Abstract: A system including a smart camera and a server computer. The smart camera may be configured to capture video data comprising a plurality of video frames, detect a triggering event and select a plurality of images from the plurality of video frames of the video data in response to the triggering event and communicate the plurality of images. The server computer may be configured to receive the plurality of images, analyze the plurality of images to perform an additional detection corresponding to the triggering event and generate a signal in response to the additional detection. The server computer may implement a neural network for analyzing the plurality of images. The neural network may use more computing resources than the smart camera uses for detecting the triggering event. Communicating the plurality of images may use less bandwidth than communicating the video data.
