A method for video surveillance, a related system, a related surveillance server, and a related surveillance camera

The present invention relates to a video surveillance system where this system comprises a surveillance camera for capturing video images of an observable area of the surveillance camera and a surveillance server for distributing the images captured by the surveillance camera (fully or partially) or parts thereof to each surveillance client device of a plurality of surveillance client devices for rendering the images captured or said parts/selection thereof. The surveillance camera and the server are coupled over a first link and the surveillance server is coupled to each surveillance client device. The video surveillance system further comprises a viewport selection part that is adapted to select an individual viewport from the images captured by the surveillance camera, for each surveillance client device of the plurality of surveillance client devices based upon a view port request from each surveillance client device of the plurality of surveillance client devices, wherein the video surveillance system further comprises a viewport optimization part that is able to determine an optimization action destined for said surveillance camera based a view port request from each surveillance client device of said plurality of surveillance client devices and a Viewport optimization Instructing part, that is able to instruct the camera to execute the optimization action for optimizing the observable area based on the viewport requests of each surveillance client device of the plurality of surveillance client devices.
