the process: our goal is to reduce the time and effort required to access important footage,
Improve incident discovery: users can promptly download and review footage to understand events, which aids in resolving disputes, conducting investigations, and improving driver performance,
Clarify the options: make it clear to view 'Event' footage vs 'Requested' footage.

CAN data available on Kinesis

Previously, users could only access CAN data - primarily fuel level, odometer and RPM information, plus battery level and range for EVs - through Kinesis Pro.

This data can now be accessed via our Kinesis platform, meaning customers using stratus tracking devices can benefit from the additional data capture without using Kinesis Pro.

**CAN data availability via Kinesis applies only to customers who have opted for Stratus-e (OBD).

Recording business, private and commute mileage

We have improved how private/business mileage is managed on the Kinesis platform. This change applies to both the Driver App and the web-based platform. As a result of the change:

Drivers now have the ability to select whether a trip is business, personal, or commute with the Driver App,
Fleet managers can change the designations of trips in the Trip History section of Kinesis,
Reports have been updated to include this information to help with local legislative requirements.
