Programming Area Boundaries

If the dome is installed in a location where you can see numerous departments or other
identifiable objects, you might want to consider programming area boundaries. Areas are
programmed start- and end-points of a camera's field of view. Each area is a part of a circular
viewing area that extends around the dome.
For example, Figure 33 represents the floor plan of a break room. The room includes a main
entrance, tables with chairs, vending machines, lockers, and an emergency exit. Areas have
been programmed around the fixtures in the room. As shown in this example, areas can be
different sizes.
