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

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.

15. A system for facilitating monitoring of multiple disparate sites, the system comprising:
-
a rule-definition module for defining a set of rules, each rule describing an event 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. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. An article of manufacture having computer-readable program portions stored thereon for monitoring activity at multiple disparate sites, the computer-readable program portions comprising 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; 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; receiving alerts from multiple sites indicating the occurrence of one or more of the events of interest at the respective sites; and analyzing the alerts to detect inconsistencies among the site-specific events attributed to each of the multiple disparate sites.

39. A system for facilitating monitoring of multiple disparate sites, the system comprising:
-
a rule-definition module for defining a set of rules, each rule describing an event of interest and comprising one or more site-specific components and one or more site-independent components; a transmission module for (i) 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 and (ii) receiving one or more alerts from the sites, each alert indicating occurrence of one or more of the events of interest ; and an analysis module for analyzing the received alerts to detect inconsistencies among the site-specific components attributed to the one or more multiple disparate sites. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
