Selective video analytics based on capture location of video

A surveillance system comprising:

• a mobile security device including:
• a video camera carried by the mobile security device;
• a memory;
• a position sensor;
• a transceiver;
• a controller operably coupled to the video camera, the memory, the position sensor and the transceiver, the controller configured to:
• instruct the video camera to capture video and save the captured video to the memory;
• determine a position of the mobile security device, based on information provided by the position sensor, at a time that is representative of when the video camera captured the video;
• transmit at least part of the captured video saved in the memory along with the corresponding position
• a remote device including:
• a memory configured to store a plurality of available video analytics algorithms;
• a transceiver;
• a controller operably coupled to the memory and the transceiver of the remote device, the controller of the remote device is configured to:
• receive the at least part of the captured video and the corresponding position transmitted by the mobile security device;
• select one or more video analytics algorithms from the plurality of available video analytics algorithms based at least in part upon the received position of the mobile security device, wherein the selected one or more video analytics algorithms include less than all of the plurality of available video analytics algorithms;
• perform the selected one or more video analytics algorithms on the received captured video, resulting in one or more video analytics results;
• and
• store the one or more video analytics results.

A method of performing video surveillance, the method comprising:

• capturing a video from a location;
• storing a location indicator representative of the location;
• selecting one or more video analytics algorithms from a plurality of available video analytics algorithms based at least in part on the location indicator, wherein the selected one or more video analytics algorithms include less than all of the plurality of available video analytics algorithms;
• performing the selected one or more video analytics algorithms on the captured video, resulting in one or more results;
• and
• displaying at least some of the one or more results on a display.
