1. A method of controlling a distributed video surveillance system having a plurality of devices connected to a network comprising the steps of:
- establishing a protocol for associating the plurality of devices with the occurrence of an event;
storing the protocol;
building a template script that contains a command for an undefined device from the plurality of devices to execute;
storing the template script;
detecting an occurrence of an event;
selecting a device from the plurality of devices according to the protocol to be a device associated with the detected event;
loading data related to the selected device in the template script to generate in real time a first executable script specifically related to the detected event; and
executing the first script automatically without user interaction.

9. A video surveillance system comprising:
- a network;
a plurality of video surveillance devices connected to said network;
an event detector connected to said network;
a script manager connected to said network, said script manager having a memory, a template script stored in said memory, and a protocol stored in said memory, said template script containing a command for an undefined device from said plurality of video surveillance devices to execute, said protocol associating said plurality of video surveillance devices with an occurrence of an event, said script manager being adapted to select a video surveillance device from said plurality of video surveillance devices according to said protocol to be a device associated with an event detected by said event detector and loading data associated with the selected video surveillance device in said template script to create in real time a completed executable script specifically related to a detected event and to cause the completed script to be executed without user interaction in response to a detected event. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
