Dahua - GUI V5 NVR - EMap & Map Tracking

This guide explains how to configure the E-Map feature and use the Map Track function on Dahua NVRs running UI 5.0. E-Map allows you to place cameras on a floor plan or site map for visual reference during live monitoring. Map Track works alongside AcuPick to display search results as a visual trail across your maps during playback.

Configuring E-Map

1. 1
   Log in to the device. Access the NVR interface using your administrator credentials.
2. 2
   Open E-Map settings. Go to System > General > E-Map.
3. 3
   Add a root map. By default there is no map configured. Click the Add icon to create a root map — this is the base layer of your site layout.
4. 4
   Bind channels to the map. Select a channel from the left sidebar and drag it onto the map displayed on the right to position and bind it.
5. 5
   Add additional map layers. Click the Add icon to create more maps. Enter a name and upload a map image. You can then drag channels onto each additional map layer as needed — this is how multi-layer E-Map works across different floors or zones.
6. 6
   View live channel footage from the map. Click the Live icon on any bound camera pin to open a live view of that channel directly from the map.
7. 7
   Edit or delete maps. Click the Edit icon to modify a map's name or image. Click the Delete icon to remove the map entirely.

Using Map Track

Map Track uses AcuPick search results to visualise a subject's movement across your E-Map layers during playback. This is useful for tracking a person or vehicle across different zones or floors of a site.

1. 1
   Run an AcuPick search. Go to Playback > AcuPick and search for the subject you want to track. Review the results returned.
2. 2
   Select a result and open Map Tracks. Select one result from the AcuPick results list and click the AcuPick icon, then click Map Tracks to display the search results as a visual track across your E-Map.
3. 3
   Play back the track. Select a track point from the list and click Play Tracks. The playback area in the upper-right corner will play the recorded video clips in chronological order. If an event occurred on a different map layer, the system will automatically switch to that map for playback.
