5.2 Multiple Map Files
For a multi-story building, the maps
for each floor must have the same
resolution. Each map must be vertically
aligned with all the floors above and
below it. Therefore, the maps have the
same origin (0,0 = upper left corner).
Typically, you would do the map for the
ground floor, then make the maps for
the other floors by editing copies of
the ground floor map.
Where transponders from multiple
systems report into the same computer,
the map(s) for each system is separate
and assigned unique map numbers from
the other maps on that same computer.
The origin for the maps for each system
is 0,0 = upper left corner. Therefore,
the location of the receivers in the
transponder database only consider this
system’s map without respect to the
maps for any other systems being
handled by the same computer.
The maps must be named Map0.edb,
Map1.edb through Map99.edb. Where
Map0.edb is the default map file,
usually the ground floor. The Security
Escort software shows the default map
if there is no other events being
processed at a given time.
Assign the desired map number to an
area or point in the transponder
database. Assign the map for a fixed
location transmitters in the Subscriber
Database Advanced Screen.

5.3 Subscriber Images
Display subscriber images. This
software does not capture the
subscriber images; it displays images
that were previously captured by some
other means. The subscriber image can
be captured using a digital camera,
video capture board and so on. The
source of the image is not critical. We
have not identified, nor do we require
a specific manufacturer of the image
capture equipment. The images must be
saved individually in JPG format. The
images should not be larger that 160
pixels wide and 160 pixels high. If
they are, they are scaled and therefore
they may loose image quality. Under the
Setup Menu in the System Preferences

images should not be larger that 160
pixels wide and 160 pixels high. If

they may loose image quality. Under the
Setup Menu in the System Preferences
Screen the path to the images is set in
subscriber image file path (default
location of the images is
"C:\ESCORT\IMAGES", but they can be
located anywhere). The three-character
file extension of the image files is
set in Extension (default is JPG).
Subscriber images can also be saved in
Windows bitmap (.BMP); however, this
format requires significantly more disk
storage.
Only when the display is set to 640 by
480 (not recommended) the images
display on top of the map and the
Scaling % (10 to 200) controls the size
of the image (try different settings to
control the image size in the alarm
screen). Under the Files Menu in the
Subscriber Database Screen, select the
desired subscriber and click Edit data.
The image file is the name of file that
has this subscriber’s image. For
example, if the subscriber’s image is
stored in a file with the name
Image1.jpg, enter Image1 in this box.
You should have a minimum of a 1 MB
video card to display subscriber’s
images. Go to the Windows 95 (Windows
98, Windows NT) Task bar and click the
Start button. Select Settings

Display. Click the Settings
tab. In the Color palette control you
can select 256 color, High Color (16
bit) or True Color (24 bit). Set the
system to High Color or True Color (256
color is likely to produce undesirable
results). When in doubt, set to High
Color. In the same screen, Desktop area
can be set to 640 by 480, 800 by 600,
or 1024 by 768 pixels. When the display
is set to 640 by 480 (not recommended),
the images are displayed on top of the
map and therefore limit how much of the
map displays. The 1024 by 768 setting
may require too much memory for most
video cards and show more of the map,
decreasing the size of the map details.
Most video cards can be set to 800 by
600 and when in doubt this setting
should be selected. If you cannot
choose these settings, your video card
or monitor setting may be incorrect,
refer to the system documentation to
correct.
