  1. Introduction:
    • Welcome to the PDK system tutorial on using the map view. In this video, we will show you how to utilize the map view feature to visualize and manage your security devices and access points across your facility.
  2. Accessing the Map View:
    • Log in to your PDK software and navigate to the 'Map View' section.
    • Here, you will see a graphical representation of your facility with all connected devices and access points displayed on the map.
  3. Adding a Map:
    • To start, you need to upload a floor plan or map of your facility. Click on 'Add Map' and select the file from your device.
    • Ensure the map is clear and accurately represents the layout of your facility.
  4. Placing Devices on the Map:
    • Once the map is uploaded, you can start placing devices on the map. Select a device from the list and drag it to the correct location on the map.
    • Repeat this process for all devices, ensuring each one is accurately placed to reflect its physical location.
  5. Configuring Device Icons:
    • Customize the icons for each device to make them easily identifiable. You can change the icon color, shape, and label.
    • This helps in quickly identifying different types of devices and their statuses.
  6. Using the Map View:
    • The map view allows you to see the real-time status of all devices at a glance. Devices will display their current state, such as 'Online', 'Offline', or 'Active'.
    • Click on a device icon to view detailed information and perform actions like changing its state or viewing activity logs.
  7. Zooming and Panning:
    • Use the zoom and pan controls to navigate the map. You can zoom in to see more detail or zoom out for a broader view of your facility.
    • Pan across the map to explore different areas and check the status of devices in various locations.
  8. Saving and Managing Maps:
    • Save your map configuration once all devices are placed and configured. You can create multiple maps for different floors or sections of your facility.
    • Switch between maps easily using the map management options to get a comprehensive view of your entire facility.
