The settings panel of the Map object

1

The Identification number*
field

Automatically

Displays the identification number of the Map object in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture

Sequence of numbers

NA

From 1 to 2147483647.

Depends on the number of the Map objects in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture

2

The Name*
field

Enter the value in the field

Sets the name of the Map object in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture

Latin alphabet, Cyrillic, digits, 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

The Disable
checkbox

Set the checkbox

Sets the status of the Map object in the 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

The Display
drop-down list

Select the value from the list

Sets the Display parent object of the system with distributed architecture to which the given Map object belongs

Names of the Display objects registered in the system

Name of the Display parent object

Depends on the number of the Display objects in the video surveillance system with distributed architecture

5

The Search alarmed links recursively
checkbox

Set the checkbox

Sets the recursive search for the objects on the layers. 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 neighboring layers, using sequential links

Boolean type

Clear

Set—a recursive search is enabled

Clear—a recursive search is disabled

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

• Empty field—search across layers isn't limited;
• 0—related layers aren't taken into account during the search, that is, in case of alarm, only the layer on which the alarm occurs will blink;
• >0—indicates the number of layers through which the search is performed. For example, the map has six interconnected layers, and the alarm appears on the third layer. If the key value is 1, the alarm will blink on layer 3, as well as on layers 2 and 4

7

The Search for the shortest path
checkbox

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, the 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

The Over all windows when alarm
checkbox

Set the checkbox

Displays the window of the Map interface object over all windows of active applications only for the currently active map layer if the Alarm signal is received from any object on this map layer

For more details about the Layer object, see The settings panel of the Layer object

Boolean type

Clear

Set—the window of the Map object of the currently active layer is displayed over all active applications if the Alarm signal is received from any object on this map layer

Clear—the window of the Map object of the currently active layer isn't displayed over all active applications if the Alarm signal is received from any object on this map layer

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 aren't available in the menu of the Camera objects and objects linked with cameras

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 isn't available in the menu of the Camera objects and objects linked with cameras

From 0 to M*100, where M is the number of the installed monitors

The Autoswitch
checkbox

Set the checkbox

Sets autoswitch to the Alarm layer in the Map object

Boolean type

Clear

Set—when the Alarm signal is received from an object, the system will switch to the layer where the object is located

Clear—when the Alarm signal is received from an object, the system doesn't switch to the layer where the object is located

Set—the map is displayed on top of all windows

Clear—the map is displayed in standard mode

The Monitor
drop-down list
