a contiguous 360-degree view around the domes, with the ending
point of one area as the starting point for the next. Please note that
the ending point of the last area cannot surpass the starting point of
the first.
Areas may be assigned different sizes to meet the requirements of a
particular installation. In the example shown above, the two areas
covering the boarding gates (Areas 5 and 6) are much larger than
those covering the escalators (Area 1 and 2).
The zoom level may also affect the area size during camera
operations. As the camera zooms in, the size of an area becomes
smaller, and its boundaries draw closer. Please refer to the following
illustrations on how zoom operations affecting the area size. This
feature may become helpful when the area boundaries need to be
precisely located (see later discussions in this section).
