Smart map (troubleshooting)

If you do not see any cameras or other devices on your smart map, then likely the system elements layer is hidden. To enable the system elements layer, see Show or hide layers on smart map.

If there are one or more devices that should, but do not appear on the smart map, then likely the devices have not been geographically positioned. To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

• Drag the devices onto the smart map from the device hierarchy. This requires that editing of devices is enabled on your user profile
• Ask your system administrator to specify the geo coordinates in the device properties in XProtect Management Client

You are trying to add devices to a smart map manually in XProtect Smart Client. A probable cause is that you are running XProtect Smart Client 2017 R1 against an XProtect Corporate 2017 R2 installation. XProtect Smart Client looks for the position of the device on the event server, but in version 2017 R2 or newer of XProtect Corporate the geo coordinates are stored on the management server.

To resolve the issue, upgrade XProtect Smart Client to version 2017 R2 or newer.

You have selected a search result, but the associated device is not displayed on the smart map in the preview area. The reason is that the device has not been geographically positioned. To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

• Go to your smart map and add the device. See Add devices to smart map
• Ask your system administrator to specify the geo coordinates in the device properties in XProtect Management Client
