1. A dynamically reconfigurable video surveillance system, comprising:

  • at least one video camera, a remote server, at least one viewing terminal, means for recording video sequences captured by the at least one video camera, wherein;

    the at least one video camera and the remote server comprise means for communicating with one another across a telecommunications network;

    the at least one video camera further comprises means for compressing the captured video sequences, a compression rate for compression being adapted dynamically based on control commands originating from the remote server;

    the at least one video camera further comprises means for analyzing said compressed video sequences to characterize activity detected in a field of view of the at least one video camera and to transmit a result of the characterization to the remote server in the form of signaling data; and

    the remote server further comprises means for computing, for each of the compressed video streams originating from the at least one video camera, a control command configured to parametrize each of the compressed video streams based on the signaling data received from the at least one video camera.
