Abstract: Embodiments provide to a client device for displaying camera images of a controllable camera. The client device includes a screen and a display device for displaying a first image representation on the screen. The first image representation shows an actual camera image in an actual visual range of the camera. The client device also includes a selection device designed to select a desired visual range of the camera, and has a communications device designed to request and receive a desired camera image in the desired camera visual range. The display device is designed to display, in a second image representation, at least some portion of the actual camera image correctly in terms of position and size in the desired camera visual range and, in an additional image representation, to display the desired camera image correctly in terms of position and size in the desired camera visual range.

Abstract: In spacious areas or building complexes, it is customary to use monitoring systems that comprise monitoring cameras and other monitoring sensors that record monitoring data and forward said monitoring data to a monitoring control centre or the like for the purpose of evaluation. Depending on the size of the monitored area, the complexity of the monitoring system can increase to a great extent. Upwards of a certain size of monitoring area, it is necessary for several monitoring persons also to be employed in parallel in order to inspect the monitoring data.

Abstract: Camera-based monitoring systems are used for securing buildings or open public spaces. Such monitoring systems often have at least one monitoring camera which can be in the form of a fixed monitoring camera. However, PTZ cameras (Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras) are also known which can be controlled by means of a servomotor with regard to the swivel angle, the angle of inclination and a magnification setting. The invention relates to a client device 2 for displaying camera images IK, ZK, SK of a controllable camera 3, said client device having a screen 5, a display device 6 for displaying a first image representation on the screen 5, said first image representation showing an actual camera image IK in an actual visual range IK of the camera 3. The client device also has a selection device 7 which is designed to select a desired visual range SK of the camera 3, and has a communications device 8 which is designed to request A and receive a desired camera image SK in the desired camera visual range SS.
