What is a connector?
A connector is the link between TRULEO and one of your existing systems — your records management system (RMS), body-worn camera (BWC) platform, jail-call provider, or evidence system. Once a connector is in place, data flows into TRULEO automatically instead of being uploaded by hand. This article explains what connectors are and how to get one set up.
What a connector does
A connector lets TRULEO pull from a system your agency already uses, for example:
- RMS — Tyler Technologies, Enterprise Records, and other records systems
- BWC — body-worn camera platforms such as 10-8, GETAC, Axon, and Utility
- Jail calls — providers such as Paytel and Securus
- Evidence — evidence.com case imports
With a connector configured, footage, calls, and case files appear in TRULEO automatically — no manual upload step.
How to set one up
Connectors are set up with help from TRULEO — your IT team doesn't have to build anything alone.
- Identify the system you want to connect (RMS name, BWC platform, jail-call provider, or evidence system).
- Contact your TRULEO representative or support@truleo.co to start the connector.
- TRULEO confirms what's needed — typically an API connection, credentials, or an on-premise agent depending on the system.
- TRULEO configures and tests the connector with your IT contact, then enables the data flow.
Free trial vs. paid connectors
- Free trials use a set of standard, ready-to-go connectors so you can get started quickly.
- Paid and pilot accounts can add custom connectors (such as a specific RMS). These are scoped during the sales/onboarding process.
What your IT team should have ready
- The name and version of the system being connected
- Admin or API access to that system, or a contact who has it
- For on-premise systems, a Windows machine that can run the TRULEO desktop agent
Best practices
- Start the connector conversation early in onboarding — some integrations need IT coordination.
- Have one IT point of contact who can grant access and answer technical questions.
- If you're not sure a system can connect, ask — TRULEO supports a wide and growing list of RMS, BWC, and jail-call platforms.
