Send cameras from a map to a floating window
To view all the cameras (a maximum of 25 in one view) on a map simultaneously in a floating window:
1. On the Live tab or the Playback tab, select the map that contains the cameras you want to
view in a floating window.
2. At the top of the map title bar, click the Send all cameras to floating window icon: .
The floating window displays a maximum of 25 cameras in the view.
If you have more than 25 cameras on a map, when you click this button, it will not always be the same
cameras you see.
Change the background of a map
If you need to update the map but want to keep all the information on it, you can just replace the map
background (if you have the necessary map edit rights). This allows you to keep all your cameras, and
other elements in their relative positions on a new map. Select Change map background, by right-
clicking the map or in the Properties pane.
Remove the map
Right-click the map in the view, and select Remove Map. This will remove the entire map, including
added elements representing cameras, microphones, speakers, etc. The map is only removed from
the view. The image file will still exist on the surveillance system, and can thus be used for creating a
new map.
You can also remove a map through the Map Overview.
Add and remove elements from maps
1. In setup mode, right-click the map and select Toolbox.
2. In the toolbox, click the required element icon to open the Element Selector window.
3. You can use the filter to quickly find a required element: type a search criterion to narrow down
the list of displayed elements to fit your search criterion.
4. Select the element and drag it onto the map.
