    Abstract: Methods and systems for co-relating location and identity data available from Access Points (APs) and video surveillance systems are provided. According to one embodiment, data, including a unique identifier of an object and information regarding a first geo-position of the object, is received from an AP of a wireless network of a venue. A video feed captured by a camera system monitoring a portion of the venue and/or information regarding a second geo-position corresponding to the object are also received. The first and second geo-positions are then mapped to a common coordinate system. Based on the unique identifier, information regarding the object as reported by the AP and the camera system or derived therefrom are correlated. Finally, behavioral attributes of the correlated object are assessed based on one or a combination of actions of the object, the first and second geo-positions and the common coordinate system.
