Configuring a map

  1. Select the map in the overview.
  2. Change the name of the map, if required.
  3. Select a custom icon for the map, if available (see Managing sound and icon files with Custom Media).
  4. Click the Background image button, and then select the desired background image (e.g. building floor plan).
  5. Drag the available cameras or buttons required for the desired site from the list to the background image.
  6. Use the slider to set the relative size of the camera or button and the angle of view.
    You can also set the exact angle of view by entering the angle in the text box.
  7. Activate Show circles to indicate the viewing angle and direction of the cameras in the map. The circles will be displayed for all cameras in the map.
  8. To hide the circles of a specific camera, set the camera's angle of view to "0".
  9. Use the slider to set the angle of rotation.
  10. Select Display text to display the name of the camera or button in the image.
  11. Click the Delete button to remove the camera or button and all its settings from the image.
  12. To cover a button (and thereby making it possible to select it in surveillance mode) with an irregular shape, click Polygon.
  13. Specify the color and transparency of the polygon.
  14. Draw the polygon by clicking into the image around a button. Only one button can be covered by one polygon.
  15. Close the polygon by double clicking.
  16. If necessary, draw multiple polygons.
  17. Apply the set values if you want to make further settings.
  18. Save the set values to apply the values and conclude input.
