3.10.5 Maps
The maps configuration option gives the operator all the flexibility to navigate between maps in any direction,
including recursive flows. This option allows adding cameras into a map with a simple “drag & drop” operation. It
is also possible to change the camera icon orientation to adjust the picture to actual installation layout.
It is possible to create maps at any browser level. Just select one browser level and press the “New” button.
In fact, a map is an image file that you can choose through a standard Windows® explorer browser by clicking
the “Change image” button.
It can be one of the following formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WMF and RLE.
Adding cameras
The maps and the cameras are visible in the browser control. Just “drag & drop” a camera into the map and put
it into its correct position.
To rotate the camera icon, click on a camera border (white circle) and move it on the appropriate direction.
Adding map navigation zones
It is possible to “drag & drop” a map into another map. This will create a navigation area (map link).
During operation, if an operator clicks that area, the source map will be changed by the referenced map. It is
possible to create “loops” between maps in order to implement a logical “back” operation.
On the example above the “exit” region is linked to another map. You can “drag & drop” and resize it as
convenient.
Removing maps components
To remove any map component (camera or map links), just right-click on that component and then press “Delete
camera” or “Delete link” option.
