Map Tab

Map Overview

You can show the locations of cameras you have configured with a camera marker on a Google map in the Map tab.

Add a camera marker with a mouse click, and it appears on the map as a small camera icon.

Each camera marker you add to the Map tab includes these features:

Camera Information and Selection

Click the marker to display traffic monitoring data for that camera, as well as a thumbnail image and a REMOVE button for deleting the marker.

If you click the thumbnail image, the selected camera displays in the Video tab.

Status Color The marker color reflects alerts about incidents (defined in the Settings tab).

Gray indicates no incidents or slow traffic conditions are detected.

Yellow indicates one of the following is detected: pedestrians, stopped vehicles, congestion, a specified speed threshold warning.

Red indicates one of the following is detected: A specified speed threshold alert or a wrong way vehicle.

The Map tab is a functional interface to Google Maps, so this function requires Internet access through a network connection for the associated TMC system.
