Set camera position, direction, field of view, and depth (smart map)

To ensure that a camera is positioned correctly on the smart map, you can set the GPS coordinates, the direction of the camera, the field of view, and the viewing depth. In doing so, automatically the camera is added to the smart map next time an operator loads it in XProtect Smart Client.

Steps:

In Management Client, expand the Devices node and select Cameras.
In the Devices pane, select the relevant camera group and camera.
On the Info tab, scroll down to Positioning information.
Specify the latitude and the longitude in the GPS coordinates field, in that order. Use a period as decimal separator and a comma to separate the values.
In the Direction field, enter a value in the range of 0 and 360 degrees.
In the Field of view field, enter a value in the range of 0 and 360 degrees.
In the Depth field, enter the viewing depth, either in meters or feet.
Save the changes.

You can also set the properties on the recording servers.
