Changing OpenStreetMap tile server

If you use OpenStreetMap as the geographic background for your smart map, you can change the location where the tiled images are retrieved. The tiled images make up the map. You do this by changing the tile server address. This allows you to use a local tile server, for example if your organization has its own maps for areas such as airports or harbors. Using a local server means that XProtect Smart Client can retrieve the map images without Internet access.

You can also use a commercial tile server. Milestone does not provide a tile server solution for OpenStreetMap.

The tile server address can be specified in two ways:

• In Management Client - you set the tile server address on the Smart Client profiles. The server address applies to all Smart Client users assigned to the individual Smart Client profiles.
• In XProtect Smart Client - you set the tile server address in the Settings dialog. The server address applies only to that Smart Client installation.
