Validation & Testing ​

Use this checklist after configuring HTTP, SFTP, or MQTT.

Functional validation ​

  • Save endpoint settings on camera
  • Trigger at least one known LPR event
  • Confirm event reaches Guardian
  • Confirm event metadata is complete and correctly mapped

Stability validation ​

  • Trigger multiple events in sequence
  • Confirm no dropped events
  • Confirm camera does not enter repeated retry loops

Protocol-specific checks ​

HTTP ​

  • Endpoint receives POST requests
  • Expected status code is returned by Guardian

SFTP ​

  • Files land in correct directory
  • File naming matches expected pattern
  • Ingestion picks up new files

MQTT ​

  • Messages arrive on correct topic
  • QoS/retain behavior matches expected policy

Evidence collection ​

Capture and attach:

  • Camera endpoint configuration screenshots
  • One successful transmission per protocol
  • One short test video per protocol (optional but recommended)
