🔋 Reconeyez Integration

Reconeyez specializes in battery-powered, outdoor LTE cameras designed for rapid deployment. Unlike traditional VMS systems, Reconeyez uses an Event-Driven model to conserve power, sending high-quality image sequences or short clips only when motion is detected.

📋 Prerequisites​

  • Active SIM Card: With a valid 4G/LTE data plan.
  • Device ID: Found in the Reconeyez client/portal (Mandatory for registration).
  • GCXONE Webhook: Configured to receive incoming Reconeyez API calls.

🛠️ Configuration Steps​

  1. 1

    1. Cellular Activation​

  2. 2

    Ensure your Reconeyez Bridge or Camera has a functional SIM card.

  3. 3
    • Verify the Signal Strength in the Reconeyez Cloud.
    • Set the APN if using a private APN for secure transmission.
  4. 4

    2. Capture Parameters​

  5. 5

    Navigate to Event Settings in the Reconeyez Cloud Portal.

  6. 6
    • Set the number of snapshots per event (recommended: 3-5).
    • Set the video clip duration to 10 seconds.
    • Adjust sensitivity to ensure humans are detected while avoiding triggers from grass or shadows.

    3. API & Webhook Linking​

  9. 9

    Navigate to Integration Settings in the Reconeyez Platform.

  10. 10
    • Enable the External API for event forwarding.
    • Configure the webhook URL provided by your GCXONE technical lead.
    • This ensures that every time a PIR is tripped, the metadata and video URL are pushed to our operators.

    4. Final Discovery in GCXONE​

  12. 12
    1. Log in to GCXONE → Sites → Devices.
    2. Click Add Device and select Reconeyez.
    3. Serial Number: Enter the Device ID from the Reconeyez portal (Mandatory).
    4. Click Discover. GCXONE will register the virtual sensors for PIR, Battery, and Signal.

💡 Troubleshooting​

  • Delayed Alarms: LTE signal may be weak. Check the "Signal Level" in the Reconeyez UI. If below 2 bars, consider an external high-gain antenna.
  • No Live View: Remember that live view is only available on battery devices when they "wake up" for an event or during a specific polling window.
  • Discovery Fails: Double-check that the Serial Number in GCXONE matches the Device ID in the Reconeyez portal exactly.
