Abstract: Research into computer based video surveillance has led to sophisticated surveillance systems capable of monitoring and classifying human behaviour and featuring advanced scene understanding. Many such systems stream raw video data to centralised processing clusters for analysis.

Trends indicate that, with the increasing processing capabilities of embedded hardware, low level video processing will migrate from centralised configurations to the sensors themselves. It is expected that these ‘intelligent’ devices will be equipped with wireless interfaces so as to allow for true ubiquitous installation.

This work discusses how existing technologies have been combined to build a foundation for the provision of portable hand-held access to current and next generation wireless video surveillance systems. The design and implementation of an initial server and client software infrastructure that provides camera discovery and video streaming is discussed.
