Abstract: A video camera includes a camera for capturing a video stream and a controller that is operably coupled to the camera. The controller, which includes processing resources, is configured to determine a current utilization of one or more of the processing resources and to determine which of a plurality of video analytics algorithms should be executed based at least in part on the determined current utilization of the one or more processing resources. The controller is configured to execute two or more of the plurality of video analytics algorithms on the video stream to identify one or more events in the video stream, wherein the controller executes the two or more of the plurality of video analytics algorithms, and sends an alert in response to identifying one or more events in the video stream.

Abstract: A monitored area including a plurality of video cameras is monitored for possible events. A video camera captures a video stream showing a portion of the monitored area and performs video analysis on the captured video stream. When the video camera identifies an event of interest within the captured video stream, the video camera generates event information associated with the identified event of interest. The video camera uses the relative location information to determine which video camera of the plurality of video cameras is positioned to capture the event of interest now and/or in the future and instructs that video camera to track the event.
