Introduction

GP10-Insight is a free companion desktop app for GuardPoint10. It connects to your GuardPoint10 server and gives you an overall view of your system in one place: live events, controller health, alarms, cardholders and muster lists.

It is not a replacement for the full GuardPoint10 workstation. Think of it as a lighter, cut-down app for quick system insight and everyday checks.

Required modules: GP10-API

GP10-Insight is free to use. The download is attached at the bottom of this article.

Prerequisites

• A GuardPoint10 server with the API module (GP10-API) enabled.
• A GuardPoint10 user with API access.
• A Windows PC that can reach the GuardPoint10 server on the network. The GP10 API typically uses port 10695.

Getting Started

GP10-Insight is a single exe file (around 18 MB). There is nothing to install.

1. Download GP10-Insight.zip from the bottom of this article, save it to your PC and unzip it.
2. Double-click the exe to run it.
   Windows SmartScreen may show a warning because the app is not signed. Click More info, then Run anyway.
3. On first run the Settingsscreen opens. Enter:
   • GuardPoint10 server address
   • Port (typically 10695)
   • Username and password
4. Click Test connection, then Save.

Your settings and data are stored in %APPDATA%\GuardPointDashboard.

Figure 1: The Settings screen opens on first run. Enter your server details, click Test connection, then Save.

Live Mode and Making Changes

GP10-Insight starts in demo mode, so you can look around safely. When you are ready, switch to live mode in Settings to see your own system.

Allow live changes is off by default, so the app is read-only. To edit cardholders, arm or disarm zones, or operate relays, turn on Allow live changes in Settings.

Voice and AI Assistant (optional)

You can add an optional xAI API key in Settings to enable the voice and AI assistant. Without a key, the built-in offline commands are used instead.

Click the ? button next to the microphone to see a list of what you can ask.

Troubleshooting

• Test connection fails: check the server address and port, that the API module is enabled, that the user has API access, and that the PC can reach the server on the network.
• Cannot edit or arm anything: turn on Allow live changes in Settings.
• Need help from us: use Tools and support > Collect logs and send the logs with your support request.
