Configuring map clustering options in Security Center

By default, groups of three or more map objects that are located close together are represented by blue cluster bubbles on a map. If you have a small number of cameras or other map objects on your map, you can reconfigure or disable this feature from the LnkMaps.config file.

To configure map clustering options in Security Center:

  1. Open the LnkMaps.config file, located in the ConfigurationFiles folder of your Security Center installation folder.
  2. To disable clustering, add the following code to the <Maps> line:
    EnableClustering="False"
  3. To disable clustering only if there are less than x number of map objects on your map, add the following code to the <Maps> line, and specify the desired number of map objects:
    ClusterMinObjectCount="500"
  4. To change the default number of map objects that must be close together in order for cluster bubbles to appear, add the following code to the <Maps> line, and change the number from 3 to the desired number:
    ClusterDensity="3"
  5. Save the LnkMaps.config file, and then restart Config Tool and Security Desk.
The next time you open Config Tool or Security Desk, the map clustering changes are made.
