Monitor Map
This guide explains how to monitor and control the real-time status of doors and cameras by zone and floor using the map monitoring feature. Map monitoring allows for easy navigation of areas and floors through a visual interface integrated with Google Maps, enabling various features such as access door control and camera video playback.
To access the Monitoring page, click Monitoring in the Launcher or select Monitoring from the menu at the top left of the screen.
In BioStar X, you can configure multiple floors in one area. In one floor, you can set up the door and camera based on the drawing for monitoring. Please refer to the below.
As shown in the figure, you can integrate the configured regions with Google Maps to monitor and control doors and cameras by accessing them in order: Area → Floor on the map. This structure can also be seen in the sidebar of the Monitoring page.
