Abstract
A surveillance system detects events in an environment. The system includes a camera arranged in the environment, and multiple context sensors arranged in the environment. The sensors are configured to detect events in the environment. A processor is coupled to the camera and the context sensors via a network. The processor provides the camera with actions based only on the events detected by the context sensors. The actions cause the camera to view the detected events.
