Map Setup
E-Map Setup
The purpose of the E-map system is to help the guard have better overview of the physical
locations of all the cameras in the monitored area. The E-map system may contain one or
several images (jpeg or gif) of the territory map, floor plan, etc which can be filled with the icons
of the cameras together with small live preview windows for each camera on the map.
Each image in the E-map system will be linked to a certain camera group – you can pick
the cameras only from that camera group to fill the image with camera icons. It is possible to
define convenient hyperlinks that help you switch between the maps with a single click.
In order to set up the E-map system, you have to use the Workstation that is located in the
same PC with the NVR server. Before you proceed with creating the maps, please make sure
you have already created the necessary camera groups and added the cameras into those
groups. Once the E-map is properly setup, you may access it from other PCs by either
workstation or web client.
To start with E-map setup, go to Active Setup → Setup Map → Map Manager → Add
Map.
