Abstract: A video management system for displaying video streams from a plurality of monitoring devices arranged in a network in a video display arrangement. Each monitoring device constitutes a node in the network and has a logical connection to at least one other node. The video management system is configured to: in response to a first input, zoom out from a first subset of views from a first monitoring device or a first group of monitoring devices to a second subset of views, by adding views from a predetermined number of monitoring devices having a direct logical connection to the first monitoring device or the group of monitoring devices, to the video display arrangement, thereby increasing a neighbor monitoring level by one; and in response to a second input, zoom in from the second subset of views thereby decreasing the neighbor monitoring level by one.
