Act quickly and responsibly.

The life of a security operator is not always straightforward. It’s their job to guarantee the safety and security of people, premises and assets. It requires them to be always on top of everything. Large-scale operations often span multiple geographical sites and feature thousands of cameras, sensors, audio devices, doors, and other input devices.

Getting a complete overview of a large security installation is no easy task.

With Smart Map, we make security operators’ lives easier.

Meet Smart Map in XProtect

Smart Map is a map function embedded in the XProtect Smart Client. With its native support for GIS maps and CAD drawings, and support for online map services like Google Maps and Bing Maps, it visualizes the elements of a surveillance system with geographical, accurate, real-world imagery.

With Smart Map, operators can

Visualize the VMS

It’s hard to remember where each camera is placed in installations that comprise thousands of cameras spread across multiple locations. With Smart Map, security officers get real-time visualizations of their unique installation with device icons displaying exact location, status, and fields of view.

Gain situational awareness

Smart Map helps the operators see their entire operation
and quickly identify potential threats or emergencies.
Alarms are displayed directly on the map, with live or recorded footage just a click away, so they can take immediately action.

Navigate effortlessly

Smart Map allows operators to navigate easily between different sites and locations via Quick Links placed directly on the Smart Map.
This functionality enables the operator to navigate their operation, regardless of size, efficiently.

With XProtect 2021 R1,
you can do even more with Smart Map
