Enhancing safety and visibility

The IONODES PERCEPT Body Camera is a compact, high-performance wearable IoT solution that delivers secure wireless connectivity. It works seamlessly with the March Networks Command video management system to help ensure a consistent, high-quality user experience. 

Whether worn by staff or security personnel, the device adds flexible surveillance coverage for busy, high-value, or customer-sensitive areas.

For retail environments

• Employee safety & de-escalation: The visible, active camera presence helps deter verbal aggression and escalating behavior from customers once they realise they are being recorded.
• Loss prevention: Enables proactive monitoring at POS, returns, and high-theft zones.
• Flexible deployment: Easily worn by floor staff working at checkouts, on the floor, or in the warehouse to enhance inter-departmental operational oversight.
• Wide-angle coverage: 180° lens increases visibility in dynamic environments with busy zones and blind spots.
• Real-time response: Enables remote guidance and fast escalation during customer disputes.
• Retail-ready design: Rugged and reliable for all-day use indoors, outdoors, drive-thru, and curbside.

For financial services environments

• Staff protection in open branch designs: As physical barriers disappear, wearable cameras provide security in close-proximity interactions.
• Roving surveillance: Enhances monitoring at teller lines and customer service zones.
• Incident documentation: Pre- and post-event recordings preserve the complete context.
• Training and compliance support: Real-world footage helps onboard staff and reinforces security protocols.
• Open platform integration: Works seamlessly with the existing March Networks Video Management System (VMS) infrastructure.
