ADDING MAPS
STEP 1. Click on the Map Config button.
STEP 2. Right click on the Map icon and
select Add Map.
STEP 3. Locate the map file you have
created in the normal manner by selecting
the Browse button. You will also have the
opportunity to name this map to a descriptive
or location name. This name can only
have letters or numbers and no spaces or
symbols.
You can add other maps at this time or
proceed to configuring your map. If you wish
to add other locations merely click on the
Map icon again and repeat the procedure.
If you wish to add a sub-map - showing a
smaller section, for instance - right click on
the larger scale “parent” map and add the
new map as normal.
Deleting a Map
Right-clicking on a map’s icon will give you the option to delete it from the list.
IMPORTANT! Deleting a map will delete all sub-maps associated with that
map.
Changing Map Names
Right-clicking on a map’s icon also allows you the option of changing the name of the map
(“node”) should you so desire.
MAP CONFIGURATION
You must have Map Config selected in addition to the map you want to configure. Click and
drag cameras from those available on the left side of the screen to their approximate locations
on the map. It is also important to ensure that the E-Map button is checked in the Local
Alarm Config window (See Section 4.2).
IMPORTANT! Cameras can not be placed on more than one map.
Hovering the mouse over a camera’s icon on the map will reveal its name.
You also have the ability to change the
camera’s icon which can help you quickly
identify the type of camera - such as a
PTZ unit - which has more features than a
standard camera.
