Map

This Map section empowers video surveillance administrators with a consolidated set of tools for comprehensive camera management and administration on the interactive map. Beyond providing an overview of cameras on a geographic map, administrators can now seamlessly add new cameras, remove unwanted ones, and modify their coordinates directly within the Map section.

The main capabilities of the map are as follows:

  • Add a camera to the map.

  • Overview of cameras on a geographic map.

  • Zoom in and out on the map.

  • Filter cameras by status.

  • Watch video from a camera.

  • Place camera Live feed on the map.

Cameras in the same or nearby locations are clustered into groups. The group icon indicates the camera count within a cluster. Selecting the icon presents a detailed list of cameras within that specific cluster. Selecting a camera name opens the camera preview window.

As a result, only cameras with the selected cameras will be displayed on the map.

Camera tree

The Camera tree provides administrators with a convenient and quick way to access the list of cameras, significantly simplifying the process of searching for and integrating cameras into the map. With the color-coding system, each camera is displayed in the tree in a color that corresponds to its current status, allowing administrators to easily spot cameras that require immediate attention.

Cameras located on the map are identified with a geolocation icon in the camera tree. Selecting a camera name in the tree centers the map view on that camera's location.
