1. A method for conducting proactive video surveillance, comprising:

  • simultaneously displaying on a display device to an operator an overview video feed from an overview camera having an overview of a surveillance area in a field-of-view of the overview camera and an inspection video feed from a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera having at least part of the surveillance area in a field-of-view of the PTZ camera;

    defining a first region of interest by having the operator draw a first inspection box around the first region of interest in either the overview video feed or the inspection video feed based on a first observation of activity in the surveillance area needing further inspection as determined by the operator;

    zooming the PTZ camera immediately on the first region of interest using a computing device having a processor such that the PTZ video feed contains just the first region of interest while the overview video feed still contains the overview of the surveillance area;

    defining a second region of interest contained within the first region of interest by having the operator draw a second inspection box around the second region of interest in the inspection video feed based on a second observation of activity in the first region of interest needing further inspection as determined by the operator;

    zooming the PTZ camera immediately on the second region of interest using the computing device having a processor such that the PTZ video feed contains just the second region of interest while the overview video feed still contains the overview of the surveillance area; and

    displaying to the operator the overview video feed and the PTZ video feed to aid the operator in making real-time proactive decisions about the second observation of activity in the surveillance area displayed to the operator.
