Maps

Maps can display the location of cameras, camera views, digital inputs and output devices, links, and labels in the Symphony Client interface.

Map Editor

The Map Editor is a component in the Symphony Client that you use to manage maps.

You can use the Map Editor to add maps to the Symphony Client. A map can be an image file (jpg, gif, or bmp file) or a map provided by a GIS service.

You can use the Map Editor to add cameras, camera views, digital inputs and output devices, links, and labels to a map. Items that you add to a map appear in and can add functionality to the map pane in the Symphony Client interface.



Map navigation

When you turn on map navigation, the Symphony Client interface displays the map pane.

Clicking an icon in the map pane performs the following actions:
  • Clicking a camera icon displays the camera view in the active video panel.
  • Clicking a camera view icon loads the camera view in the Symphony Client interface.
  • Right-clicking an output device opens a context menu with commands that you can send to the device.
