Abstract: An activity recognition system may comprise a local device and a server. The local device may be configured to: obtain a video; determine whether at least one human is present in one or more frames of the video; in response to determining the at least one human present in the video, determine if the at least one human in each of the frames corresponds to the same person; in response to determining that the at least one human in each of the frames corresponds to the same person, determine if the person is a stranger; and in response to determining that the person is not a stranger, transmit at least a portion of the video to the server. The server may be configured to: predict an activity class associated with the person; and trigger an alarm based on the activity class.

Abstract: A surveillance system may comprise one or more computing devices and one or more robotic surveillance devices. The one or more computing devices may be configured to obtain video data captured by one or more cameras. The one or more computing devices may analyze the video data to determine whether there is any trigger event. In response to determining that there is a trigger event, the one or more computing device may determine an optimal robotic surveillance device among the one or more robotic surveillance devices based on the trigger event and provide an instruction to the optimal robotic surveillance device. The optimal robotic surveillance device may be configured to perform a responding action in response to receiving the instruction.

Abstract: A surveillance method may comprise obtaining one or more alert levels, and for each of the alert levels, obtaining a user configuration of an action for responding to the alert level, training a model with marked training materials for detecting the alert level of a triggering event from a camera input, obtaining a user configuration of a time for executing the action, and obtaining a user configuration of a system for executing the action.
