1Introduction

One of the unique features of the IONODES PERCEPT Body Camera is that it is an open platform

device, allowing for integration with industry-leading VMS solutions such as Milestone XProtect®.

It implements extensive features of ONVIF profiles G, S and T, along with flexible network

configurations (LAN, Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE) for live video and edge recording retrieval.

This integration is supported as of IONODES PERCEPT Body Camera firmware 10.7.2.5 and has

been validated with XProtect® Expert 2022R3. It requires the Professional+ or higher-featured

edition of XProtect®. Essential+ and Express+ editions do not support Edge Storage transfer. This

document describes the recommended integration deployment as validated by IONODES and

Milestone and a sample scenario is demonstrated to illustrate the various deployment steps.

System Integrators and End Users should adjust to their specific needs and system environment.

2Recommended Deployment

2.1 Layout

A typical deployment scenario, shown in the diagram below, includes the following:

•PERCEPT Body Camera,

•PERCEPT Docking Station,

•Wi-Fi Access Point,

•Virtual Private Network (VPN) server,

•Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure, and

•Local Video Management Software (VMS), Milestone XProtect®

www.ionodes.com | [email protected]

The PERCEPT Body Camera can technically record directly to XProtect® through 4G LTE or Wi-Fi

streaming, but this is not recommended due to bandwidth constraints. The recommended

configuration consists of setting up two (2) video stream settings; an on-demand low-bitrate live

stream enabled over 4G LTE and Wi-Fi, and a high-bitrate recording stream saved to the camera’s

internal storage and later transferred to XProtect® Recording Server via the Docking Station’s

wired Ethernet.

Note: Although the diagram above shows the Wi-Fi Access Point and Docking Station connected to the

LAN infrastructure, these can also connect to the internet. In such a configuration, they reach

the LAN infrastructure via the VPN, enabling live video and recording transfer from a remote

location with internet access.

3Configuring the PERCEPT Body Camera

Start by initializing the PERCEPT Body Camera’s network connectivity with XProtect® via Wi-Fi.

Refer to the PERCEPT Quick Start Guide for network initialization instructions.

Note: Instructions in this guide assume the PERCEPT Body Camera’s initial state is set to factory

default. If the body camera was previously used, it is strongly advised to reset it before

integrating it with XProtect®.

3.1 Deploying Multiple PERCEPT Body Cameras

The PERCEPT Body Camera has multiple configuration settings. To avoid the risk of human error

when deploying many cameras, it is recommended to start by configuring and validating a single

camera.

Once the configuration is fully validated, the IONConfigTool utility (link IONConfigTool - IONODES)

can be used to export its configuration then import it to other cameras. All configuration

parameters are exported/imported except users and credentials, network settings and media at-

rest encryption key. These must be re-entered manually after the import.

3.2 Configure Networking

To integrate with XProtect®, the PERCEPT Body Camera and LAN infrastructure shall be

configured for each camera to always obtain the same IP address on all network interfaces; Wi-Fi,

Docking Station, and VPN. If the Wi-Fi and Docking Station always connect to the video LAN, setting

static IP addresses for these interfaces may be appropriate.

However, static IP addresses can prevent connecting with other networks to access the video LAN

via VPN. For that reason, it is recommended to keep the camera’s network interfaces to DHCP and

configure the VPN router and/or video LAN DHCP server to hand out reserved IP addresses to

each camera. This is further detailed in section 3.6 below.

3.2.1 Configure Cellular

All PERCEPT Body Cameras include a SIM card that can be activated at any time. Contact us to

activate a data plan.

3.2.2 Configure Cellular Data Usage

To better control data usage, the PERCEPT Body Camera can be configured to block different types

of data over cellular links.

1. From the Configuration page

2. Select the Network tab

3. Expand the CELLULAR section and configure parameters in the Data Usage tab

a. Uncheck Audio & Video Streaming to allow live streaming over cellular

b. Check Recorded Audio & Video Clips to block Edge storage transfer over cellular

c. Check System Information Files to block troubleshooting log download over

cellular

d. Check Firmware Updates to block firmware upload over cellular

e. Set sampling rate to 0for both GPS and System Resources to block metadata

streaming over cellular

www.ionodes.com | [email protected]

Note: Settings above are intended to keep cellular data to strict minimum to achieve functionalities of

this deployment scenario. Other data types can be allowed based on individual use case.

Note: It is recommended to disable metadata because the PERCEPT Body Camera integration with

Milestone XProtect® does not currently use it. Future revisions are planned to include use cases

for metadata.

3.2.3 Configure Wi-Fi Data Usage

PERCEPT Body Cameras can be configured to block media playback and metadata streaming over

Wi-Fi. This impacts Edge Storage transfer since it is achieved through media playback. Playback

can take up all the available bandwidth of a Wi-Fi network, especially when multiple camera users

return to a central location at the end of a shift.

XProtect® Recording Server can be configured to limit edge storage concurrent jobs and

bandwidth, or playback can be disabled over Wi-Fi altogether from the PERCEPT Body Camera

Web UI. The latter is recommended when deploying with PERCEPT Docking Stations. Edge storage

transfers will be performed exclusively over docking stations’ wired Ethernet port.
