Video surveillance has long been in use to monitor security sensitive areas such as banks, department stores, highways, crowded public places and borders.The advance in computing power, availability of large-capacity storage devices and high speed network infrastructure paved the way for cheaper, multi-sensor video surveillance systems.Traditionally, the video outputs are processed online by human operators and are usually saved to tapes for later use only after a forensic event.The increase in the number of cameras in ordinary surveillance systems overloaded both the human operators and the storage devices with high volumes of data and made it in-feasible to ensure proper monitoring of sensitive areas for long times.
