Figure 5-5 An example of areas
The ending point of one area is the starting point for the next area. The ending point of the last
area cannot go past the starting point of the first area. In this example, the area that includes the
vending machines cannot extend past the starting point of the area that includes the emergency
exit. If your controller supports areas, these are separate from the areas you can program with the
dome. You should not use both the controller and the configuration utility to define areas.
The zoom level also affects how large areas appear. When you zoom in to an area, the area may
appear to be small. When you pan the dome, area boundaries may appear to be close. However, if
you zoom out, the area appears to be larger. When you pan the dome, the area boundaries appear
further apart. With this in mind, it will be easier to establish area boundaries if the zoom level is
small than if the zoom level is large.
