Displaying a Background Image or Map
Adding, configuring and viewing the active elements of the system are made considerably more straightforward if you can view a scaled image of the area in the background. You can use a map, aerial photo, scaled diagram or an integrated mapping service of the area as your background. Aerial photos are the most useful for the initial configuration stage.
There are two types of background images; Static or Dynamic.
Static Background Image
Please refer to this documentation: Adding a Background Image for instructions when using a static image like a map, aerial photo or a scaled diagram.
Dynamic Background Image
Please view these instructions: Displaying a Map when using an integrated mapping service as your background.
