(for example, CPU usage, memory, network usage).

details are displayed in a separate, floating window.

Event Server service is managed on the surveillance system server. Contact your surveillance system
administrator, who will be able to handle the issue.

elements, and the map centers on the clicked spot. Pan the map by clicking and dragging the map in
any direction.
