Abstract: Tracking objects with a grid of modular security and lighting devices includes triggering, based on event, a first sensor to begin capturing data of an object. In one embodiment, the first sensor is a first camera included in a first modular security and lighting device. The devices within the grid analyze captured sensor data such as first images of the object, and select, based on the analyzing, another sensor such as a second camera to begin capturing data of the object. In one example, the second camera is included in a second modular security and lighting device within the grid of modular security and lighting devices and the first and second modular security and lighting devices are located in geographically distinct locations.
