Flexible system architecture
Choose How HelmetSight Fits Your Operations
Last reviewed:
Use G808 integrated smart helmets or G901 helmet-mounted terminals with a ready-to-use monitoring platform, connect them to an existing enterprise system, or build your own Android application and backend. We help confirm the device, data, media, hosting and responsibility model before your pilot begins.
Ways to work with HelmetSight
Select the level of software ownership you need
The choices below are different project architectures, not duplicate products. Start with the result your team needs and the systems you already operate.
Sample Demonstration
Evaluate selected device, GPS, alert, communication and media workflows through a one-month sample cloud account before choosing a production architecture.
Plan a sample evaluation →Complete Monitoring Platform
Use an established web console for device management, mapping, supported alerts, communications, playback and administration without building the entire operational application yourself.
Explore the complete platform →Enterprise Integration
Keep the standard device and operational services while approved data, events and media are connected to your safety, command, video or enterprise platform.
Review enterprise integration →Customer-Owned APK & Backend
Build your own Android experience on G808 or G901 and connect it to your backend. This path gives your software team the most control and requires responsibility for application logic, protocols, security, storage, updates and maintenance.
Explore customer APK development →GB28181 Projects
GB28181 can be reviewed where the destination platform and regional project genuinely require it. Availability, command scope, media behavior and interoperability must be confirmed before commitment.
Ask about protocol compatibility →Not sure where to start? Tell us what your users need to see or do, what systems you already have, and who should own the application and data. We will recommend a practical pilot scope.
System architecture
From the worker to the customer workflow
G808 integrated smart helmet or G901 detachable helmet-mounted terminal.
4G, Wi-Fi or a project-specific network carries approved data, events, audio and video.
Complete monitoring platform, enterprise integration, or a customer-owned APK and backend.
Remote assistance, incident response, mapping, evidence review, inspection or project-specific AI.
Project-specific confirmation: available fields, alarm behavior, video routing, authentication, storage, latency and concurrency depend on the selected device, firmware, network and architecture.
Integration scope
Typical information used by customer systems
| Capability | Customer use | Confirm during the pilot |
|---|---|---|
| Device and user mapping | Associate devices with workers, teams, departments or sites. | Identifiers, provisioning, ownership and permissions. |
| Location | Display outdoor GPS or project-specific indoor positioning in operational views. | Positioning method, update interval, coverage and retention. |
| Alerts and events | Route SOS or configured device events into response workflows. | Supported event types, acknowledgement, delivery method and escalation. |
| Device status | Monitor online state, battery and available telemetry. | Fields, refresh interval and offline behavior. |
| Media and playback | Review event-linked photos, audio or video where configured. | Upload method, permissions, storage, retention and evidence policy. |
| Live video and voice | Support remote verification, assistance or command workflows. | Protocol, concurrency, bandwidth, security and latency. |
A practical start
Move from requirements to a tested architecture
1. Describe the workflow
Share the users, sites, required functions, device quantity and the operational decisions the system must support.
2. Map the responsibilities
Confirm who owns the application, service layer, hosting, security, storage, updates and ongoing support.
3. Validate with evidence
Test representative devices, networks, fields, media paths and failure behavior against written acceptance criteria.

Compare the primary interface, customer ownership and confirmation boundary for each available path before selecting a pilot architecture.
Sample Demonstration
Verified within stated scopeHelmetSight offers a one-month functional demonstration for 1–2 devices so a buyer can review selected device and monitoring workflows before deciding on a production architecture. It is a sample environment, not an overseas production API deployment.
- Best fit
- Teams that want to review core device and monitoring workflows with a limited number of devices before confirming production scope.
- Primary interface
- Sample HelmetSight monitoring interface
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
Conditional GB28181
POC confirmation requiredA GB28181 route may be evaluated when the customer already operates a compatible platform and can define the required regional, network and protocol conditions. It is a conditional project path rather than the default overseas integration route, and model compatibility must be confirmed before quotation.
- Best fit
- Customers that already operate a compatible GB/T 28181 platform and can provide the required platform, network and acceptance parameters.
- Primary interface
- Customer-owned compatible GB28181 platform
Frequently asked questions
Smart helmet system integration FAQ
Do we need to use HelmetSight monitoring software?
No. You can choose the complete monitoring platform, enterprise integration, or a customer-owned APK and backend. The right choice depends on the workflow you need, your software resources and the level of control your organization wants.
Can HelmetSight connect to our existing platform?
Yes, subject to project confirmation. Selected device data, events and media can be evaluated through platform APIs, approved interfaces, RTSP, SDK components or protocol support. The exact scope depends on the device, firmware, deployment and customer architecture.
Can we install our own APK on G808 or G901?
Yes. Customer-owned APK projects can be evaluated for both Android terminals. Camera, audio, GPS, media, buttons, sensors, permissions and firmware scope must be confirmed for the selected model and pilot.
Is the cloud account a production service?
The standard offer is a one-month sample environment for proof-of-concept evaluation. A production architecture is confirmed separately according to software ownership, hosting, security, storage and support requirements.
Is live video or RTSP always available?
No. Live-video routing and RTSP depend on device model, firmware, selected services, network path, concurrency and the approved configuration. These items must be tested before rollout.
