Patriot Systems

Introduction

This manual provides detailed configuration steps for integrating Scylla with Patriot Systems.

This integration enables seamless communication between the two systems, allowing alarms generated in Scylla to be transmitted to Patriot Systems along with the associated media.

Patriot Systems configuration

ICA setup

Patriot needs to be on version 6.6.26 or later, with the ICA module registered

To configure the ICA on the Patriot system, start by navigating to the Patriot installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Patriot Systems\Patriot Version 6 Client.

Then, launch the UtilitiesProgram from this location.

Next, go to System > System Settings > Setup ICA to complete the configuration.

On this page, specify the API port number, which will be used later to establish the connection between Scylla and Patriot. Once done, click Save to apply the changes.

Folder Access Permission

Now, navigate to the directory where the Patriot system is installed. Locate the Patriot Data Service folder, right-click on it, and select Properties. Go to the Security tab and grant the Windows user Full Control permission. Click OK.

Next, launch the Patriot Configurator application.

Restart both Data Service and Task Service

Testing ICA

To test if the ICA is set up correctly, open a web browser and enter the following in the address bar:

http://localhost:<API port number>/

Replace <API port number> with the port number you configured earlier.

You should see the login page displayed. This confirms that the ICA has been successfully set up.

Note: You will not be able to log in at this point. Logging in will only be possible after creating the API user, as described in the following steps.

Create Web-Access (API) Security Group

Next, create a web access security group. To do this, navigate to Security > Operators > Security Groups.

Click Insert to add a new Security Group.

• Name the Security Group.
• Enable the Web.mobile client option.
• Select Extended Access for the Group Type (Leave all access options enabled). Name the Security Group.

Enable the Web.mobile client option.

Select Extended Access for the Group Type (Leave all access options enabled).

Create Web-Access (API) User

To create an API user, navigate to Maintenance > Users > Maintenance.

• Click Insert to add a new user. Click Insert to add a new user.

• Name the user.

• Click Save to apply the changes. Name the user.

Click Save to apply the changes.

• Go to the Remote Access tab. Go to the Remote Access tab.

• Enable Allow Web Access.

• Enter the credentials (these will be used as API credentials and will be set on the Scylla Dashboard later to establish the connection).

• Click Insert under Security Groups and select the API Security Group created in the previous step. Enable Allow Web Access.

Enter the credentials (these will be used as API credentials and will be set on the Scylla Dashboard later to establish the connection).

Click Insert under Security Groups and select the API Security Group created in the previous step.

Click Save

Create a video storage folder

To allow for direct media transmissions you will need to set up the Video Storage folder in the System Wide Settings.

• To do that, navigate to System > System Settings > System Wide Settings.
• Go to Misc Settings.
• In the Video Storage Folder field, select the folder where you want to store the alarm videos. To do that, navigate to System > System Settings > System Wide Settings.

Go to Misc Settings.

In the Video Storage Folder field, select the folder where you want to store the alarm videos.

Create a client

Now, we need to create a new client on Patriot. If you already have an existing client and wish to use that, you can skip this step.

Note: To receive and view the alarm video sent by Scylla, the camera type should be set to Standard Media on the Zones page.

Click Insert then Name the client and assign a client ID and proceed.

In the Client menu, follow these steps:

• Go to Zones.
• Select Standard Media as the Camera Type.
• Click Insert to add a new zone.
• In the General tab, set the Zone No to 1 (this is for receiving alarms from the Scylla Asteria Box; if using Hikvision or Dahua NVR, set the Zone No accordingly).
• In the Cameras section, enable the Camera Enabled setting.
• Click Save to apply the changes. Go to Zones.

Select Standard Media as the Camera Type.

Click Insert to add a new zone.

In the General tab, set the Zone No to 1 (this is for receiving alarms from the Scylla Asteria Box; if using Hikvision or Dahua NVR, set the Zone No accordingly).

In the Cameras section, enable the Camera Enabled setting.

Click Save to apply the changes.

Assign API user to the client

Next, assign the API user to the client.

1- Navigate to the Users page.

2- Click the Assign Existing User button.

1-Enter the user's name in the Search field.

2-Click the Search button.

3-Select the API user created in the previous step.

The user should now be visible, and the Remote Access tab will display the user's credentials along with the security group to which they belong.

Scylla Dashboard configuration

Creating Integration

Log in to your Scylla Cloud Dashboard account and go to Settings > Integration.

To add a new integration, click on the Add new + button.

1-Name: Enter a name for the integration.

2-Type: Select Patriot System.

Click Save.

Next, click on the three dots menu and select Map Integrations.

In the mapping window:

• On the left, you'll see a list of all integration drivers available on the Scylla dashboard.
• On the right, a dropdown menu will display the clients from the Patriot system. On the left, you'll see a list of all integration drivers available on the Scylla dashboard.

On the right, a dropdown menu will display the clients from the Patriot system.

Map each box/NVR on Scylla to the corresponding client in the Patriot system.

Click Save.

Creating Event Rule

Additionally, in the Client menu under the History page, all Scylla alarms for that client will be displayed, with the option to view the detection video.

Clicking on the Play button will display the detection video.

This is the basic method for viewing Scylla-sent alarms on Patriot. The Patriot system also allows for various configurations for activations, which you can follow to customize the system further.
