Adding intrusion detection areas as shapes on maps

2026-09-16Last updated

To enable operators to visualize intrusion detection areas and monitor state changes, add intrusion detection areas to your maps as shapes.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. In Genetec™ Configuration, open the Map designer task.
  2. Select a map by doing one of the following:
    • Click a recent map.
    • Click Browse all maps and select a map.
    • Click Create and follow the configuration wizard to create a new map.
  3. In the Shapes section of the vertical toolbar, click a shape, and draw the shape on the map.
    To draw a polygon:
    • Click once to add an endpoint.
    • Click the first endpoint to close the shape.
    • Use Shift+click to add or remove a point between two points.
    • Double-click a point to complete the shape without closing it.
  4. From the side panel, click the Identity list and select the intrusion area to link to the shape.
  5. (Optional) To make the shape a map link, click the Links list and select a map.
The map displays the intrusion area as a shape on the map and reflects intrusion state changes.
