If you have created a virtual map of an area, including the locations of all cameras and security devices added to the XProtect VMS, you can add this map to your views to improve situational awareness.

1. Select the view.

2. On the workspace toolbar, select Setup.

3. On the System overview pane, drag the Map item to a view item in your view.

4. Select either Create new map or Use existing map. A triangle next to a map name indicates that the map might include at least one sub-map. The sub-maps are also added.

5. If you have selected Create new map, in the Name field, enter a name for the map

6. Select Browse to find and select the image file you want to use as a map.

7. Select Setup again to exit setup mode and save your changes.

   If your view includes a map view item, also having a hotspot view item enables users to quickly select different cameras on the map and view their video in the hotspot
