Abstract
A method and system for remote surveillance information processing by an end user to ensure the safety of personnel, facilities and property. The user remotely accesses video streams from one or more cameras at each of a set of stores, facilities or other locations. After reviewing video streams for a specific audit item or guard tour stop, the user can input into the computer a classification of the audited video stream according to a set of predefined criteria. The user then generates a report summarizing the reviewed items and their classifications, which is transmitted to designated recipients. The present invention also includes a networked computer system for generating, performing and modifying audits and guard tours, creating guard audit reports, and providing access to the images that support the conclusions contained in the reports.
