Trends and Observation

1.   Number of Events: The total number of events fluctuates slightly over the years, with a peak in 2019 (219,019) and the lowest count in 2018 (184,887).

2.   Events with Matching Videos: The number of events with matching video data follows a similar trend, peaking in 2019 (166,762) and the lowest in 2018 (130,346). This suggests better compliance in capturing video footage as the years progress.

3.    Compliance Rate: The video activation compliance rate improved from 71% in 2018 to 76% in both 2019 and 2021, with a slight decrease in 2020 and 2022 (both at 74%). This indicates that efforts to improve video capture during events have generally been successful, though there are slight dips in some years.

In conclusion, the overall compliance has improved compared to the starting year, with 2019 and 2021 showing the highest compliance rates. However, there's room for further enhancement to maintain or increase the video activation compliance rate, especially after the dips in 2020 and 2022.
