If Auto maximize map is enabled and your map position in the view is part of a view with several view
positions, the map is automatically maximized to full screen after a period of time as defined in setup
mode in the Properties pane. To revert to the original view, double-click the map anywhere outside of
any added elements.
Frequently asked questions: maps
Which image file formats and sizes can I use for maps?
You can use bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, tif, tiff, and wmp file formats for maps.
Image file size and resolution should preferably be kept under 10 MB and 10 megapixels. If you use
larger image files, this can cause low performance in the XProtect Smart Client. You cannot use
images larger than 20 MB and/or 20 megapixels.
Maps are displayed in the XProtect Smart Client on the basis of the graphic file's properties, and
adhering to Microsoft standards. If a map appears small, you can zoom in.
Can I change the background of a map but keep the cameras in their relative positions?
Yes. If you need to update the map but want to keep all the information on it, you can just replace the
map background (if you have the necessary map edit rights). This allows you to keep all your
cameras, and other elements in their relative positions on a new map. Select Change map
background, by right-clicking the map or in the Properties pane.
