To allow Security Desk operators to view multiple cameras while focusing on the map, you can add layouts to your maps.

Before you begin

  • Create the map where you want to add your layout.
  • Make sure you have layouts in your Security Center system.

What you should know

On a map, a layout behaves like a camera sequence. When you click a layout on the map, the system displays in sequence, all the cameras associated with the layout in a single tile bubble. You can also double-click a layout on the map to open a Monitoring task with that layout.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Map designer task.
  2. Select a recent map or click Browse all maps to open an existing map.
    The selected map fills the Map designer workspace.
  3. In the toolbar, click Area view (), select the layout () you want to add, and drag it to where you want it to be on the map.
    The widgets for configuring the map object appear in the right panel. The map object always takes on the identity of the entity that it represents.
  4. In the Map designer toolbar, click Save ().
