About maps

Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.

With maps as an integrated part of alarms, you get a physical overview of your surveillance system: with the possibility to assign cameras to a map, you can always tell where alarms originate, which cameras are placed where, and in what direction are they pointing. Also, you can use maps to navigate from large perspectives to detailed perspectives, and vice versa: for example, a state map can have hot zones (small icons on the map) that point to more detailed maps including cities, neighborhoods, streets and floor plans.

All user-interaction with maps, including adding and maintaining maps, takes place in XProtect Smart Client.

For detailed information, see the XProtect Smart Client documentation. In order to use maps, the Event Server service must be running. The Event Server service is automatically included if you run a Typical installation of your surveillance server installation.
