1. A method for facilitating monitoring multiple disparate sites, the method comprising:
- providing a set of rules describing at least one event of interest and comprising at least one site-specific component and at least one site-independent component;
defining the at least one site-independent components; and
distributing the set of rules to the multiple disparate sites, thereby facilitating definition of the at least one site-specific components at the multiple disparate sites and monitoring in accordance with the rules at each site.

Abstract
Rules are applied to video surveillance data to detect events. Localization of the events is achieved by decomposing events into distinct components, each of which can, in some embodiments, be defined at different locations and by different users.

26. A system for facilitating monitoring of multiple disparate sites, the system comprising:
-
a rule-definition module for defining a set of rules, each describing one or more events of interest and comprising one or more site-specific components and one or more site-independent components; a transmission module for transmitting one or more of the rules to one or more disparate sites, thereby facilitating the definition of the one or more site-specific components at the multiple disparate sites. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A method of monitoring multiple disparate sites, the method comprising:
-
providing a set of rules describing at least one event of interest and comprising at least one site-specific component and at least one site-independent component; defining the at least one site-independent components; distributing the set of rules to the multiple disparate sites; defining at least one site-specific component at one of the sites; and monitoring the one of the sites in accordance with the rules.

38. An article of manufacture having computer-readable program portions embodied thereon for monitoring activity at multiple disparate sites, the article comprising computer-readable instructions for:
-
providing a set of rules describing at least one event of interest and comprising at least one site-specific component and at least one site-independent component; defining the at least one site-independent components; and distributing the set of rules to the multiple disparate sites, thereby facilitating definition of the at least one site-specific components at the multiple disparate sites and monitoring in accordance with the rules at each site.
