Software Manual - Vicon

For the Kollectors, the maximum number of cameras that can be selected simultaneously is sixteen,
depending on the current display mode. If you select more than the maximum number, it will overwrite a
previously selected camera.
A total of 16 microphones and/or cameras can be selected simultaneously on the Kollector (only 4
microphones are available on the Kollector Strike with version 5.6).
You can also change the maximum number and location of the cameras you want to view and record, as
described in Video Display Area, page 24 and Display Mode Controls, page 31. Refer to Chapter 4, Viewing
and Listening to Live Video/Audio and Chapter 5, Recording Live Video/Audio, for detailed procedures using
the Site List.
Site Map
The ViconNet Site Map provides you with the ability to define the location of Kollector units, cameras and
microphones on a map of the physical environment/premises. Maps can be grouped into map sets. The map
set you are currently working on is called the working set. The Working Set site maps can be viewed by
clicking on Site Map in the left hand panel of the Main window. The Site Map list can be navigated in the
same way as the Site List. However, the devices in the Site Map list are organized by maps and map sets,
not by site (meaning, by physical location of devices as opposed to by device name).
You can define your maps and map sets by selecting Map Sets from the System Settings window. The image
in the lower-left panel changes according to the object selected in the Site Map list.
Maps are loaded in to the system using the Add New Map utility. (For more details, refer to the Defining Site
Maps and Map Sets section in Chapter 3, Configuring the ViconNet system.) Maps can be loaded from any
media, including CDs or USB drives.
