Smart Helmet Data, Alarm & Media Availability Guide
Understand which information is documented at the operational-service layer, which functions belong to a customer-owned Android APK, and which data, alarm, media and streaming behaviors must be confirmed in a project POC.
Last reviewed: August 11, 2026
Direct answer
“Device data” is not one universal interface
The documented operational services expose selected normalized objects for devices, organizations, users, location tracks, alarms, recorded media, RTSP sessions and device messages. A customer-owned APK works at a different layer: it uses model-, firmware- and permission-specific Android or device interfaces and does not automatically reproduce the platform's processed alarms, media records or operating workflows.
Documented
Supported by reviewed interface material
The object or behavior is present in the reviewed V3 platform or G901 V1.3 device-interface documentation.
Configuration-dependent
Depends on the selected project
Availability can vary by product, firmware, permissions, deployment, carrier, storage policy or enabled service.
POC required
Must be measured or demonstrated
Timing, accuracy, retention, access, recovery, codec, concurrency and end-to-end behavior require acceptance criteria.
Not established
Do not assume it is included
A requested endpoint, raw sensor or remote-control function needs separate evidence and engineering confirmation.
Three information layers
Place each requirement at the correct layer
This distinction prevents a processed platform record from being mistaken for a raw device interface—or a documented field from being mistaken for a guaranteed production result.
01 · Field device
Local hardware and Android interfaces
The helmet or helmet-mounted terminal captures and produces local events, media and device state. Direct access depends on the model, firmware, permissions and documented device interfaces.
Relevant to the customer-owned APK path; not equivalent to a public cloud API.
02 · Operational services
Normalized operational objects
The established service layer manages device and user relationships, location records, processed alarm records, media metadata, RTSP sessions and selected device-message workflows.
Used by the monitoring platform and by qualified Enterprise Integration projects.
03 · Customer system
Business rules and destination UI
The customer connector maps approved objects into the customer's data model, permissions, dashboards, workflows and storage. The customer owns its destination system and business logic.
Polling, mapping, deduplication and exception handling must be defined for the project.
Availability matrix
What is documented at each layer?
This is a capability map, not an endpoint specification. Approved interface documents and credentials are shared only within a qualified project process.
| Information or function | Operational-service layer | Customer APK / device layer | Key boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device identity and status | Documented Selected identity, model, APK version, online/offline, binding and operational flags | Model-specific Local properties depend on device interfaces and permission scope | Do not assume every local sensor or connectivity field is included in V3 |
| Organization and user binding | Documented User, organization hierarchy and device relationships | Customer-designed The APK/backend must implement its own identity and tenancy model | Customer-system identifiers and mapping rules must be agreed |
| Location and track | Documented GCJ-02 coordinates, timestamps, altitude, speed and bearing fields | Model-specific Direct location access requires device-level confirmation | Overseas map conversion, update rate, retention and offline recovery require POC |
| Processed alarm records | Documented Selected SOS, helmet-removal, geofence, impact, near-electric, stay-still and climbing records | Raw events vary A local event does not automatically include the service-layer alarm workflow | Detection source, mapping, timing, deduplication and completeness require POC |
| Recorded media records | Documented Paged image, video, intercom and audio records with paths and metadata | Model-specific Direct capture, storage and upload are customer application responsibilities | Download permission, URL lifetime, retention and access behavior require POC |
| Live RTSP session | Session control documented Start, retrieve stream URL and stop operations are described | Not assumed Direct helmet-to-VMS streaming needs separate evidence | Authentication, codec, latency, reconnection, concurrency and long-running VMS use require POC |
| Device messages | Documented Selected rich-text and media message submission to devices | Customer-designed The customer APK defines its own message handling and user experience | Do not interpret messaging as a general remote-command and acknowledgement API |
| Keys, lights and near-electric events | Not a general V3 data claim | Selected G901 V1.3 interfaces documented Includes selected lighting, physical-key broadcasts and near-electric events | G808 equivalents and firmware behavior require separate confirmation |
| Camera, audio, GPS and raw sensors | Not established as raw V3 access | POC required Interface, permission and format are model-specific | Do not assume a complete sensor SDK or identical G808/G901 behavior |
Data records
Identity, organization and location
Reviewed V3 material documents selected device identity and operating fields, user and organization relationships, and track records containing GCJ-02 coordinates, timestamps, altitude, speed and bearing.
- • Define the exact objects and fields needed by the customer system.
- • Map platform identifiers to customer asset, worker, site and organization identifiers.
- • Test overseas coordinate conversion and the destination map provider.
- • Measure update frequency, offline behavior, history and recovery in the target network.
Message boundary
Messaging is not universal remote control
The reviewed service material describes selected rich-text and media message submission to devices. It does not establish a general-purpose catalogue of remote commands, acknowledgements or low-level device controls.
- • List every requested command and expected response separately.
- • Confirm the applicable product, firmware and user permission.
- • Test acknowledgement, timeout, retry and audit behavior.
- • Keep unverified device controls out of production commitments.
Alarm flow
A processed alarm is more than a raw event
The standard documented customer-system method is authenticated polling of approved alarm records. A webhook or push workflow is separate engineering unless it is explicitly included in the project scope.
- 01
Event or detection
A device, enabled function or operational rule produces an event.
- 02
Alarm record
The operational layer stores a normalized warning record and applicable relationship data.
- 03
Authenticated retrieval
A customer connector polls the approved record set and handles paging, errors and retries.
- 04
Customer workflow
The customer maps, deduplicates, displays, escalates and retains the event in its own system.
Alarm-to-media relationship
Reviewed fields can be used to relate a warning record to media records. The completeness, creation timing, permission, download behavior and final customer workflow must still be tested. Do not assume that every alarm always produces a media file.
Media boundary
Recorded media and live video are different services
A media-record API helps locate stored image, video, intercom and audio records. RTSP session control provides a qualified live-stream path. A project may need one or both.
Recorded media
Searchable records and paths
Documented media categories include image, video, intercom and audio records with selected identifiers, timestamps, paths and descriptive metadata.
Confirm in POC
- • Record creation and availability timing
- • URL lifetime, authorization and download behavior
- • Retention, deletion and storage responsibility
- • Customer permissions, audit and media mapping
Live RTSP
Session-oriented live stream
Reviewed V3 material describes starting a session, obtaining a stream URL and stopping the session. This is not a guarantee of every VMS or analytics workflow.
Confirm in POC
- • Stream authentication and network route
- • Codec, resolution, latency and startup time
- • Reconnection, timeout and weak-network behavior
- • Concurrent sessions and long-running VMS use

Availability FAQ
Common data, alarm and media questions
Can a customer retrieve data directly from the helmet?
A customer-owned APK can be evaluated for documented, model-specific device interfaces and permissions. Direct device access does not automatically provide the same processed device, organization, alarm, media and operating objects delivered by the established service layer, so the customer must define and build the missing application and backend logic.
Are alarms pushed to the customer system in real time?
The standard reviewed Enterprise Integration method is authenticated polling of approved alarm records. Webhook or push delivery is separate engineering unless it is explicitly confirmed in the project scope. Required timing, polling behavior, deduplication and recovery should be measured in the POC.
Is RTSP live video the same as recorded-media access?
No. Recorded-media services return records and paths for stored image, video, intercom or audio items. RTSP is a session-oriented live-stream path. Authentication, codec, latency, recovery, concurrency and destination compatibility need separate acceptance criteria.
Are raw G808 and G901 device interfaces identical?
No. Device interfaces, permissions and firmware behavior are model-specific. Selected G901 V1.3 interfaces are documented, but G808 equivalents and any raw camera, audio, GPS or sensor access require separate evidence and POC confirmation.
Are private API documents and credentials published on this page?
No. This page explains reviewed capability boundaries for buyers. Approved interface documents can be shared during a qualified project review after scope and responsibility are understood. Passwords, tokens and production credentials must never be published or sent through an unsecured inquiry.
