Method for managing surveillance system with aid of panoramic map, and associated apparatus

An apparatus for managing a surveillance system, the surveillance system comprising at least one camera with a capability of capturing direction adjustment, the apparatus comprising at least a portion of the surveillance system, and comprising:

• an interface circuit, configured in a central control device in the surveillance system, and arranged to couple to the camera;
• and
• a control circuit, coupled to the interface circuit and configured in the central control device, and arranged to control the central control device to output a panoramic map to a display module of the surveillance system, for displaying the panoramic map on the display module, wherein the control circuit correspondingly labels a target patrol route of the surveillance system on the panoramic map according to at least one user input of a user of the surveillance system for the user to confirm the target patrol route, and the control circuit applies at least one configuration corresponding to the target patrol route to the camera through the interface circuit to make capturing direction adjustment operations of the camera correspond to the target patrol route.
