First Claim
1. A method of tracking objects by a grid of devices, comprising:
- detecting an event with a first sensor, wherein the first sensor is coupled to a first device mounted on a first pole, wherein the first device is within the grid of devices;
triggering, based on the detected event, a second sensor to sense an object within a field of detection of the second sensor, wherein the first device comprises the second sensor;
the first device collecting data from the second sensor regarding the object;
the first device analyzing the collected data on the object;
the first device determining, based on the analyzing, a second or more devices mounted on a second or more poles located in geographically distinct locations for which the object is projected to enter the second or more devices'"'"' respective fields of detection; and
the first device instructing the second or more devices to begin capturing data on the object utilizing one or more sensors included in the second or more devices.

Abstract
Tracking objects with a grid of modular security and lighting devices includes triggering, based on event, a first sensor to begin capturing data of an object. In one embodiment, the first sensor is a first camera included in a first modular security and lighting device. The devices within the grid analyze captured sensor data such as first images of the object, and select, based on the analyzing, another sensor such as a second camera to begin capturing data of the object. In one example, the second camera is included in a second modular security and lighting device within the grid of modular security and lighting devices and the first and second modular security and lighting devices are located in geographically distinct locations.
