Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for detecting incidents within an area covered by CCTV network. Specifically, the present invention relates to utilising detections of gunshots to autonomously direct CCTV cameras to cover an area in which a gunshot was detected. The present invention provides a method for automatically directing CCTV cameras, wherein said CCTV cameras are each equipped with a microphone and are at known positions, comprising: filtering sounds received at each said microphone to detect a sound of a gunshot at at least three of the said CCTV cameras; triangulating a position of the gunshot from the three or more CCTV cameras known positions; and sending commands to the CCTV cameras around the position of the gunshot to point at the position of the gunshot.
