Open Android development for G808 and G901
Build with Your Own APK & Backend
Last reviewed:
Create a customer-owned Android application for G808 or G901 and connect it to your backend. Your team controls the user experience, business workflow, protocols and data—while the device interfaces and performance are verified for the selected model and pilot.
Designed for software-led projects
Build the helmet terminal into your existing system
The customer APK path is designed for software companies, system integrators, AI or edge teams, and enterprises that require their own interface, workflows, security policy, data model or backend connection.
Compare the software responsibilities
When customer-owned software is the right fit
Choose this path when your team needs its own interface, workflows, security controls, data model or backend. If you prefer ready-to-use monitoring functions, the complete platform is the lower-development alternative.
Complete Monitoring Platform
Use the established device-management and monitoring application when you do not need to build the complete software workflow yourself.
- Faster access to established monitoring workflows
- Device management, media and supported alarm workflows
- A one-month sample account is available for platform evaluation
- Production hosting and support are confirmed for the project
Customer APK + customer backend
Use G808 or G901 as the Android terminal while the customer owns the application and server-side system.
- Customer controls UX, workflows, protocol, security and storage
- Device permissions and interfaces are confirmed during development
- Customer owns application updates, backend maintenance and business logic
- Processed supplier alarm features are not inherited automatically
Device capabilities to confirm
What can be evaluated
A customer APK project may evaluate the following device capabilities. Availability and control depth depend on the selected model, firmware, permissions and agreed project configuration.
- Camera access and local media capture
- Microphone, speaker and audio workflow
- GPS and location data
- Local storage and media-file handling
- Physical buttons and selected device controls
- Selected sensors and accessories after confirmation
- Customer-selected backend communication
- Startup, recovery and offline behavior
Project sequence
From technical scope to production
Define the target
Select G808 or G901, list required device data, describe the user workflow, backend and network environment.
Confirm the boundary
Map permissions, firmware dependencies, raw inputs, processed outputs, protocols and ownership responsibilities.
Prepare development units
Agree sample quantity, firmware or configuration, APK installation method and technical contact points.
Run the POC
Test installation, startup, interfaces, connectivity, recovery, security, battery, thermal and performance behavior.
Sign off evidence
Record test results against the acceptance matrix and close or explicitly document every deviation.
Plan production
Freeze versions, update policy, backend ownership, support boundary, deployment process and change control.
POC acceptance
Validate the actual customer workflow
A useful POC does more than install an APK. It should prove the required device interfaces and end-to-end operating conditions.
- APK installation, launch and auto-start behavior
- Permission and required interface access
- Camera, audio, GPS, media, buttons and required sensors
- Direct communication with the customer backend
- Weak-network, offline and reconnection behavior
- Authentication, encryption and credential handling
- Battery, charging and thermal behavior during the target workflow
- Latency, throughput, stability and concurrent device expectations

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.
- Consider another path when
- Organizations without an Android/backend engineering team or those seeking ready-made monitoring and alarm operations.
- Primary interface
- Customer-owned Android APK and customer backend
- HelmetSight provides
- The selected terminal, the agreed model-specific developer pack, firmware/permission preparation within scope, and device-side POC support.
- Customer owns
- APK, backend, protocol, security, storage, updates, monitoring, maintenance and all rebuilt application and alarm logic.
Raw inputs do not automatically include supplier application logic or processed alarms. G808 and G901 interface packs, permissions and firmware behavior must be accepted separately.
FAQ
Customer-owned APK questions
Is the customer APK path available for both G808 and G901?
Yes. Customer-owned APK projects can be evaluated for both G808 and G901. The current G901 engineering pack documents selected device and system interfaces; the G808 interface package, exact permissions, firmware preparation and performance are confirmed for the selected project and POC.
Does the standard offer include HelmetSight application source code?
No. The customer APK path assumes that the customer owns or develops its own application. Supplier application source code is not included as a standard deliverable.
Will a customer APK automatically keep HelmetSight processed alarms?
No. Access to raw inputs does not automatically include supplier application logic, model outputs or processed alarms. Each required output must be specified and confirmed.
Can the customer choose the communication protocol?
The customer can propose the protocol and backend architecture. Exact support still depends on device, Android, firmware, network and security validation; no single protocol is promised for every configuration.
Does the one-month free cloud POC apply to customer APK development?
The one-month free cloud POC applies to standard HelmetSight platform evaluation. A customer APK project normally requires separately agreed development units, technical scope and acceptance criteria.
What is the recommended production deployment?
The production architecture depends on who owns the software. The complete platform can be hosted in an approved project environment, while a customer APK project uses customer-managed backend infrastructure and lifecycle controls.
