Maps and Smart Maps

In XProtect Smart Client, you find two map features designed to improve your situational awareness: Map and Smart Map.

With both map features, you can create a virtual presentation of the area you protect. You can place icons representing the different cameras and other devices added to your XProtect VMS system in the locations where the cameras and other devices are mounted.

In XProtect Smart Client, you can interact with a camera or device by selecting the icon presenting the camera or device on the map.

If a rule registers an event or triggers an alarm, the icon representing the camera or device related to the event or alarm is highlighted. This helps you identify where an incident has happened in your area or buildings.

The Smart Map feature is more advanced than the Map feature. With the Map feature, you can only use still images to visualize your area and buildings.

With the Smart Map feature, you can combine geographic information systems like Google Maps, Bing Maps, and OpenStreetMap with still images and CAD drawings to accurately reflect the geography of your areas and floor plans of your buildings. This gives you a more exact overview of your cameras in one or multiple locations.
