E-Map Setup

Overview

The E-Map function allows to lay out cameras on a map for quick launch of a specific camera.

Positioning of the cameras, controls and sensors is done on an existing digital drawing/map. The map appears on the main screen and allows quick access to the desired camera by simply clicking on its representative icon. Clicking on a camera’s icon will display that camera in fullscreen mode.

E-map does not allow manual activation of a control. However, if a control/sensor is triggered, it will be registered on the E-map. The icons representing the sensors/controls will be animated.

E.g. If the control that turns on the light is activated, the light icon on the E-map will flash.
