1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first video proxy of a first master surveillance video of a monitored event, captured by a first monitoring system;
receiving a second video proxy of a second master surveillance video of the monitored event, captured by a second monitoring system, wherein the first and second video proxies are of lower resolution than the first and second master surveillance videos;
correlating video information, associated with the first video proxy and the second video proxy, to determine a level of correlation;
generating, based on the level of correlation, an alert related to the monitored event;
storing the first master surveillance video and the second master surveillance video in a database;
receiving a request for access to a mapped portion of the first master surveillance video or the second master surveillance video based on frame information derived from the correlating, andtransmitting the mapped portion to the first monitoring system and the second monitoring system in response to the request.

Abstract
An approach is provided for video monitoring. A video server records an event to output a video master and to generate a video proxy of the master. A monitoring server transmits the video proxy to a central monitoring system that is configured to correlate the video proxy with other video proxies from a plurality of sources.

11. A system comprising:
-
a first processing module configured to receive a first video proxy of a first master video of an event under surveillance, obtained at a first monitoring system, and to receive a second video proxy of a second master video of the event under surveillance, obtained at a second monitoring system, wherein the first and second video proxies are of lower resolution than the first and second master videos; a second processing module configured to correlate video information associated with the first video proxy and the second video proxy, to determine a level of correlation, and generate, based on the level of correlation, an alert related to the event under surveillance; and a database configured to store the first video master and the second video master, and receive a request for access to a mapped portion of the first video master or the second video master based on frame information derived from the correlation, and the first processing module being further configured to transmit the mapped portion to the first monitoring system and the second monitoring system in response to the request. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method comprising:
-
recording an event, under surveillance, to output a high resolution video master; generating a lower resolution video proxy, relative to the video master; transmitting the video proxy to a central monitoring system that is configured to correlate the video proxy with other video proxies, received from a plurality of sources of other recordings of the event under surveillance; receiving, from the central monitoring system, an alert related to the event under surveillance, based on a level of correlation, between the video proxy and at least one of the other video proxies, determined at the central monitoring system; receiving a request for access to a mapped portion of the high resolution video master based on frame information derived from the correlating of the video proxy with the at least one other video proxy, and transmitting the mapped portion in response to the request. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)

25. A system comprising:
-
a video server configured to record an event, under surveillance, to output a video master and to generate a video proxy of the video master; and a monitoring server configured to; transmit the video proxy to a central monitoring system that is configured to correlate the video proxy with other video proxies from a plurality of sources associated with recordings of the event under surveillance, and receive, from the central monitoring system, an alert related to the event under surveillance, based on a level of correlation, between the video proxy and at least one of the other video proxies, determined at the central monitoring system; receive a request for access to a mapped portion of the video master based on frame information derived from the correlating of the video proxy with the at least one other video proxy, and transmit the mapped portion in response to the request. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)
