Abstract
An illustrative example surveillance system designed according to an embodiment of this invention includes a plurality of cells that respectively include a surveillance network including at least one detector that is configured to detect at least one type of subject. The cells have respective detection areas within which a subject may be detected by the at least one detector of that cell. A controller of the cell determines information regarding tracking of a detected subject that is in that cell. The controller hands off tracking of the subject to a second one of the cells based upon an indication that the tracked subject is moving toward the detection area of the second one of the cells.
