4. Name the child map.<br><br>
5. Give the map a description (optional).<br><br>
6. Click Map Image and load the image you want to use.<br><br>
7. You also have the option of using the Add Icon button to upload a thumbnail image to display in the map tree for this map. The icon drop-down allows you to select from previously used icons.<br><br>
8. From the Available Items panel drag the appropriate cameras to their position in the map.<br>
   NOTE: You may also drag input triggers, soft triggers, output alarms, audio devices, serial data streams, web panels, and access control integrations onto maps.<br><br>

   NOTE: If you do not add at least one device to the map, you cannot click Apply.<br><br>
10. The parent map now lists this map as a child map.<br><br>
11. Repeat steps 2-9 to create additional child maps. <br><br>
