This paper describes recent improvements in developing SmartMonitor — an innovative security system based on existing traditional surveillance systems and video content analysis algorithms. The system is being developed to ensure the safety of people and assets within small areas. It is intended to work without the need for user supervision and to be widely customizable to meet an individual's requirements. In this paper, the fundamental characteristics of the system are presented including a simplified representation of its modules. Methods and algorithms that have been investigated so far alongside those that could be employed in the future are described. In order to show the effectiveness of the methods and algorithms described, some experimental results are provided together with a concise explanation.
