Introduction to Map/Camera Set Up
"Views" and "Maps" must be set up before
visual monitoring and/or status & control tasks
can be performed.
Notice:
It is extremely useful to familiarize yourself
with the operation of this feature, and plan how you
want your views and maps set up before you begin.
Grid view: Due to its visual nature, this feature uses
'forms' view only.
Permissions:
Setting up maps, cameras, and 'views'
requires an operator with permission to "Configure
Visual Director". This permission is also required to
change camera image quality/sizing (right-click menu).
Supported Map File Formats
Map images to be used with this feature must
have been saved in one of these file-formats:
•
Vector/Drawing Formats: WMF, EMF
•
Bitmap/Photo Formats: BMP, JPG
Requirements for Camera Viewing
Camera viewing (and PTZ control) is
supported through Netvision™ capture
stations.
Required Items:
•
TCP/IP protocol must be installed and set up
on your PC
(this is typically done automatically
as part of the MS Windows installation)
;
•
You must have an available connection to a
network, the internet, or "dial-up networking"
to allow connecting with the capture station;
(And the capture station PC and software must be
running.)
•
The IP address (or name) of each specific
capture station PC must be known;
•
The capture station "Video Server" must be
set to allow anyone to view cameras
(through
the Windows Control Panel)
;
•
The desired camera number should be
known;
•
For control of PTZ cameras (pan-tilt-zoom),
you will need to have a valid PTZ username
for each specific capture station.
For details on setting up a Netvision™ capture station,
refer to the on-line help or other documentation
provided with the Netvision software.
