4. The image monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein said display control section is configured to control the display section to display identification information with images in the first layout.

5. The image monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein the display control section is configured to control the display section so that the first and second layouts are shown and selectable.

6. The image monitoring system according to claim 5 , wherein the first and second layouts are shown with the identification information.

7. The image monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein said display control section is configured so that all layouts are shown and selectable.

8. A display control apparatus comprising: storing section to store first correlation information between a position in a first layout and an identification information relating camera information; and display control section to control a display section such that, in displaying images by said display section, at least one of the images captured by cameras is displayed in a window having a mode of the first layout or a mode of a second layout; wherein the images captured by the cameras are shown at a position based on the first correlation information between the position in the first layout and the identification information relating camera information, when a layout of the window is changed from the second layout to the first layout; and wherein the cameras are connected to a network, and the first correlation information is prepared when the cameras are connected to the network.

9. The display control apparatus according to claim 8 wherein the first correlation information is automatically prepared when the cameras are connected to the network.

10. The display control apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the camera information includes address information on the network corresponding to the camera.

11. The display control apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display control section is configured to control the display section to display identification information with images in the first layout.

12. The display control apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein said display control section is configured to control the display section so that the first and second layouts are shown and selectable.

13. The display control apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the first and second layouts are shown with the identification information.

14. The display control apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein said display control section is configured so that all layouts are shown and selectable.

15. An image monitoring system comprising: plural cameras connected to a network; display section displaying images captured by said cameras; and display control controlling the display section such that, in displaying images by said display section, at least one of the images is displayed in a window having a mode of a first layout or a mode of a second layout; wherein the images are shown at a position based on first correlation information between a position in the first layout and an identification information relating camera information, when a layout of the window is changed from the second layout to the first layout; and wherein the first correlation information is prepared when the cameras are connected to the network.

16. A display control apparatus comprising: storing section storing first correlation information between a position in a first layout and an identification information relating camera information; and display control section controlling a display section such that, in displaying images by said display section, at least one of the images captured by cameras is displayed in a window having a mode of the first layout or a mode of a second layout; wherein the images captured by the cameras are shown at a position based on the first correlation information between the position in the first layout and the identification information relating camera information, when a layout of the window is changed from the second layout to the first layout; and wherein the cameras are connected to a network, and the first correlation information is prepared when the cameras are connected to the network.

17. A method of an image monitoring system comprising the steps of: displaying images captured by cameras; and controlling a display section such that, in displaying images by said display section, at least one of the images is displayed in a window having a mode of a first layout or a mode of a second layout; wherein the images are shown at a position based on first correlation information between a position in the first layout and an identification information relating camera information, when a layout of the window is changed from the second layout to the first layout; and wherein the first correlation information is prepared when the cameras are connected to a network.
