A floor plan provides a birds-eye view of a location by outlining where critical areas of your business are located such as entrances, exits, inventory storage, manager's offices, and employee lockers. Solink's Floor Plan feature allows you to visualize how your camera system is setup to provide security and protection for your business. Having easy access to the layout of your cameras is helpful for:
🔍 Investigations: Easily identify other camera angles that might catch critical evidence helping you close more cases.
🔒 Security: Quickly perform security audits by identifying blind-spots or areas with insufficient camera coverage.
🔧 Operations: Remove the guesswork when you need to fix a camera that goes offline or needs to be serviced.
