HTTP Configuration

This guide covers LPR camera delivery to Guardian over HTTP/HTTPS.

Required camera fields

Configure the following in your camera endpoint/output settings:

  • Protocol: HTTP or HTTPS
  • Host/IP: <guardian-http-host>
  • Port: <guardian-http-port>
  • Path: <guardian-http-path>
  • Method: POST (unless your deployment specifies otherwise)
  • Content Type: application/json (or your configured expected format)
  • Send Interval / Retry: camera-specific defaults or your site policy

Example template

text
Protocol: HTTPS
Host: guardian.example.com
Port: 443
Path: /ingest/lpr
Method: POST
Content-Type: application/json

Expected behavior

After saving settings and generating an LPR event:

  • Camera sends payload to configured HTTP endpoint
  • Guardian accepts payload and processes event

Verify success

  • Camera transmission status shows success
  • Guardian event appears in expected stream/dashboard
  • No repeating retry loop in camera logs

Screenshots & Video

Use this consistent pattern when adding media.
