1. An electronic device electronically connected with at least one digital video recorder, comprising:
- a memory system;
one or more processors; and
one or more programs stored in the memory system configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising;
a set-up module to set up an electronic map for a monitor point tree, wherein each node of the monitor point tree is a monitor point and corresponds to one of the at least one digital video recorder, and to save the electronic map and the monitor point tree in a database stored in the memory system of the electronic device, the monitor points being maintained with a tree data-structure according to a hierarchy of a geographic location of the at least one digital video recorder;
a generation module to generate an icon control component for a selected node of the monitor point tree in the electronic map, and to associate the icon control component with a click event of an input device electronically connected to the electronic device;
a storage module to save an identifier (ID) of the icon control component and a position of the icon control component on the electronic map in the database;
a surveillance module to connect to one of the at least one digital video recorder corresponding to the selected node via a communication network, in response to the click event; and
a display module to control a display device of the electronic device to display the electronic map, the monitor point tree, the icon control component, and a video feed from the connected digital video recorder.

Abstract
An electronic device connected with at least one digital video camera dynamically monitors an area where the digital video camera covers. The electronic device displays a monitor point tree, where each node corresponds to a digital video camera. The electronic device can dynamically create an icon control component of a selected digital video camera on an electronic map by dragging and dropping the node corresponding to the one selected on a electronic map. The electronic device can play a video feed of the digital video camera by clicking on the created icon control component.
