Introduction
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.
Integration with existing systems is seamless, giving the operator control over servers, DVR’s and
xed/telemetry cameras. It can operate as an additional control point on an existing Pick-a-Point
system, or work as a standalone unit, providing composite viewing and control for any Dedicated
Micros NetVu Connected Server, DVR or IP Camera.
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
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 Icon
system offers a powerful networked monitoring solution.
