Step One - Adding Maps

The maps form the backbone of the graphical user interface for the Pick-a-Point system. These should have
been created beforehand in line with the specification mentioned earlier in this manual.

To install the maps;

1) Connect the USB media (memory stick or CD drive) into one of the available USB sockets at the back of
the Workstation.
2) Click 'File -> Edit Map List' to open the map dialog box.
This screen will allow maps to be uploaded or deleted.
3) Click 'Add map'. This will create a new entry in the Map list. Change the automatically generated entry
("NewSite-00:00-XX/XX/XXXX) in the 'Map Name box' to an appropriate title.
Note: Maps are listed alphanumerically. Try to install maps in a logical order to make navigation and linking
easier later.
One suitable method is to number each site in hundreds, with the main site map named
"100 - Main Site 1", "200 - Main Site 2", etc, with sub sites being numbered sequentially
("110 - Building 1 - Site 1","120 - Building 2 - Site 1" ; "210 - Building 1 - Site 2",
"220 - Building 2 - Site 2"). Taking care over the naming structure will make subsequent stages easier.
4) Click on the button next to the "Map Path' dialog box and navigate to the USB media containing the
prepared maps. Select the correct map and click 'OK'.
5) Click on 'Save Map Details'. The map will be copied from the USB media into the correct location within
the Workstation. A sample of the map will be displayed on the Main Screen.
6) Sites can be categorised as either local or remote. Local sites are linked via hotspots and the cameras
are navigable by the touchscreen keyboard. Typical scenario would involve a town centre being stored
as a Local site, with interlinked maps, with schools being brought in as Remote sites overnight.
7) Click 'Site Active' once the map is ready to be used and click on 'Save Map Details'.
Note: Maps can be prepared and installed prior to cameras and alarms being commissioned on site and left
inactive on the workstation.
