📘

This is an advanced feature

Make sure to review the topic How to Upload a file before this section.

Genetec Clearance supports a coordinates trail display feature during video playback. In order to support this feature, the video evidence must fulfill these criteria:

  • The evidence must be uploaded using the API.
  • An additional coordinates trail resource file must be sent along with the video file resource before completion.

The requirement is that the resource file has the mimetype genetec/video-location and content similar to this:

{
   "CoordinateEntries":[
      {

public class Coordinates
{
  public List<CoordinateEntry> CoordinateEntries { get; set; }
}

public class CoordinateEntry
{
  public string LocationWKT { get; set; }

  public double SecondsFromStart { get; set; }

  public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }
