Geographic backgrounds

You can use the following services as the geographic backgrounds of your smart mapClosedA map functionality that uses a geographic information system to visualize devices (for example, cameras and microphones), structures, and topographical elements of a surveillance system in geographically accurate, real-world imagery. Maps that use elements of this functionality are called smart maps.:

  • Bing Maps

  • Google Maps

  • Milestone Map Service

  • OpenStreetMap

After you have selected the geographic background, you can add the devices, for example cameras, and custom overlays, for example shapefiles. For more information, see Custom overlays.
