INSTALLATION MAPS
Maps are drawn for each location/site where a Graphic Controller program is installed. These maps are de-
signed to accurately represent the physical installation.

3.3.1 Creating Maps
Any draw/paint package that can export bitmap (.BMP) files can be used to create an installation map (e.g.,
Paint Brush which is supplied with Windows). Some drawing packages provide more features and therefore
are better than others.
Paint Brush which is supplied with Windows). Some drawing packages provide more features and therefore
are better than others.
NOTE: Image resolution may drop in quality during the export filtering process.
When creating installation maps, the following should be considered:
⇒
What areas should be illustrated? Should parking and other areas around the buildings be in-
cluded?
⇒
How detailed should the map be? Details like doorways, tables, stairs etc. should be included if
they make the map easier to identify.
⇒
What alarm and area buttons are required? All camera locations should be illustrated.
⇒
Can all the information fit onto one map? There are limitations on the number of buttons that can
be added to each map (refer to Adding Buttons).
⇒
How much space should the map occupy on the main screen? If windows (e.g., the Video window)
need to remain open, vacant space around the map may be required.
To create/edit a map:
1. Open the draw/paint software package that will be used to draw the installation map.
2. Draw the installation map. Architects drawings or plans of the building(s) may be helpful during
this process.
3. Illustrate all camera positions on the map (dark blue is suggested). Area buttons (yellow is sug-
gested) and alarm buttons (red is suggested) should be included as required. It should be remem-
bered any shape or color can be used to depict items.

NOTE: Buttons cannot be positioned on top of each other. If they are, only the top one can be
activated.
activated.
4. When complete, save the file to the same directory as the Graphic Controller program (C:\Gcon).
The map should be given a meaningful filename; e.g., first_fl.* (DOS limits the length of the
filename to eight characters, with a three character extension).
filename to eight characters, with a three character extension).
5. The map must now be exported as a bitmap (.BMP). Refer to Exporting Maps for detailed in-
structions.
