For the maps that you create to be interactive, you must add map objects to the maps.

What you should know

  • Map objects are graphical representations on your maps of Security Center entities or geographical features, such as cities, highways, rivers, and so on. With map objects, you can interact with your system without leaving your map.
  • If you are creating a map that shares cameras or other entities with another map, you can copy and paste the entities and their configurations from one map to another.

Procedure

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