The Plаns subsection

The Plans subsection enables the user to overlay detailed floor plans of premises, buildings, or areas. On these plans, the user can precisely mark the location and viewing angle of each camera. This feature provides a visual representation of how cameras will interact with the surrounding space.

In this documentation section, you find a comprehensive guide of how to manage plans and plan groups in the Desktop app. For details, see these pages:
