number of cameras and I/O devices already installed at the server, and display their separate

icons.

5. The E-Map Editor lets you set the orientation of camera icons and change the icons. Right-click

any camera icon to call up a menu, and select the direction where you want the camera to point to.

Or change the camera icon into the dome icon.
