Maps , Cameras , and 
Camera-Views  
  These 'tabs' show a list of the presently 
defined Maps and Cameras. Click-and-drag 
items to the desired location. 
Tip: For items that have already been placed on 
the left, you can click the item to have it identified 
on the right. (Try it! ) 
To remove an item from a 'view', drag the item 
back into the list (or drag to item called "No Selection" 
to the item's location). 
Notes: Each item can appear only once
 within a 
single view. The software will attempt to connect with 
cameras right-away. 
Camera-views
: These allow you to set where specific 
types of event-triggered camera images will appear 
(for each view that uses this feature). Each camera-
view shows the last-triggered camera associated with 
it. Be sure to use additional camera-views for 
cameras that are to appear in different locations on-
screen. (For more information, see step 3b.) 
Step 3a: Place Items onto Maps (Doors, 
Sensors, etc.) 
Customizing maps pertains to placing objects 
on specific maps
 to enable visual monitoring, 
and status/control features. 
Attention: Items added to a specific map here will 
appear on that map in every 'view' that contains it. (To 
avoid this, you can copy a map and save it as a new 
one, or create new map(s) using the same image file. 
For details, see step 1a.)
