The Settings panel of the Map object

The Map object is designed to register and configure the Map interface object in the Intellect system, which allows creating and mapping the symbols of the installed devices in the controlled territory and to use the symbols to operate the devices. The settings panel of the Map object is shown in the figure.

The table describes the parameters of the settings corresponding to the elements of the settings panel of the Map object.

№	Parameter	Method for entering the parameter	Parameter description	Symbols used	Default value	Value range
1	Identification number*	Automatically	Displays the identification number of the Map object in the digital distributed video surveillance system.	Sequence of numbers	-	From 1 and above. Depends on the number of Map objects in the digital distributed video surveillance system
2	Name*	Enter the value in the box	Displays the name of the Map object in the digital distributed video surveillance system.	Latin, Cyrillic and service characters	Map	A line containing a sequence of any symbols (letters, digits, service characters apart from > and < symbols), not case-sensitive Number of symbols – from 1 to 60.
3	Disable	Is identified by the check mark	Displays the status of the Map object in the digital distributed video surveillance system.	Boolean type	No	Yes – the Map object is disabled and is not in use No – the Map object is enabled and is in use.
4	Display	Is selected from the list	Defines the parent Display object of the digital distributed system, to which the given Map object refers.	Names of the Display objects registered in the system.	Name of the parent Display object.	Depends on the number of Display objects in the digital distributed video surveillance system
5	Search alarmed links recursively	Is identified by the check mark	Defines, if recursive search for the objects in the levels is possible. The recursive search means a search, where the transfer from one level, containing an object, to another level, containing a symbol, follows a gradual pattern of moving to the neighboring levels, using consecutive references.	Boolean type	No	Yes – a recursive search for objects is switched on. No – a recursive search for objects is switched off.
6	Search for the shortest path	Is identified by the check mark	Enables the search of the sortest path to the alarmed layer, if several paths from the active layer are available. The path is calculated automatically. Only the Link to Layer with the shortest path will blink in the active layer. Can be enabled only together with the Seek Alarm Links Recursively checkbox.
7	Over all windows when alarm	Is identified by the check mark	Defines, if the window of the Map interface object can be displayed above all active applications in case of an alarm from any object of the Map interface object.	Boolean type	No	Yes - the window of the Map interface object will be displayed above all active applications in case of an alarm from any object of the Map interface object. No - the window of the Map interface object will not be displayed above all active applications in case of an alarm from any object of the Map interface object.
8	Show frame	Set the checkbox checked	Enables the function of frame request from map for cameras and objects linked with cameras.	Boolean type	No	Yes – the command to request frame are available in the menu of Camera objects and objects linked with cameras. No – the command to request frame is not available in the menu of Camera objects and objects linked with cameras.

9	X	Enter the value in the box	Defines a coordinate in the X horizontal axis for the upper left corner of the window of the Map interface object on the screen.	% of the screen width.	Not defined	From 0 to M*100, where M is the number of video monitors installed.
10	Y	Enter the value in the box	Defines a coordinate in the Y vertical axis for the upper left corner of the window of the Map interface object on the screen.	% of the screen height.	Not defined	From 0 to M*100, where M is the number of video monitors installed.
11	W	Enter the value in the box	Defines the width of the window of the Map interface object.	% of the screen width.	Not defined	From 0 to M*100, where M is the number of video monitors installed.
12	H	Enter the value in the box	Defines the height of the window of the Map interface object.	% of the screen width.	Not defined	From 0 to M*100, where M is the number of video monitors installed.
13	Auto switch	Is identified by the check mark	Activates an auto switch to the Alarm source level in the Map interface object.	Boolean type	Not available	Yes – in case of an alarm from an object, the system will switch to the source level, where the object is located. No – in case of an alarm from an object, the system will not switch to the source level, where the object is located.
14	Monitor	Is selected in the list	The number of monitor in OS for which coordinates are specifying	Numbers of monitors	1	1-9
15	Create map copy	Press the button.	Creates another Map object with all parameters identical to the given object.	-	-	-
16	Object tracking monitor	Select in the list	Select the object tracking monitor. Find details in the Using absolute telemetry section of Installing and configuring security system components guide.	Names of available Monitor objects	-	Depends on the number of Monitor objects created in the system
17	Upload from DB	Set the checkbox	Enables uploading events from database to show on the Map	Boolean type	No	Yes – the events are uploaded from database on Intellect startup, so the events before and after the Intellect start can be seen on the Map. No – only events emerged after the Intellect start are displayed on the Map.
18	Show last __ events in info window	Enter the value in the box	Sets the number of events of the selected object to be shown in the info window on the Map.	Sequence of numbers	10	>=0
Help windows for events table
19	Type	Select in the list	When the event comes in from the object type specified in this parameter, the tooltip with the name of the event is displayed.	Types of objects created in the system	-	Depends on the number of objects created in the system
20	id	Select in the list	When the event comes in from the object identifier specified in this parameter, the tooltip with the name of the event is displayed.	Identifiers of objects of the selected type created in the system	-	Depends on the number of objects created in the system
21	Name	Automatically	When the event comes in from the object name specified in this parameter, the tooltip with the name of the event is displayed.	Names of the objects of the selected type created in the system	-	Depends on the number of objects created in the system
22	Event	Select in the list	When the event with the name specified in this parameter comes in, the tooltip is displayed.	Events of the objects of the selected type	-	Depends on the object type
23	Delay	Enter the value in the box	Sets the time period in seconds for the tooltip to be displayed.	Integer value	-	>=0
24	Smoothing method	Select in the list	Sets the map smoothing method when scaling.	Smoothing method names	-	low quality high quality bilinear interpolation bicubic interpolation nearest neighbor method high quality bilinear interpolation high quality bicubic interpolation
