Moving vehicle tracking

How can I display moving vehicles on a map in Milestone XProtect?

Use ORBNET Live Maps to receive changing vehicle coordinates and display their positions directly inside Milestone XProtect Smart Client.

Location data can be received from supported ONVIF GPS metadata or from a telematics platform, tracking system or third-party application connected through the Live Maps REST API. Live Maps associates the incoming data with a vehicle or tracked object and updates its position as new coordinates arrive.

1

Provide location data

A vehicle, GPS device, camera, tracker or telematics platform supplies its current location and tracked-object identity.

2

Connect the source

Send the coordinates to Live Maps using supported ONVIF GPS metadata or an integration built with the Live Maps REST API.

3

Update the map

Live Maps places the vehicle on the operational map and updates its marker whenever new location data is received.

4

Investigate and respond

Operators can use the vehicle marker alongside related cameras, alarms, device information and historical movement data.

Location-data requirement: Live Maps visualises coordinates supplied by a device or integrated system. It does not infer a vehicle’s GPS position from video alone.

Live Maps vehicle-tracking questions

Can Milestone XProtect display moving vehicle positions?

Yes. ORBNET Live Maps can display and update moving vehicle positions inside XProtect Smart Client when location data is provided by a supported source or external integration.

What location sources can Live Maps use?

Live Maps supports location data from supported ONVIF GPS metadata and external systems connected through its REST API, including compatible tracking and telematics platforms.

Can operators replay historical vehicle movement?

Yes. Live Maps can retain and replay movement history to support route analysis, incident review and security investigations.

Can Live Maps track more than vehicles?

Yes. It can visualise compatible location data for drones, people, mobile assets and other tracked objects supplied through supported metadata or API integrations.
