Smart map (explained)

This feature is only available in certain XProtect VMS systems. For more information, see the product comparison chart: https://www.milestonesys.com/products/software/xprotect-comparison/

In XProtect® Smart Client and inXProtect Mobile, the smart map feature lets you view and access devices at multiple locations around the world in a geographically correct way. Unlike maps, where you had a different map for each location, smart map gives you the big picture in a single view.

The following configuration of the smart map feature is done in Management Client:

  • Configure the geographic backgrounds that you can choose for your smart map. This includes integrating your smart map with one of the following services:

    • Bing Maps

    • Google Maps

    • Milestone Map Service

    • OpenStreetMap

  • Enable Bing Maps or Google Maps in XProtect Management Client or in XProtect Smart Client
  • Enable editing of smart maps, including devices, in XProtect Smart Client
  • Position your devices geographically in XProtect Management Client
  • Set up your smart map with Milestone Federated Architecture
