1. A system comprising:
- a processing server to receive video from a plurality of video sensors monitoring an environment and streaming video into the system;
a database to store accounts for a plurality of system users collectively monitoring the video streams, the users generating events in relation to the video streams, the system users being divided into a number of predetermined roles with each role having differing predetermined levels of access to the system, a first role including the ability to add and delete new users to the system with particular roles and a second role including the ability to log events to report among the system users but not an ability to add and delete new users; and
a reporting system for reporting actions including logged events taken by the system users among the system users.

9. A system for monitoring an environment, the system comprising:
-
a series of network connected video sensors monitoring various events in the environment; and a monitoring application interconnected to the video sensors and running on the network for the monitoring of the video sensors by a collection of users, the monitoring application including an event log for monitoring by the users of events occurring in the environment and for providing real time interaction through user comments in relation thereto, the event log receiving events and comments from the users, the users being divided into a number of predetermined roles with each role having differing predetermined levels of access to the event log, a first role including the ability to add and delete new users with particular roles and a second role including the ability to log events to the event log but not an ability to add and delete new users. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method comprising:
-
receiving video from a plurality of video sensors monitoring an environment at a processing server of a social networking system; storing accounts in a database of the social networking system for a plurality of system users collectively monitoring the received video streams and generating events in relation to the received video streams, the system users being divided in the database into a number of predetermined roles with each role having differing levels of access to the system, allowing system users with the highest level of access to add and delete new users to the system and to determine roles of other users; allowing system users with the lowest level of access to log events to report among the system users; and reporting actions including events logged by the system users among the system users by a reporting system of the social networking system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
