Information
The "Information" button
is used to enter specific
information about the
holder of this
transmitter. Car type,
parking sticker number,
license number, and
medical information are
examples of the types of
information typically
entered.
Each of the fields would
typically hold different
information. The
installer can change the
field labels to labels that
would define your
intended usage.

Subscriber Images
Display subscriber images. This software does not capture the 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 etc. The source of the image is not critical. We have not identified, nor 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 will have to be scaled and therefore they may
loose image quality. Under the Setup menu, in the System Preferences dialog 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 may also be saved in Windows bitmap (.BMP) however this format requires significantly more disk
storage.
Only when the display is set to 640x480 (not recommended) the images are displayed on top of the map and the
"Scaling %" (10 - 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 dialog, select the desired subscriber, then 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 Meg
video card to display subscriber's images. Go to the Windows 95
click the "Start" button. Select "Settings: Control panel: Display". Click the "Settings" tab. In the "Color palette"
control you can select 256 color, High Color (16 bit) or True Color (24 bit). The system should be set to High
Color or True Color (256 color likely will produce undesirable results). When in doubt set to High Color. In the
same dialog "Desktop area" can be set to 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768 pixels. When the display is set to
640x480 (not recommended) the images are displayed on top of the map and therefore limit how much of the
map displayed. The 1024x768 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 800x600 and when in doubt this
setting should be selected. If you can't choose these settings you video card or monitor setting may be incorrect,
refer to the system documentation to correct.
Specific Alarm Zones are assigned to the different computer workstations of the Security
Escort system. Each transmitter entered in the Subscriber Database can be assigned to
one or more of the Alarm Zones. Therefore you may control which computer workstations
alarms from this transmitter will appear on.
The "Advanced" button is used to set up special transmitters that monitor fixed locations,
these features are not used for personal transmitters. This button is available only to the
maintenance and installing personnel (see the Technical Reference Manual)
Clicking the Save button saves all changes to the database.
