Graphic objects on the Map

Security devices of the System (cameras, microphones, sensors, relays) are reflected on the Map as symbols (conventional characters, see figure).

 The graphic symbol of the device in the Map shows the current status of the given device.

If the object has several states, then the device symbol changes in accordance with these states in some time. When the object is marked on the map, then all its states are displayed next to it as diminished icons.

The selected object is framed. If required, the frame can be not shown – set 1 as the AlternativeSelect parameter value – see Registry keys reference guide.

Interlayer links integrated in the given level reflect the status of devices on other Map levels.

Whenever any security device registers an alarm event on any of the existing levels, the interlayer link symbol starts blinking. The interlayer link symbol continues blinking as long as the current registered alarm event is occurring, whereas no other alarm events arise within the given level.

Device functions can be accessed via a functional menu called up by a right mouse click on the symbol of the device shown on the Map. Some functional menu commands are common to objects of different types - see Common commands in the functional menu. The example of the functional menu of the Camera object is shown in the figure.

Actions on several devices of the same type can be performed at once. To do this:

1. Select several object icons, for example, several cameras, by left-clicking and holding the Ctrl key on the keyboard.
2. Right-click on one of the selected icons.
3. Select an action.

If TouchScreen=1 registry key is set, you can also double left click on an object icon to call the functional menu (see Registry keys reference guide for more details on the key).

A tooltip with the name of the last event received from the object can be displayed above the object's icon (see Configuring the event tooltips). The tooltip size does not depend on the map scale.
