New mobile surveillance capabilities enhance employee safety and operational flexibility for retailers and financial institutions.

March Networks has announced the integration of its video management platform with IONODES' PERCEPT Body Camera. Unveiled at NRF PROTECT 2025 in Texas, the integration brings expanded mobility and visibility to March Networks' open-platform ecosystem.

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.

For Retail Environments:

  • Employee Safety & De-escalation: The visible, active camera presence helps deter verbal aggression and escalating behavior from customers once they realize 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 interdepartmental 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.
