Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • Valid SIM card with data plan (for LTE/4G connectivity) OR Wi-Fi access
  • Reconeyez mobile app or cloud platform access
  • Device ID from Reconeyez client (used as Serial number in GCXONE)
  • Network connectivity allowing outgoing connections to cloud platform
  • GCXONE account with device configuration permissions
  • Webhook configuration capability in GCXONE
  • Adequate mobile signal strength (for LTE) or Wi-Fi coverage

Device Profile

  • Type: Battery-Powered PIR Event Camera - Wireless IoT Device
  • Discovery Protocol: Manual registration via Device ID
  • Event Types: PIR motion detection, event-driven video capture, snapshot triggers, arm/disarm state changes, battery alerts, connectivity loss
  • Network Requirements:
    • Connectivity: LTE/4G (SIM card required) or Wi-Fi (SSID/password configuration)
    • Outgoing Connections: Cloud platform (minimal manual IP configuration needed)
    • Firewall: Allow outgoing connections to Reconeyez Cloud
    • Bandwidth: Minimal (event-driven clips only, not continuous streaming)
  • Known Considerations:
    • Battery-powered - Optimized for event-driven capture, not continuous streaming
    • Event-driven video - 10-15 second clips on trigger (preserves battery life)
    • Webhook integration mandatory - Configure workflow in GCXONE for event notifications
    • Device ID as Serial - Use Device ID from Reconeyez client as Serial number (mandatory)
    • Wireless deployment - No wired power or network required (ideal for temporary sites)
    • LTE/4G or Wi-Fi - Flexible connectivity options for various deployment scenarios
    • PIR motion detection - Passive Infrared sensor triggers video capture
    • Snapshot capture - Configurable photo intervals and count
    • Cloud-based management - Configure via Reconeyez mobile app or cloud portal
    • SIA/Contact ID support - Central monitoring station integration available

Quick Start

To configure Reconeyez PIR Cam with GCXONE:

  1. Network Configuration - Insert SIM card with data plan (for LTE/4G) OR configure Wi-Fi via mobile app/cloud portal
  2. Verify Connectivity - Ensure adequate signal strength (mobile or Wi-Fi) and cloud platform connectivity
  3. Configure Event Triggers - Access Reconeyez cloud portal/mobile app and set up event-driven capture parameters
  4. Set Video Clip Duration - Configure 10-15 second clips and snapshot intervals/count
  5. Setup Platform Integration - Configure webhook for event forwarding and API access in Reconeyez platform
  6. Configure GCXONE Webhook - In GCXONE, configure workflow to add webhook for event notifications (mandatory)
  7. Add Device in GCXONE - Navigate to Site → Devices → Add → Reconeyez, provide Device Name and Serial Number (use Device ID from Reconeyez client)
  8. Discover and Save - Click "Discover" to detect device, verify discovery success, and click "Save"
  9. Verify Integration - Test event-driven capture, webhook notifications, and API access

Estimated setup time: 15-25 minutes
