Dynamically reconfigurable intelligent video surveillance system
First Claim
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.

Abstract
A dynamically reconfigurable video surveillance system includes at least one video camera, a remote server, at least one viewing terminal, means making it possible to record the video sequences captured by the camera or cameras, said system being characterized in that: the video camera or cameras and the remote server include means for communicating with one another across a telecommunications network; the video camera or cameras include means for compressing the video sequences captured, the compression rate being adapted dynamically by taking account of the control messages originating from the remote server; the video camera or cameras include means for analyzing said video sequences in the compressed domain, to characterize the activity detected in their field of vision and to forward the result of this characterization to the remote server; the remote server include means for computing for each of the compressed video streams originating from the video camera or cameras a command making it possible to parametrize each of them by taking account of the signaling data received.
