Quick Start Guide

The following Quick Start Guide is intended to provide basic assistance when

operating the Pick-a-Point Icon system.

Pick-a-Point Icon is designed to simplify the control of cameras and ancillary devices

in medium to large CCTV systems.

The bespoke system, with customer specic maps, is designed to meet the exact

operational requirements of the user.

The keyboard and joystick control offers a familiar environment for operators;

eliminating the retraining requirement associated with PC based systems. The

integrated touch screen keyboard provides intuitive camera selection and joystick

telemetry control. The powerful graphical user interface (GUI) allows quick menu

navigation. Operators can simply pick and click cameras to view the

required images.

The system is congured and commissioned on site by a Dedicated Micros

technician (or appointed individual). Custom maps are added to suit the users

requirements. Graphical representation of the sites being monitored can be used in

conjunction with camera icons and hotspots.

Combined with Dedicated Micros’ world leading NetVu Connected technology, the

Pick-a-Point system offers a powerful networked monitoring solution.
