The Map object is used to register and configure the Map interface object in Axxon PSIM, which allows creating and positioning the icons of the installed devices on the map of the protected area and using the icons to operate the devices.
The settings panel of the Map object is shown in the figure:
Table describes the setting parameters corresponding to the elements of the settings panel of the Map object.
№ | Parameter | Method for setting the parameter value | Parameter description | Representation | Default value | Value range |
1 | Identification number | Automatically | Displays the identification number of the Map object in the digital video surveillance system with distributed architecture | Sequence of numbers | - | From 1 and above. Depends on the number of the Map objects in the digital video surveillance system with distributed architecture |
2 | Name | Enter the value into the field | Sets the name of the Map object in the digital video surveillance system with distributed architecture | Latin, Cyrillic and service characters | Map | A line containing a sequence of any characters (letters, digits, service characters except > and < characters), case-insensitive. Number of characters—from 1 to 60 |
3 | Disable | Set the checkbox | Sets the status of the Map object in the digital video surveillance system with distributed architecture | Boolean type | Clear | Set—the Map object is disabled and isn't used Clear—the Map object is enabled and used |
4 | Display | Select the value from the list | Sets the Display parent object of the digital system with distributed architecture to which the given Map object belongs | Name of the Display objects registered in the system | Name of the Display parent object. | Depends on the number of the Display objects in the digital video surveillance system with distributed architecture |
5 | Search alarmed links recursively | Set the checkbox | Sets if recursive search for the objects on the layers is possible. The recursive search is a search, where the transition from one layer, containing an object, to another layer, containing an icon, is performed by successive jumps to the the neighboring layers, using sequential links | Boolean type | Clear | Set—a recursive search is enabled Clear—a recursive search is disabled |
6 | Search depth | Enter the value into the field | Sets the search depth for alarms across map layers if the Map is multi-layered. This parameter determines how many layers will indicate the alarm. The value can only be entered if the Search alarmed links recursively checkbox is set. | Sequence of numbers | Clear | Empty field—search across layers is not limited; 0—related layers are not taken into account during search, that is, in case of alarm, only the layer on which the alarm occurred will blink; >0—indicates the number of layers through which the search will be performed. For example, the Map has 6 interconnected layers and the alarm appeared on the 3rd layer. If the key value=1, the alarm will blink on layer 3, as well as on layers 2 and 4 |
7 | Search for the shortest path | Set the checkbox | Enables the search for the shortest path to the alarmed layer. If there are several paths from the active layer to the alarmed layer, then the shortest path is automatically found and selected when the Alarm signal is received (only one icon, that is Link to layer, will blink in the active layer, indicating the shortest path). Works together with the Search alarmed links recursively option only | Boolean type | Clear | Set—search for the shortest path is enabled Clear—search for the shortest path is disabled |
8 | Over all windows when alarm | Set the checkbox | Sets if the window of the Map interface object can be displayed over all active applications in case the Alarm signal is received from any object of the Map interface object | Boolean type | Clear | Set—the window of the Map interface object is displayed over all active applications in case the Alarm signal is received from any object of the Map interface object Clear—the window of the Map interface object isn't displayed over all active applications in case the Alarm signal is received from any object of the Map interface object |
9 | Show video | Set the checkbox | Enables the function of live and archive video request from the map for cameras and objects linked with cameras | Boolean type | Clear | Set—the functions to request live and archive video are available in the menu of the Camera objects and objects linked with cameras Clear—the functions to request live and archive video are not available in the menu of the Camera objects and objects linked with cameras |
10 | Show frame | Set the checkbox | Enables the function of frame request from the map for cameras and objects linked with cameras | Boolean type | Clear | Set—the function to request archive frame is available in the menu of the Camera objects and objects linked with cameras Clear—the function to request archive frame is not available in the menu of the Camera objects and objects linked with cameras |

Autoswitch | Set the checkbox | Sets autoswitch to the Alarm layer in the Map interface object | Boolean type | Clear | Set—when Alarm is received from an object, the system will switch to the layer where the object is located Clear—when Alarm is received from an object, the system won't switch to the layer where the object is located | |
