Preparation
Before beginning commissioning, it is recommended that all the maps for all the sites to be monitored by the
Pick-a-Point system be created ready for installation.
Pick-a-Point uses a graphical interface to help the operator navigate quickly around the sites being monitored.
Well planned and laid out maps will help in this task.
Best Practice
Each site should have an overview map showing all the sub sites that can be accessed via the station. Once
the system has been configured, the operator will click on a 'hotspot' on the main map to open a sub-map,
showing all the available cameras within that area. All maps should be created before commissioning begins.
Map spec
•
All maps should be created in JPEG format.
•
1024 x 702 pixels
Note: There are many different options when saving JPEG format. Some of these may not display
satisfactorily. This can be prevented by opening the finished correctly sized JPEG using the Microsoft
Paint program available on most PC's and then re-saving.
The finished maps can then be saved onto a USB memory stick (or CD if there will be a USB CD drive
available) so they can be used in the commissioning process.
