General information about working with the map

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

Security devices are displayed on the map as symbols: each device is described by its status; access to the device functions is provided via the functional menu, which is called up by a right mouse click on the required device image on the Map. Macro commands are also displayed in the Map as symbols, which are started from the functional menu of the given macro command 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, the level switch-over function shall be provided. To enable this, special links between the Map levels are established at the program configuration stage. To switch between the Map levels use the  interlayer link button. Additionally, the interlayer link button shows the device status on the corresponding Map level. In addition, automated switch-over between the Map levels and recursive search for alarm links in the Map are supported.
