A monitoring camera is connected to an external power source. The external power source has an external maximum power level. Image data gets processed in a first processing state. The monitoring camera detects an event (202) and determines the type of the detected event (206). The amount of energy in an energy accumulator is determined (208) in the monitoring camera. Based on the type of event, the external maximum power level, and the determined amount of energy in the energy accumulator, a second processing state is determined (210). The second processing state requires a power level that is higher than the external maximum power level. The image data is then processed (212) in a second processing state.
