Hosting, data and operational control
Choose Where Your Smart Helmet System Runs
Last reviewed:
Deployment is about more than cloud versus on-premise. It defines where applications, device services, operational data and media are processed—and which organization is responsible for security, storage, maintenance and support.
Start with the software architecture
Three production models, each with different ownership
Complete Monitoring Platform
Use the established device-management and monitoring application. Hosting, data location, access policy, retention and support are confirmed for the project.
Explore the complete platform →Enterprise Integration
Keep the operational service layer for supported device, alert and media workflows while selected information is connected to your existing platform.
Review enterprise integration →Customer-Owned APK & Backend
Your team operates the Android application and backend, including protocol, security, storage, updates and lifecycle. HelmetSight confirms the device-side scope.
Explore customer APK development →Environment choices
Match hosting to your security and operating requirements
Sample Cloud Environment
Use a temporary account to demonstrate selected device and platform workflows during a proof of concept. It is not presented as a permanent free production service.
Review the sample environment →Private Platform Deployment
Run the complete monitoring platform in an approved customer or project environment when local control, network isolation or data-residency rules require it. Infrastructure, licensing, customization and support scope are confirmed separately.
Review private deployment →Customer Infrastructure
For customer-owned APK projects, the customer selects and manages its backend, hosting, security, storage and operational controls. Device interfaces and the end-to-end workflow are validated during the pilot.
Review software responsibilities →Production hosting is selected after the software path is clear. This avoids designing infrastructure before the required workflows, data flows and ownership boundaries are understood.
Responsibility planning
Questions to settle before rollout
| Decision | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Application ownership | Complete platform, enterprise integration, or customer-owned APK. | Defines development, update and support responsibilities. |
| Data location | Country, facility, cloud region or customer infrastructure. | Supports security, privacy and residency requirements. |
| Media storage | Upload rules, retention, playback access and deletion. | Controls bandwidth, capacity, evidence handling and cost. |
| Identity and access | Users, roles, devices, credentials and authentication. | Protects operational data and administrative functions. |
| Performance | Devices, simultaneous streams, API traffic, latency and recovery. | Determines network and server capacity. |
| Lifecycle | Updates, monitoring, backup, maintenance and change control. | Keeps the system supportable after the pilot. |
A controlled rollout
Confirm the deployment with representative evidence
Define the operating workflow
Document users, sites, functions, devices, networks, required data and media, and the decisions the system must support.
Design the environment
Confirm ownership, hosting, access, security, storage, retention, capacity, monitoring and support.
Test before scale
Validate representative devices, weak-network behavior, media paths, latency, concurrency, recovery and acceptance criteria.
Governed system-path summary
Compare reviewed system paths
Compare the primary interface, customer ownership and confirmation boundary for each available path before selecting a pilot architecture.
Complete Monitoring Platform
Configuration-dependentThe Complete Monitoring Platform provides ready-to-use device, location, alarm, media and operational workflows for organizations that do not want to build the main application layer themselves. The production hosting model, infrastructure, operating responsibility and supported configuration are confirmed for each project.
- Best fit
- Organizations that want a complete operational workflow and prefer to avoid developing the primary monitoring application and device-management services.
- Primary interface
- HelmetSight monitoring and administration interface
Enterprise Integration
Configuration-dependentEnterprise Integration connects selected device records, location, alarms, media and qualified video functions to a customer system through the complete operational service layer. The customer keeps its own business interface, while standard system delivery uses authenticated API polling and performance-sensitive functions are confirmed in a POC.
- Best fit
- Organizations with an existing safety, command, VMS or enterprise system that want selected HelmetSight data and media without rebuilding the complete device-management service layer.
- Primary interface
- Customer business interface with supplier administration where required
Customer-Owned APK & Backend
Configuration-dependentHelmetSight G808 and G901 can be evaluated as Android terminals for a customer-owned APK connected to a customer backend. The customer owns the APK, backend, protocol choice, security, storage, updates and business logic; exact interfaces, permissions, firmware preparation and performance require a model-specific POC.
- Best fit
- Experienced Android and backend teams that need control of the user experience, application lifecycle, data model and business workflow.
- Primary interface
- Customer-owned Android APK and customer backend
Frequently asked questions
Smart helmet deployment FAQ
Do we have to use the HelmetSight monitoring platform?
No. The complete platform is one option. HelmetSight can also evaluate enterprise integration or a customer-owned APK and backend for both G808 and G901.
How long is the sample cloud account available?
The standard offer provides one month of free access for selected proof-of-concept workflows. Production hosting and ongoing service are scoped separately.
When is private platform deployment useful?
It can be useful when a customer wants the complete monitoring application but must keep services and operational data in an approved environment because of network, security or residency requirements.
Can our existing platform receive device information?
Selected device data, events and media can be evaluated through project-confirmed platform APIs, interfaces, RTSP, SDK components or protocol support. Exact availability depends on the device, firmware, services and target architecture.
What changes when we build our own APK?
The customer controls the user experience and backend, and also owns application logic, protocols, security, storage, updates and maintenance. HelmetSight confirms model-specific device interfaces and the agreed engineering scope.
