* The loaded images (background image, user device, user sensor and user link images) are copied to the specific directory automatically. If you remove the background images manually from that directory, it MAY lead to problems in operating Emap functions.

3.7.2 Device design

① Select the device(s) and drag it (them) to your target location.

② Select a device and click the right mouse button.

Chapter 4 – Event Setup

This is to set up event operations. The device events are dependant on the device model. For example, some devices MAY support only motion and alarm event. And others MAY support manual trigger, on boot, video loss, network loss as well as motion and alarm. Please check the device model and setup before configuring this.

Select the EVENT menu.

Figure 21 Event Setup

4.1 Event Setup – Device

This is to set up the event operation. When an event happens on the device, the configured operations (view channel/layout, sound, execute external application, and recording, etc.,) would be worked. And the Event Relay is to relay event to other devices.

Figure 22 Event Setup - Device

4.1.1 Event operations

① Select the Device tab.

② Select a device from the device tree.

③ Select an event type to set up from the combo-box.

④ Enable/Disable the selected event operation from the list.

⑤ Set up the event operations.

⑥ If you want to apply the same operations to other devices, select the Apply to button and select

Event Relay Relay Out List Select the Relay Out

* The Record operation in the device event list only affects the recording schedule. For example, if there is a device which is configured that there is no recording (time/event) schedule from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. If an event which operation is recording, is happened during that time, it would be recorded as configured with above setting value.

* The Relay Out has the similar configurations of the device event. Please do not configure relay chains. (For example, a manual trigger of device A relays a manual trigger of device B. And manual trigger of device B relays manual trigger of device A. It makes relay chain continuously. It MAY cause endless event operations)

* The View Channel option needs event channel setting on the Live1, Live2 and Emap. If there is no event channel setting on them, it will not work.

* The Dwell Time values of the View Channel and View Layout have a minimum time out of 5 sec. If another event occurs, the view channel and layout MAY be preemptive even though the value is over 5 seconds.
