AUTOMATED CAMERA RESPONSE IN A SURVEILLANCE ARCHITECTURE
First Claim
1. A detection and response device for automatically selecting and presenting surveillance information collected by one or more capture devices comprising:
- one or more transceivers configured to receive data indicating that an event has occurred;
one or more storage devices configured to store one or more geospaces comprising data identifying one or more physical areas, one or more instructions associated with each of the one or more geospaces, and one or more user interface settings associated with each of the one or more geospaces; and
a response system configured to;
identify an event geospace, wherein the event geospace is one of the one or more geospaces where the event occurred;
retrieve the one or more instructions associated with the event geospace;
execute the one or more instructions associated with the event geospace to provide a response to the event;
retrieve the one or more user interface settings associated with the event geospace; and
present on a display a predefined view comprising surveillance information from at least one of the one or more capture devices according to the one or more user interface settings associated with the event geospace.

Abstract
A detection and response device for a surveillance system detects events, responds to events, or both. The detection and response device may be used with or provided by a variety of surveillance systems, including peer to peer surveillance architectures. The device may utilize one or more defined geospaces. If an event occurs in a geospace a predefined response may then be provided. The predefined response may include automatically targeting one or more cameras to areas relevant to the event and presenting one or more predefined views optimized for viewing the event. If an event does not occur within a geospace, the detection and response device may provide one or more default responses.

8. A surveillance system for providing automated responses to one or more events comprising:
-
one or more storage devices configured to store one or more geospaces identifying one or more physical areas; and at least one detection and response device in communication with one or more cameras, the at least one detection and response device configured to; detect the occurrence of an event; determine if the event has occurred within at least one of the one or more geospaces; control at least one of the one or more cameras to target one or more predefined first areas in response to an event that occurs within a first geospace; and control at least one of the one or more cameras to target one or more predefined second areas in response to an event that occurs within a second geospace, the second geospace distinct from the first geospace. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for responding to an event with a surveillance system having one or more cameras comprising:
-
receiving one or more geospaces identifying one or more physical areas and storing the one or more geospaces on one or more storage devices; receiving one or more preselected areas and storing the one or more preselected areas associated with at least one of the one or more geospaces; detecting the occurrence of the event with one or more sensors; determining if the event occurred within the one or more geospaces; targeting at least one of the one or more cameras at least one of the one or more preselected areas if the event has occurred within the one or more geospaces; targeting at least one of the one or more cameras at the event if the event has occurred outside the one or more geospaces; and presenting one or more video streams from at least one of the one or more cameras on a display. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
