Connect Exacq Vision to KODE OS for camera data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect Exacq Vision to KODE OS. You can discover cameras and devices, then align live and recorded video context, camera health, and security-related events with your building data through the ExacqVision API.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Collect Non-Sensor Data
Prerequisites
- An active account with Exacq Vision and access to their API or developer portal
- Username and password credentials for the Exacq Vision system
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Configure Connector in KODE OS
- Navigate to Data Sources in your building
- Click API Catalog and search for Exacq Vision
- Click + Add Datasource
- Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow
Discover Devices and Points
After configuring the connector, click Discover on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the Exacq Vision system and return a list of available devices and their data points. Review the discovered items and select the devices you want to register in KODE OS. For more details on the discovery process, see the Discovery guide.Devices and Points
When you discover devices from Exacq Vision, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:Camera
Canonical Type:camera
What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including disabled, motion, loss, state, collected at regular intervals from connected devicesEvent Logs
System and security event records with timestamps, event types, and associated devices KODE OS maps the collected data to these standard fields:Polling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 5 minutes (min: 5 minutes, max: 1 hours)
- EventLog — Default polling: 1 hours (min: 1 hours, max: 1 days)
Use Cases
Once connected, this integration enables you to:- Integrate video surveillance feeds into the building operations dashboard
- Correlate camera events with access control and alarm data for incident review
- Monitor high-traffic areas and verify occupancy data against video feeds
Troubleshooting
Authentication or connection error
Authentication or connection error
Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Verify the username and password are correct and the account has not been locked in the Exacq Vision system.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Exacq Vision system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
Data collection stops or gaps appear
Data collection stops or gaps appear
Check the connector status on the Data Sources page. If the status shows an error, review the error logs on the connector detail page. Common causes include expired credentials, network changes, or rate limiting by the Exacq Vision API.
