GPS Open Protocol

GPS Open Protocol provides standardized access to location data generated by Shelleyes GPS-enabled body cameras.

Through open GPS data interfaces, customers and system integrators can integrate real-time location information into their own platforms, including Video Management Systems (VMS), dispatch systems, GIS platforms, and evidence management solutions.

The protocol enables flexible location tracking, device positioning, and historical route management for applications that require real-time monitoring and location-based services.

GPS Data Integration

Shelleyes body cameras with GPS functionality can provide location information through API interfaces, allowing third-party platforms to access and process GPS data.

Supported GPS information may include:

  • Device ID
  • Latitude and longitude coordinates
  • GPS positioning time
  • Speed information
  • Direction / heading information
  • Location update status
  • Device connection information

GPS Data Format

GPS data is transmitted using standard structured data formats, making integration with third-party systems simple and efficient.

Example:

{
  "device_id": "S9_000001",
  "latitude": "31.230416",
  "longitude": "121.473701",
  "timestamp": "2026-07-17T10:30:00Z",
  "speed": "0"
}

The structured format allows platforms to easily display device locations on maps, track movement history, and associate GPS information with recorded video evidence.

GPS Integration Applications

GPS open protocol can be used for:

Command and dispatch platforms

Real-time body camera location tracking

Officer / employee positioning management

Video evidence location association

Fleet and team monitoring

GIS map integration
