A method to facilitate management of surveillance devices is provided. The method stores map data defining a geographic map of the monitored region. Assets of interest are located and surveillance devices (SDs) are installed. The method creates and stores surveillance device related (SDR) objects. The method maps the SDR objects to surveillance device specific content that includes at least one of: SD position information, asset position information, SD data and SD documentation. The method determines device markers to be illustrated and maps the device markers to the SDR objects. The method presents a geographic map of the monitored region with device markers. The device markers indicate positions of the surveillance devices relative to the geographic map. The method provides a user interface to permit a user to select from the surveillance devices by choosing the corresponding device markers.
