Introduction

Assets are devices (such as a video camera) or objects (such as a vehicle) that are directly or indirectly connected to a GMM gateway that is managed by GMM.

Asset Types are used to describe and group assets for management and identification. For example, you can create an Asset Type for buses that include a license plate number, VIN number, and other attributes that describe the vehicle. An Asset Type for a DVR could include attributes for an IP address, MAC address, etc.
