Map is an interactive graphic diagram of a distributed system used to monitor and control external system devices (cameras, microphones, sensors, relays).

Security devices are displayed on the Map as symbols: status is displayed for each device. Access to the device functions is provided via the function menu, which is called up by a right mouse click on the required device image on the Map. Macros are also displayed in the Map as symbols. Macros are started from the function menu of the given macro symbol.

If the distributed system diagram has only one level (for instance, one protected floor of a building), the Map will consist of one level depicting the system diagram (single level map). If the protected territory has a few levels (for instance, a multi-floor protected building), the Map will be made up of a corresponding number of levels, where each level will depict a system diagram of the corresponding level (multilevel map). Additionally, the system diagram may be shown on the Map broken down into conventional fields and regions.

If the Map is multilevel, you must switch between the layers of the Map. To enable this, special links between the Map layers are established at the program configuration stage. To switch between the Map layers, use the interlayer link button. Additionally, the interlayer link button shows the device status on the corresponding Map layer. In addition, automated switch-over between the Map layers and recursive search for alarm links in the Map are supported.
