Abstract
A method and system for intelligent monitoring and intelligent alerting. One or more data inputs are received from one or more systems. A weight is attributed to each data input based on the data input, the source of the data input, and other factors. One or more video inputs are received from one or more video sources. Image analysis is performed on the video data to determine one or more video parameters. The video parameters are assigned one or more weights based on the video source and other factors. A series of rules are evaluated using the data inputs, the video inputs, and their respective weights. An associated action is performed for each rule that is activated. The present invention may be used for various security and safety purposes, including fighting crime, detecting and preventing terrorist activity, and ensuring safety procedures are followed.
