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 items 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 to:
-
Get an advanced overview of your locations: with all security items mapped out on the smart map, you can quickly identify and address potential issues.
-
Get visual feedback right away: when an alarm is triggered, the smart map shows the exact location, allowing you to quickly assess and respond to the situation.
-
Navigate to items efficiently: access live camera feeds by selecting icons on the smart map. Navigate between different areas without searching through lists.
-
Control security devices and access control units directly on the smart map: adjust cameras, acknowledge alarms, lock or unlock access control units, 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.
On smart maps, you can zoom out to see all of your locations in multiple cities, regions, countries, and continents, and quickly go to each location to view video from the associated cameras.
Example: on a smart map, you can review footage from cameras at your facilities in one place, then zoom out, pan across the world with a single drag of the mouse, and then zoom in on the cameras in your facilities in a different geographic location.
Smarts Maps can connect with online services, such as Milestone Map service, Google Maps, or Bing Maps, that contain the physical locations that your organization protects.
Most Smart Map functionality is available in all versions of Milestone XProtect VMS. Note that support for Google Maps, Bing Maps, and CAD file overlays is available in XProtect® Corporate and XProtect Expert only.
