If the dome is installed in a location where you can see numerous departments or other identifiable
objects, programming area boundaries might be useful. 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 5-5 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.
