2023-06-27

On georeferenced maps in the Maps task, you can view the location Genetec™ Mobile users, send them messages, and view video from their mobile phones.

Before you begin

You must have the View mobile users privilege to view mobile users on maps.
For mobile users to be displayed on maps, the Share location option must be enabled in their Genetec Mobile application. For more information, see "Configuring Genetec™ Mobile settings" in the Genetec™ Mobile Getting Started Guide.

Procedure

From the vertical navigation bar, click Maps.
Click the Select map list and select a georeferenced map.

Markers representing active Genetec Mobile users are automatically displayed on the map. By default, these markers display cardholder pictures. If there is no cardholder picture available, the marker displays the user's initials.
To search for a Genetec Mobile user, enter the user's first and last names or initials in the Search field.
To view the last time stamp of the user, hover over their user marker.
Click a Genetec Mobile user marker to display the following user information in a side panel:

- Email address.
- Last recorded location.
- Live video feed from the user's mobile phone.
Send a message to the mobile user:
