This paper presents the principle of a perception system meant for delivering alarms when dreaded activities are suspected. It includes a Symbolic Layer (SL) that deals with activities recognition and alarm decision, and a Resource Management System (RML) that, upon request, provides SL with information. The domain to be watched over includes several areas that cannot be checked at the same time because of the limited capabilities of the resources, and the crucial problem is to optimize the use of the resources. It is shown how sensors are dynamically allocated to limited parts of the scene and how it is decided between immediate alarm or additional information request without explicit situation assessment. The principle of an implementation within a real time multi-task architecture is also presented.
