Configuring maps to display people counts

2026-09-29Last updated

Allow operators to monitor people counts directly from maps by adding secured areas to your map.

Before you begin

Make sure you have secured areas configured for people counting in your system.

Procedure

  1. In Genetec™ Configuration, open the Map designer task.
  2. Select a recent map or click Browse all maps to open an existing map.
  3. In the toolbar, click Area view (), select the secured area () you want to add, and drag it to where you want it to be on the map.
  4. Drag the corners of the four-sided shape to cover the physical space the secured area represents on the map.
    Use Shift+click to add or remove a point between two points.
  5. Use the Color and border widget to change the display attributes of the map object.
    Select Block field of view if the perimeter of the secured area corresponds to actual walls.
  6. (Optional) Click Unassigned in the Links widget to make the map object a map link.
    If you add multiple links to the map object, the operator must click three times to get to a link. The first click displays the entity that identifies the map object. The second click displays the choices of links. The third click selects a link.
  7. In the Map designer toolbar, click Save ().
