Esri ArcGISCase and Records Management
A Point on Your Own Basemap Opens the Video
This connector is not prebuilt. It would be built to your requirement on the REST API and the platform's own geospatial mapping, with scope and effort agreed per engagement. ArcGIS is the geographic information system most public sector organizations already run for mapping, asset location and spatial analysis, and it is usually the only map the organization trusts. The value here is not another map but the ability to plot recordings against that one.
What you can do together
- Follow a drone or vehicle recording along its track on the basemap the authority already trusts, rather than on a separate map nobody has validated.
- Click a point and open the video at that moment, which is the part that makes a map useful in an investigation rather than decorative.
- See recordings beside the asset, boundary and jurisdiction layers that ArcGIS already holds, so a location means something.
- Have a workflow select footage by area rather than by folder, when the question is spatial.
How it connects
Position data extracted from footage is what gets plotted. A drone or vehicle recording carries position over time, and the platform already links that to the timeline, so a moment on the map resolves to a moment in the video and back again. The connection would place those points against the authority's own basemap and layers over the ArcGIS REST interface rather than rendering a map of its own.
Which direction the integration runs is the question an engagement settles first, because the two options look similar and cost differently. Publishing points into ArcGIS as a layer means the recordings appear in the map everyone already uses, beside the asset and boundary layers that give them meaning. Consuming ArcGIS layers into the platform's map instead means the basemap and layers surround the video where the video is watched. Which one is right depends on where the work actually happens, and it is worth naming that before anything is built.
ArcGIS would stay the geographic system of record. Layers, projections, asset data and spatial analysis stay with Esri, and the platform contributes position and a link back to the footage. Position data comes from what the footage carries, so a recording with no position track has nothing to plot, and an engagement would establish which sources carry one.

A scenario
- ScopingThe engagement would agree the direction of the integration, which recordings carry a position track, and which ArcGIS layers matter.
- SetupThe connection would be configured once, with inspection flights publishing as a layer against the authority's existing basemap.
- After a flightThe track appears on the map beside the bridge asset layer, each point linked to its moment in the recording.
- An assessmentAn engineer opens the point over a specific span and the video plays from that second, rather than scrubbing a forty-minute flight.
- A year laterThe same span is inspected again, and the two tracks sit on one map for comparison.
What stays where
ArcGIS remains the geographic system of record
Basemaps, layers, projections and spatial analysis stay with Esri.
Position comes from the footage
A recording without a position track has nothing to plot, which is a property of the source rather than of the connection.
The link runs both ways between map and timeline
A point resolves to a moment in the video, and the video's timeline resolves back to the map.
Processing runs where you deploy the platform
Shared or dedicated SaaS, your own cloud, on premises, or air-gapped, with a network path to ArcGIS where it is hosted.
