2.5 BASIC CONFIGURATION
You will need to access your DVRs through CMS in order to monitor them.
STEP 1. Click on the System Config
button at the lower right of the
Control Center Operation
Interface.
This will change the screen to the
Device Manager window which
will allow you to begin to add one or
more DVRs to your system. Adding
an IP camera is done in the same
manner.
STEP 2. Click on the Add Region icon at the upper left of the window.

STEP 3. Name the new region. This can
be named whatever you want - up to
32 characters in length. If you have
several DVRs in a building, you may
want to name the region after that
location for easy reference. You can
also add sub-regions if needed.
2.4 E-MAP
Users have the option to add a map showing
the locations of the cameras being monitored
in order to quickly show the location of an
alarm event. The maps can be a floorplan
of a single building or they can show the
location of DVRs within a city. The settings
for the E-map function are made in the
Map Config portion of the System Config
window. This process is covered in Section
4.4 E-Map Configuration.
USING THE E-MAP
Select the map you want to monitor from the tree to the right of the window and it will be
displayed along with any cameras you’ve placed on it.
You have the option of displaying the map while monitoring the cameras in
Live View. Right-
clicking on the map in the window will bring up a dialog box giving you the option to display it
full screen. If you have an additional monitor connected to the PC, you may choose to have it
display on that screen while the main window for CMS can be viewed on the original monitor.
Right-clicking again on the map will give you the option to return to the regular viewing mode.
If you selected the check box “E-Map” in
the
Local Alarm Configuration tab (See
Section 4.2), that camera’s icon will begin
blinking on the map when it detects motion.
Right-clicking on that camera will open a
window showing you that channel’s view.
