Monitor doors on maps

If your organization uses the map functionality to support your surveillance and access control tasks, you can add access control units to a map:

1. In setup mode, expand the System overview pane.
2. Select Map from the list and drag it to a view item.
3. Locate the map file and click OK.
4. From the map toolbox that is displayed, click Add access control.
5. From the list, drag the relevant access control unit, such as a door, onto the map to display an icon representing that door.

6. Click Setup to change to live viewing, then right-click the door icon to trigger commands.

You can unlock the door from a command button on the access request notification or on the map itself.

When you have granted access, the door icon turns green to indicate it's an open door. When the door is locked again, automatically or manually, the door icon turns red and is displayed as a closed door.

Because each access control unit's status is always displayed, the map provides a fast, graphical overview of the unit's status across the area or building you're monitoring.
