Multi layer map layouts
Answered
To organize bigger enterprise systems it would be good to have multi-layer maps.
I would also like to see features like;
- Soft triggers on layout/map
- Add icons and graphis and link them to resources like cameras, I/Os

Guys, two year ago I asked you for e-maps. I don't see them in 4.0 release.
So when do you plan to release them ?
Meanwhile I have managed to integrate Nx with Google Maps quite nicely, but I still prefer your genuine solution.
All customers tell us the same. Without e-maps there is no VMS. For a start simple e-map with flexible interactive icons changing colors, pulsing depending on current alarm state. Users can assign to those icons:
- event
- camera
- input/output
- action
- popup thumbnail (with option to open larger window or even fullscreen)
- etc.
Of course you need to think about automatically displaying e-map alarm in alarm window, and configure many map levels (for example click stairway to open map level up/down). -
Tomasz - we already support e-maps functionality with soft-triggers (yes, they're limited to cameras right now) and a built-in browser that users can use to build completely custom map experiences by combining tools like Google Maps, Open Streetmaps, and Mapbox and our REST Server API.
In my experience each customer wants a custom map experience. As a result we're looking to add more "widgets" for the Desktop client in the future (like programmable stand-alone soft triggers, counters, etc) but that won't come for a couple releases at least. -
Yeah the best solution is to use Google maps !
In a big city, it is very difficult to build a map with only one background image.
Maybe we can add more than one image to build the map, and also add the possibility to have multi-level maps.
Also if it's a big city, being able to have a general map of the city, having several zones for each neighborhood, and being able to go into a neighborhood, then having several zones in a neighborhood and go into it. Then be able to go back.
So you can navigate in several areas of the city, if the person enters a store for example, and if you also have the management of these cameras, we could directly enter the store map and continue to follow the person inside.Last, maybe add the possibility to add text on the maps.
I have several requests to do this kind of thing but I know it's not possible at the moment...
My clients are currently using google maps on one screen and the cameras on another.
When you have to manage several hundred cameras it's not practical.I think the best solution is to use gps location to set the camera positon in google maps for example... ?

This is something we really need. I do not know how many project we have lost because of lacking mapping features, but the list is getting way to long.
For projects with a lot of small locations the current solution works well. But for larger installations they do demand more from the VMS mapping capabilities and information displayed on the maps. -
Avons-nous des nouvelles concernant cette fonctionnalité?
Tomasz Polus comment avez vous fais pour ajouter grâce à l'api rest ?

Bonjour HILAIRE David [EIFFAGE ENERGIE SYSTEMES],
Cette fonctionnalité est désormais disponible dans NxMaps, intégré prochainement dans la Gen 6 de NxWitness Enterprise (disponible début Septembre).
