Using access control with smart maps

Smart Maps in Milestone XProtect VMS display an interactive, real-time view of your organization's locations. Smart Maps display cameras, alarms, access control units, and other devices on a digital map of your locations to make it easier for you to monitor and respond to incidents.

You can use a smart map with your access control system to:

• Get an advanced overview of your locations: with all access control units mapped out on the smart map, you can quickly identify and address potential issues.

• Get visual feedback right away: when an event occurs, the door icon changes and when an alarm is triggered, the smart map shows the exact location of the alarm.

• Work with access control units directly on the smart map: adjust, lock or unlock access control units, acknowledge alarms, and carry out other tasks directly from the map interface.

• Monitor locations from a central view: manage multiple locations from a single map. Smart maps combine your security operations across locations into one view to help you carry out your work more efficiently.
