How to access maps in SEiNG

Log into SEiNG. You’ll see your existing maps on your SEiNG dashboard. To navigate to the maps tab:

Go to sites on the sidebar menu (indicated by green square on image)
On the top navigation bar, click Maps (indicated by yellow square on image)
You’ll now see any existing maps and be able to add new ones

How to add a new SEiNG map

Click the blue “add new” button on the maps tab
Name your map and choose the file
Click save

You can edit these details at any time by clicking on the orange “Edit” icon next to your map name.

How to add devices on a SEiNG map

Select the map you want to edit
Select the device you’d like to plot
Click on the map. Your device will now show as a dot, with a shaded area to indicate field of view
To reposition the device, click and drag the dot
To accurately represent your device's coverage, simply click and drag the shaded area to adjust the field of view

You'll notice that your camera icon colour changes to show activity in that area. It'll show as red if there's no activity, or green if there is.

How to view live footage within a SEiNG map

Click on the eye icon within the shaded field of view of your device (green square on image)
A modal window will pop up showing a live stream of your footage
If user permissions allow, you can use the relevant buttons within the window to switch between standard or high definition, PTZ, trigger outputs

You can open multiple cameras at once, if you want to see what’s happening across your site
