Working with Maps
Maps provides an interface to arrange cameras according to their physical locations on a map, making it
easier to find the right camera and view to suit your needs.
Note: Maps supports world drawings, DWG, JPEG (raster), and PNG (raster) images.
Before you use Maps, configure Maps in VxToolbox. Refer to the VxToolbox section of this manual.
Understanding Maps Permissions
Maps uses the View Maps permission within the VX system. Camera permissions are applied to maps as
well. If a user lacks permissions to a particular camera, it will not appear on the map or in the list of
cameras the user can add to a map.
