The map feature is only available for selected surveillance systems. A map position does not display live video, a map is always a still image.
With a map, you get a physical overview of your surveillance system. You can instantly see which cameras are placed where, and in what direction they are pointing. You can use maps for navigation. Maps can be grouped into hierarchies, so you can drill down through hot zones, from large perspectives to detailed perspectives, for example, from city level to street level, or from building level to room level.
Maps may contain elements representing cameras, microphones and similar technology. You can view recorded video from cameras in a preview window when you move your mouse over a camera icon on the map. The status information in playback mode is not based on recorded data, but retrieved from the elements' current status, as displayed in live mode.

Maps do not have to be geographical maps, although they often are. Depending on your organization's needs, photos and other kinds of image files can also be used as maps.
Note: Maps are not the same as a smart map. For more information, see Maps and smart map features in XProtect Smart Client.
