information losing when compacting and sending, the playing will be real-time.
Automatic: Its difference from Real-time is that when the client gets the
information, it will cut some information and then play it. It consumes less
CPU space. But if you click any cameras, system will adjust frame rate to
Real-time automatically.
1fps: It means to break down the information in server. Only one frame
of important information is sent to the client every second. It consumes little
CPU space and network. And if you click any cameras, system will adjust
frame rate to Real-time automatically when there is enough network space.

Chapter8 Appendix A: E-Map

Function

8.1 Introduction

8.1.1 E-Map Introduction

E-Map is installed in CMS to deal with variety alarms, such as sensor
alarm, motion detection alarm etc. If the setup is OK,when alarm triggers, it
will automatically switch to display video images of the related cameras
immediately. User can click them to locate where the alarm be triggered out.
And the corresponding names of camera will be displayed on screen.

8.1.2 Corresponding Configuration of E-Map

Both of the single monitor and dual monitor support E-Map. There are
some referenced configurations and steps of setups for the above 2
situations.

8.1.3 Single Monitor

Configurations
CMS display resolution supports Auto, 1024*768, 1280*768, 1280*1024,
1366*768, 1440*900, 1600*900, 1680*1050 and 1920*1080. That is to say,
1024*768 is the least display resolution for CMS. So, when there is only one
monitor, user must set its resolution more than 1024*768. Otherwise, user
cant use electro-map function. When user opens CMS, the following dialog
box will be displayed on the screen if user has already enabled Use electronic
map function in CMS System Setup:

Steps of Setup

80
 CMS Client Manual

(1). Set Resolution

Note:
The screen resolution must be more than 1024*768 pixels if you want to
use E-Map.

(2). Add Server

User can add Hybrid-NDVR and IP server into the system. If you dont
add any server in the system, you cant add any device in the map. The
Add/Modify Server Information dialog box is showed as below:

81
 CMS Client Manual

(3). Set CMS Display Resolution

We suggest you set CMS Display Resolution as 1024*768, so that there
will be more space for electronic map.

(4). Open Electronic Map Function

82
 CMS Client Manual

Now, Connect Server While Alarm function is disabled automatically.

(5). Restart CMS

After the above operations, system will prompt you to restart CMS. The
setups will take effect after rebooting.

8.1.4 Dual Monitor

Configurations

(1). Stretch
The display card should support the dual monitor. We use ATI 9200
display card. First you should connect the dual monitor to the display card.

The system can detect the dual monitors automatically, then you should
select Stretch Desktop 1 horizontally onto monitor and the interface as
below will be displayed:

83
 CMS Client Manual

The desktop area should be selected about double size of the one
monitor. Now, the dual monitor is effective.
Note:
Win 7 doesnt support Stretch mode.

(2). Extend
Also, you can choose Extend Main onto monitor.

84
 CMS Client Manual

The two monitors should be set as the same size. Otherwise, something
may be wrong. Its shown as below.

Note:
1). If the old ATI display card doesn't support the CATALYST Control
Center, you should download ATI Catalyst and install it ,then it can enter the
setting interface in ATI catalyst control center;
2). If the length or width exceeds the scope that the screen can display,
the monitor cant display normally. In other words, when you are setting the
Desktop area, you should not only consider whether your display card
supports or not but also your screen;
3). If you select Stretch Desktop 1 horizontally onto monitor, you should
correspondingly choose Stretched in CMS system setup.

4). If you select Extend Main onto monitor, you should choose
Extended.

85
 CMS Client Manual
