G901 Helmet-mounted Recorder (Retrofit)
G901 is a retrofit helmet-mounted recorder that upgrades standard safety helmets with 4G video, GPS tracking, SOS, intercom, and multi-alarms—without replacing existing helmets.
What is the G901 Helmet-Mounted Recorder?
G901 is a detachable helmet-mounted smart recorder for teams that want video, voice communication, GPS tracking, safety alerts, and platform connectivity without replacing their existing compatible safety helmets.
G901 separates the smart device from the helmet shell. It is designed for retrofit projects, existing PPE fleets, system integrators, OEM evaluations, and teams that need a modular smart terminal for field visibility, communication, recording, positioning, and alert workflows.
Existing helmet fleets
Teams that already use preferred or locally compliant helmet shells and want to add smart recording and communication capability.
Retrofit field visibility
Helmet-mounted video, voice coordination, GPS positioning, safety alerts, local storage options, and platform-connected monitoring.
Integrator and OEM friendly
Suitable for system integrators, OEM/ODM projects, sample testing, and project teams evaluating smart helmet functionality.
Need a complete helmet?
If your project needs the helmet shell and smart electronics delivered together, compare G901 with the G808 integrated smart safety helmet.

Key Features
Retrofit to Existing Helmets
Mounts to standard safety helmets using a bracket system, helping teams digitize safety management without changing current helmets.
4G Video Call & Real-time Monitoring
Supports video calls with the management backend for real-time field verification and remote supervision workflows.
GPS Tracking + Route Playback
Uploads location to the backend at configurable intervals and supports route playback for dispatching and incident review.
SOS + Broadcast + Group Intercom (PTT)
SOS long-press for emergency escalation, plus push-to-talk group intercom and backend voice/text broadcast (optional TTS).
Geofence + Danger Zone Alert
Define attendance/work areas and danger zones in the backend; alarms trigger immediately when a person enters a restricted area.
Multi-alarms (Impact / Stay-still / Helmet-off / Near-electric / Height)
Built-in sensors support multiple safety alarms including impact, loitering, helmet-off, near-electric proximity, and working-at-height alerts.
Rugged & Safety-rated (IP66 / 1.5m Drop / Ex option)
Designed for harsh environments with IP66 protection, drop test performance, and an explosion-proof option for hazardous sites.
Project-Specific Expansion Interface
A reserved interface can be evaluated for project-specific peripherals. Module availability, software integration, minimum order quantity, and combined-device validation must be confirmed for each project.
When should you choose G901?
G901 is the right fit when the buyer wants a detachable smart recorder module instead of replacing the full helmet fleet.
Your project needs a modular smart helmet terminal
Your team already uses preferred safety helmets and wants to add video recording, communication, positioning, and alarm functions.
You need a detachable device for retrofit projects, sample testing, mixed helmet fleets, or system integration evaluation.
You want the terminal to use a complete monitoring platform, connect with an existing enterprise system, or run your own APK and backend.
Your project needs a complete smart helmet product
You want the helmet shell, smart terminal, camera, battery, and safety functions delivered as one integrated product.
Your procurement team prefers a finished smart safety helmet rather than a detachable add-on module.
Your deployment does not need to preserve existing helmet shells or bracket-based mounting.
Need to confirm helmet compatibility?
For G901 projects, share your helmet type, mounting requirements, expected quantity, network environment, platform deployment preference, and integration needs. HelmetSight can help evaluate whether G901 is suitable for your existing helmet fleet.

Customer-Owned APK & Backend
Build your Android application and backend for G808 or G901. Your team owns application logic, protocols, security, storage, updates and maintenance.
Confirm the product and software path together
For G901, share the existing helmet model and inner-brim photos so mounting can be reviewed. The pilot should also confirm device functions, application ownership, data and media flows, network behavior and acceptance criteria.
Product Structure
Detachable Retrofit Structure (Mounting System)
G901 is designed as an under-helmet hanging recorder with a detachable mounting system. Different clip/bracket options support common helmet inner-brim structures for stable installation and easy removal.
Standard Hard Hats (Non-vented & Vented) — Clip Options A/B
Compatible with common standard hard hats, including non-vented and vented types. Clip options A/B help match different inner-brim geometries; share helmet photos so we can confirm the best fitment before deployment.
Fiberglass Helmets — Clip Option C (Fitment-based)
Fiberglass helmet shells often have different brim structure and mounting space. Clip option C is used for fitment-based installation, ensuring the recorder is securely mounted and aligned for daily operation.
