Genetec Security Center - Triton ULTRA Integration Guide

Genetec's Industrial IoT plugin license is required. Integrations are available in both HTTP and TCP.

Genetec Security Center (TCP and HTTP) Integrations Guides

Genetec Security Center Integration: HTTP & TCP

Integrate Triton ULTRA with Genetec Security Center using the Industrial IoT (IIoT) plugin. This guide covers both HTTP and TCP methods to transmit real-time alerts and sensor data points to your VMS.

Method 1: HTTP Integration (Recommended for Data Points)

HTTP allows Triton ULTRA to send both discrete event triggers and continuous "Heartbeat" data points for graphical reporting in Genetec.

1. Genetec Config Tool Setup

  • Create IIoT Plugin: Add a new instance of the Industrial IoT plugin.
  • Configure HTTP Connector: * Navigate to the Protocols tab and select HTTP Server.
    • Add a new connector (e.g., "Triton HTTP") and copy the API Key immediately (it cannot be recovered later).
  • Import Device Type: Import the HTTP_Triton_ULTRA_Device_Type.json file under the Device Types tab to load predefined data points.

2. Triton ULTRA Web UI Configuration

Navigate to Platform Integration > HTTP Settings:

  • Server URL: https://{IIoT_IP}:56789/{MAC_Address}?apikey={API_Key}.
  • Method: POST | Auth Method: None.
  • JSON Payload (Set String): {"trigger":"%EID@TRIGGER%"}.
  • Heartbeat Setup: Navigate to Platform Integration > Heartbeat, set protocol to HTTP, and use JSON payload: {"data-all":"%DATA@ALL%"}.

Method 2: TCP Integration (Optimized for Event Messaging)

TCP is efficient for sending event strings directly to the VMS without the overhead of HTTP headers.

1. Genetec Config Tool Setup

  • Configure TCP Server:
    • In the IIoT plugin Protocols tab, select TCP Server and toggle it to ON.
    • Define a Port (e.g., 10002) and set the Message Delimitation to String with a delimiter of ;.
    • Device ID Regex: Enter ([^;]+) in the Device ID regular expression field to allow the plugin to identify sensors by their MAC address.

2. Triton ULTRA Web UI Configuration

Navigate to Platform Integration > TCP Settings:

  • Host IP: The IP of the machine running the IIoT plugin.
  • Port: Must match the port defined in Genetec (e.g., 10002).
  • TCP Set String: %SYSTEM@MAC%%EID@TRIGGER%;.
  • TCP Reset String: %SYSTEM@MAC%{"%EID@TRIGGERNAME%":{"trigger":false}};.

Finalizing Both Methods

  1. Action Settings: In the Triton dashboard under Actions > Action Settings, check the Set and Reset boxes for your chosen protocol (HTTP or TCP) for every event you wish to monitor.
  2. Linked Cameras: In Genetec Config Tool, select your Triton device and use the Linked Cameras icon to associate nearby cameras for instant video pop-ups during alerts
