This screen shows your selected view
with its associated maps and cameras,
along with the areas and devices that
have been placed on each map (so
far).
To select (or search for) a desired 'view',
see step 2 (previous/above).
Navigating: You can enlarge
(double-click), and zoom/scroll
within maps as desired.
For details on: What the Device Icons
mean, and how to scroll and zoom within a
map, refer to:
"Moving Around and 'Zooming' in or Out"
(under "Maps and Video (Visual Monitoring
& Status/Control)", previous).
To position objects on a map:
Drag the symbol for your desired
item-type (upper left) to the
desired location on each specific
map. When you 'drop' the item in
place, you'll be asked to select the
specific area or device.
Creating a Link to a Camera or Another
Map: The 'link' icon (arrow) allows linking
to a camera or other map, and setting the
location it will appear. When you drop the
link icon in place, a form will appear
showing defined maps and cameras, with a
copy of the present view. To complete the
link, drag the item to the desired location
(or select the item, then the location).
Then, click [OK].
Removing an Item from a Map
: Right-click
the item, and select Delete from the pop-up
menu.
Note: If the menu does not include a "Delete"
selection, right-click the item again.
Step 3b: Set Up Event-Triggered
Camera-Views
Doors and sensors on maps can be associated
with a 'camera-view' to trigger a camera when
selected events occur at the device (access
denied, sensor tripped, etc.).
Notes: This feature pertains to individual 'views' (i.e.,
the map and 'camera-views' must be on the same
'View', and the camera images will be visible only when
that 'view' is displayed. Conversely, "Advanced
Camera Settings" (camera-view assignments) on a
specific map will apply to ALL 'views' that contain the
same map, though the camera(s) will be visible only for
'views' that contain the target 'camera-view'.
Panel Firmware

version 4.15 or 4.2 (where available) or newer.
