For the better security and safety of community, huge amount of video surveillance cameras are installed everywhere nowadays. It is thus highly desired to demand the security systems to real-time monitor and analyze events so as to generate real-time alerts and take appropriate real-time actions to minimize the damages caused by crimes and threats. Thanks to the success of wireless broadband access technologies, such as Wi-Fi and WiMAX/LTE technologies, real-time video surveillance and networking for large scale camera networks is now made possible. The applications include large scale community surveillance, environmental monitoring, military maneuvering, etc.
