Supported Camera Systems
Patriot integrates with a wide range of camera systems. Many of these integrations are deep and support many features such as audio talkback and telemetry. Other systems integrate with Patriot indirectly - e.g. via a Milestone server or via Email or the Patriot web API using the Standard Media Camera module or a generic camera protocol like ONVIF or RTSP. For this reason the following list cannot be exhaustive, but it does cover all camera systems tightly integrated with Patriot - for these systems a link to full documentation is provided. Other major camera systems in regular use with Patriot are also listed here with details of the integration method.
-
Web Cameras (Network Video Stream / RTSP Camera / IP Camera)
-
Visonic - a lightweight integration with the same function and requirements as the IP Camera Module but adds support for storing login credentials against the Patriot client when the Visonic Camera type is selected on the Zones tab.
-
ChekT - a lightweight integration where ChekT will configure your account to send alarm signals with media links and attachments to Patriot via the web API. A Patriot ICA module is required in order for you to create a web login with the Log Signal permission for ChekT to use to securely log signals into your Patriot system. Standard Media Camera license is required if you wish to view attached media within Patriot. But it is also possible to load ChekT camera URL's into the corresponding Patriot zone instructions if you simply wish to be able to click through from the Patriot response plan to the zone camera in ChekT with your web-browser.
-
OpenEye - a full integration is available via the OpenEye module. A lightweight integration is also possible where OpenEye will use a ChekT bridge to forward alarm events to your Patriot server. In this case setup and requirements are the same as ChekT.
Camera Types Supported by ICA
The following camera types support camera streaming in ICA:
Most camera integrations were developed for Patriot Client programme only, more camera types will be supported by ICA in the future.
