Methods and systems for detecting motion corresponding to a field of interest

A system that performs motion analysis in a field of interest, wherein the system further comprises:

• at least one gateway disposable proximal to the field of interest, wherein the at least one gateway is configured as a two-way interface capable of communicating with a remote monitoring center and the plurality of motion sensors;
• a plurality of motion sensors configured to be disposed as a network in the field of interest, wherein a motion sensor comprises:
• a photodetector array configured to perform photodetection and further configured to generate digital information representing a sample;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the photodetector array;
• a wireless transmitter communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the wireless transmitter is configured to transmit the digital information to at least one of a motion sensor of the plurality of motion sensors and the at least one gateway;
• and
• a power source configured to provide electrical energy to the processor and the wireless transmitter;
• a plurality of video cameras disposable at a plurality of key locations in the field of interest, wherein each video camera is configured to capture image sequences associated with a portion of the field of interest, wherein at least one video camera is further configured to transmit a part of a corresponding image sequence to at least one of the remote monitoring center through the at least one gateway.
